She is 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: our guest. Lorraine is director of Asia Equity Resesearch at 9 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: Morning Stars. She joins us from the line city of Singapore. 10 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 2: Lorraine is the reaction that we're seeing across equity markets 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 2: in the APAC solely due to this weak print on 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 2: US jobs in the worry that the FED maybe behind 13 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: the curve. 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 3: Yes, certainly for the most part. 15 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 4: I think the raises the risks that earn that the 16 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 4: economy is going to be slower than expected. The slowgun 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 4: down could be steeper, and that hurts earnings we've got 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 4: obviously in the Japan market, the situation with the en 19 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 4: rising and offsetting share market gains as well in US 20 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 4: dollar terms, So those are two distinct I think factors 21 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 4: at the moment. 22 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: Lareen, what about what we're also seeing in terms of 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: this unwinding across assets traders a couple of weeks ago, 24 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: when we saw that short squeeze, we're also reconsidering their 25 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: leverage bits. Is this what you're also seeing in terms 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: of the pool out from stocks across the region. 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 4: Actually, we started seeing a little bit of a defensive 28 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 4: switch starting in the second quarter. The sector that I 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 4: performed with the utilities, I think a lot of there 30 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 4: was some switching at that point into the yield place 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 4: the expectation that regarding that the FED was going to 32 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 4: cut anyway, So we did see technology as a whole 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 4: sort of not really outperformer was flat roughly in the 34 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 4: second quarter, except maybe for a couple of key names 35 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 4: like TSMC Media Tech. Really the AI plays was driving 36 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 4: that higher. So I think if you're talking about some 37 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 4: of the defensiveness, yes, I think people want to lock 38 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 4: in their gains, and I think this is going to 39 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 4: this behavior probably continue for a little for a little while. 40 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: So if you expect the behavior to continue for a 41 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: while longer, I wouldn't imagine that you employ a buy 42 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: the dip strategy at this point, right, I mean, it 43 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: was only a short while ago we had the nie 44 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 2: k above forty thousand, we're at around thirty three thousand 45 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: at the moment. 46 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got to let things. 47 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 4: I think the tendencies you want to have things settle 48 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: down a bit. But where if we really don't know 49 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 4: where it's going to bottom, let's say that's difficult to tell. 50 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: We'll be much more focused on where we see value. 51 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 4: And obviously, you know, we take these as opportunities to 52 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 4: pick up names that we like as they when they 53 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 4: come down. So, yes, there were a lot of names 54 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 4: that were particularly in Japan, that were getting slightly expensive. 55 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 4: There were laggards obviously. I think there's still factory automation 56 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 4: names in Japan. There are good proxies to China recovery 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 4: without the geopolitic issues. So I think those are some 58 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 4: namings that we like as they come down. I think 59 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 4: the Japanese banks are something that we'd want to look 60 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 4: at for the longer term, because you know, with interest 61 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 4: rates moving a little bit up in Japan, we think 62 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 4: that the upside to ROI is still there for the 63 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 4: banks in Japan. 64 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: Just picking up on your point on the banks, though 65 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: they were among the sectors that were the worst hit 66 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: late last week, so it makes you wonder, you know, 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: even if their profitability might be boosted with these rate hikes, 68 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: do those concerns broadly about the Japanese economy being able 69 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: to outstand BOJ rate hikes kind of overshadow the outlook 70 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: for them. 71 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 4: Well, we don't expect the BOJ to actually raise rates 72 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 4: on a very aggressive level. We've maintained a view that 73 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 4: is going to be a very gradual upside. Firstly, you know, 74 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 4: most of the blending or borrowing in Japan, the mortgages 75 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 4: are not fixed, so I think that the you know, 76 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 4: VOJ is going to be wary of raising rates too 77 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 4: much based on those situations. Obviously looking at what's going 78 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 4: on with inflation, so inflation pressure should ease, and even 79 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 4: if they are maintained at sort of current levels, we 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 4: don't expect the BOJ to really raise rates aggressively. 81 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: What other sectors do you like in Japan? These small, 82 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: medium sized companies, Are they going to be the ones 83 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: perhaps benefiting a bit more compared to the large caps. 84 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 4: We don't really differentiate being small and large. We look 85 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 4: at where the value is. I think obviously we do 86 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: like some of the names as I mentioned that could 87 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 4: benefit as the Chinese economy starts to recover. I think 88 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 4: that's going to be that might come out. You know, 89 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 4: we're looking for, for example, trying to real estate prices 90 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 4: to start to stabilize on a broader basis early into 91 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, So sometime over the next nine months 92 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 4: we expect China consumption data to start to improve. So 93 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 4: I think that has a lot to do with the 94 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 4: confidence in China, and once that picks up, you know, 95 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 4: the China the proxies to that China recovery. Some of 96 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 4: the Japanese names there, like a Factory Automation side vanuk Yaskawa, 97 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 4: who have been lagging. 98 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 3: We expect those to do better. 99 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 4: Obviously, from speaking on China itself, we still like the 100 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 4: domestic consumption place there, and. 101 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: You've liked it for a while now. And this is 102 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: all banking on the expectations that we'll see that recovery eventually, 103 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: one that has been delayed a number of times. We're 104 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: hearing over the weekend how China is rolling out an 105 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: action plan to boost domestic consumption. Do you think that's 106 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: going to move the needle a bit further? 107 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 4: I think anything that can help should help, hopefully help, 108 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: but basically we feel that that employment will always lag, 109 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 4: so that part of it could be a bit slow 110 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 4: in terms of recovery. Where we do think that to 111 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 4: be a faster uppick tickup is in confidence. 112 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 3: So we do need to see the real. 113 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 4: Estate home prices start to stabilize there. So with the 114 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 4: local governments absorbing some of the excess inventory, we actually 115 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: expect that in excess inventory levels to sort of start 116 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 4: easing over the next ninety twenty four months. 117 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 2: We get the export data for China midweek, are you 118 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: expecting the number to come in a little on the 119 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: stronger side for July? And if that's the case, will 120 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: industrial production continue to be this bright spot for China. 121 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 3: It's it's kind of hard to say. 122 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 4: I think a lot of the reason, the reason uptick 123 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 4: probably has to do more with seasonal factors than a 124 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 4: general trend. 125 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: I think if you look at the risks where. 126 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 4: The you know that we're seeing with the US data, 127 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 4: we do expect US economies worth there is below two percent, 128 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 4: so we are anticipating pretty much lower global growth over 129 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 4: the next twelve months. So that's going to weigh on 130 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 4: China data. So we're not we may see seasonal bumps 131 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 4: months a month, but we don't really expect a big 132 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 4: change in the Trendlren. 133 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: Also want to get your thoughts on the tech sector. 134 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we're hearing how Boksha Hathaway is almost having 135 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: its stake in Apple. How do you view it overall 136 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: among these techniques that already being hit by doubt about 137 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: whether AI can deliver. 138 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 4: I think the market ran ahead of expectations and therefore 139 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 4: the valuations of some of the leading names in this 140 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 4: space have really shot up, probably overshot fair valuations. So 141 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 4: what we're seeing is that you know, we're looking at 142 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 4: these names come down to much better and more reasonable 143 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 4: levels if you look at the. 144 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: Broad US market. Really the. 145 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 4: Broad market didn't perform as well as you know the 146 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 4: Magnificent seven. But so those are the names obviously that 147 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 4: are being put over that we'll pull back. And Vivia, 148 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 4: even coming down to the level it is now, is 149 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 4: still probably fairly valued in our books, So we still 150 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 4: think they're there Before we buy some of these names, 151 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 4: it's probably got still a little bit room to downside 152 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 4: before we pick these names up. 153 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: Okay, you touched on this earlier. You know how when 154 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: we saw that sell off late last week in US, 155 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: there were some sectors that were still pretty buoyant, utilities, 156 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: real estate. What do you think the key drivers are 157 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: going to be towards the end of the year. 158 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 4: I think the slow in growth and the fact that 159 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 4: interest rates are coming down. I think investors have started 160 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 4: to rotate into utilities, the more defensive names, the names 161 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 4: with potential dividend growth, so those attractive youths obviously, so 162 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 4: utility is actually outperformed, has been outperforming this year. We 163 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 4: think there's room still in some of the other names, 164 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: such as reets. Yes, it's the commercial real estate market 165 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 4: is difficult and challenging still will likely be the case 166 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 4: for the next few years, but we anticipate that most 167 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 4: of the negatives are probably reflected in share prices, so 168 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 4: we think there's room for some of the reads to 169 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 4: start moving up. And then obviously some of the traditional 170 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 4: dividend place some of the aerospace defense names, particularly defense names, 171 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 4: probably are also a little. 172 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 3: Bit more stable. 173 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: Lorraine, thank you so much for making the time to 174 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: chat with us. Lorraine ten is director of Asia Equity 175 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: Research over at morning Star, joining from Singapore on the 176 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: Monday morning edition of Daybreak Asia welcome our guest, Victoria Bill. 177 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: She is the chief investment strategist at Bandery on Capital Management, 178 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 2: and Victoria joins us the windy city of Chicago. Nice 179 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: of you to drop by, Thanks so much. 180 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 5: Always it happy to blow on and from the Weddy City. 181 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: So let's start with the jobs data, because it looked 182 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: like the market is convinced that we are now verging 183 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: on a hard landing Goldman Sachs raising the probability of 184 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: a recession call here is it that dire in your view? 185 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 5: I think, as always, the market has a tendency to 186 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 5: over exaggerate some of these plays or even some of 187 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 5: these kind of downward playing downward metrics that they might 188 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 5: see from. Even if we consider twenty eighteen twenty nineteen 189 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 5: pre pandemic levels, we were seeing unemployment around a three 190 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 5: point nine percent. Four point three percent is just around average, 191 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 5: I would say, of what we've been seeing in a 192 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 5: normal sea times. And even with the initial jobless claims 193 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 5: that we've been seeing of about like two hundred and 194 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 5: forty nine K, A lot of those job losses have 195 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 5: actually been coming from the technology sector, which many would 196 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 5: argue has already been relatively bloated and when it comes 197 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 5: to kind of like a lot of things in the 198 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 5: AI space or even AI plays, I would say that 199 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 5: a lot of these tech companies are kind of peeling 200 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 5: back or kind of pulling back some of their workforce 201 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 5: in order to kind of be more leaner in their 202 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 5: structure rather than again some of the larger claims that 203 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 5: this is a like examples of what might happen for 204 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 5: a hard landing, and some of the other things that 205 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 5: I've been seeing also that kind of I would say, 206 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 5: lend kind of a credence that this isn't necessarily a 207 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 5: hard landing, is that we've been seeing inflationary pressures coming down. 208 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 6: We've been seeing. 209 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 5: GDP growth at like one point five percent for the 210 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 5: US economy, so a relatively strong like jobs market on 211 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 5: top of GDP growth. Even with those jobs claims, I 212 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 5: think it's kind of more of an overplay in or 213 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 5: exaggeration that the market tends to do in these in 214 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 5: these moments, So. 215 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 2: A moment ago, I mentioned the selling that we had 216 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 2: in the equity space on Friday, and I'm looking at 217 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: the e miny futures trading now for the American market 218 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: with the S and P five hundred off about eight 219 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: tens of one percent. Nasdaq one hundred is down another 220 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: one point three percent. Would you be looking for more 221 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: weakness in the days ahead. 222 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 6: I would definitely be looking for more weakness. 223 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 5: Again, if I were the FED, if I were chairman Power, 224 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 5: I would be looking for I would be looking for 225 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 5: that CPE or even that PC data to have a spike. 226 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 6: If I wanted to consider not even doing a rate cut, 227 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 6: I would do. 228 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 5: I would have considerations around GDP growth rather than looking 229 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 5: at this one data point around unemployment unemployment rate or 230 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 5: even like initial jobless claims, because again it's more so 231 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 5: indicative again of strong job growth in the industrials, healthcare, 232 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 5: and even like retention around those sectors, and it's more 233 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 5: of a kind of like I would say, a sell 234 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 5: off of technology stocks and technology based companies. 235 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 2: Is it too late to participate in the bond market 236 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: right now? Do you think that the easy money has 237 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: been made? 238 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 6: Not necessarily? 239 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 5: I think there's I mean again, I think there's always 240 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 5: opportunity wherever you look in the market, whether we're looking 241 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 5: at short term play in terms of like mortgage rates 242 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 5: or anything like that, I think, or even like private credit. 243 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 5: I think that there's still an argument to be made 244 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 5: around private credit space, especially for small mid sized companies. 245 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 3: Bank. 246 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 5: A lot of VC bad companies or like early companies 247 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 5: from twenty twenty going into twenty twenty two, are still 248 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 5: kind of looking for those upgrounds and kind of struggling 249 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 5: to raise VC dollars, and so a lot of those 250 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 5: companies have started to turn to the private credit space, 251 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,599 Speaker 5: and so we've been seeing a huge boom and opportunity 252 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 5: in that area. And again with rates kind of potentially 253 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 5: coming down, was there's still margins to be made, but 254 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 5: it's definitely not going to be the top dollar that 255 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 5: we were seeing for the past year and a half. 256 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 2: So you don't seem to be in the camp that 257 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: the next move would be a fifty bases point rate 258 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 2: cut in September. Am I right on that? 259 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 6: So not quite. So I do believe that there is 260 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 6: potentiality for a rate cut. 261 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 5: I think that again some of the metrics and everything 262 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 5: would be that we've been seeing has come down enough 263 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 5: to show that inflation, while still a problem or potential 264 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 5: tailwind in the market, is something that is not as 265 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 5: much of a factor or a burden as it used 266 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 5: to be earlier. This year, So I do believe that 267 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 5: there is a possibility for a rate cut to happen 268 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 5: in September, but I do believe that we're still going 269 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 5: to have to again as long as these numbers continue 270 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 5: to stabilize, and as as long as we continue to 271 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 5: see a stable growth in the US economy, I think 272 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 5: that that will lead credence to a September rate cut 273 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 5: right now, But again, my point is that the US 274 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 5: economy is going strong and is doing well. But again 275 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 5: we've just been seeing a slow down from what we 276 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 5: had been seeing in previous years, which is exactly what 277 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 5: the FED wants. 278 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: I'm curious as to whether or not you see politics, 279 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 2: whether it's geopolitics or domestic politics, becoming a factor here 280 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: in markets in the near term. 281 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 5: It definitely does, depending on the candidate that wins the 282 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 5: presidency come September this year November, we can basically expect 283 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 5: Trump is very pro crypto, very pro business and capitalism, 284 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 5: and so we can see, or we can predict, there's 285 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 5: probably going to be a huge rush or surge that's 286 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 5: going to happen in the stock market. 287 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 6: From that perspective, if. 288 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 5: We're going in the realm or in the bank of 289 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 5: Kamala Harris, I think there's I'm not as well educated 290 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 5: on her talking points, but I think one of the 291 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 5: things that she's going to be very pro on is 292 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 5: again creating better relations with China as well as in 293 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 5: the United States, but also working to try and keep 294 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 5: those job numbers very strong here in the US economy. 295 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 5: I would say that just given Trump's VP pick and 296 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 5: everything that we've been seeing there, he's kind of taken 297 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 5: on a very pro corporate stance, and I think Kamala 298 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 5: would probably do the same thing, and so the reaction 299 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 5: to that would probably be very positively received from the 300 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 5: markets from both sides. 301 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: Are you primarily focused on the US? Are you seeing 302 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: any opportunities offshore right now that we need to know about. 303 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 5: Our primary focus at this time is in the US, 304 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 5: But in terms of offshore opportunities, if I'm looking at 305 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 5: companies that are in like technolo, If I'm looking at 306 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 5: companies that are in the technology space or even banking, 307 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 5: there's plenty of opportunity that's happening in India. If I'm 308 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 5: looking at pharmaceuticals, Nevardes is an amazing company that we 309 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 5: are very supportive of. 310 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 6: Overall, they've had just like a very good year in. 311 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 5: Terms of market cap and has been able to have 312 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 5: like a great compelling story around just earnings. But I 313 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 5: would say that most of the companies that we focus 314 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 5: on is domestic. 315 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: Victoria will leave it there. Thank you so much for 316 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: making time to chat with us US Sunday night in Chicago. 317 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: She is Victoria Bill's chief investment strategist at banry On Capital. 318 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: We welcome our guest, George but Boris. He is managing 319 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: director at K two. He joins us from Sydney. Always 320 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: a pleasure, George. I think we have to begin with 321 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 2: the employment data and this issue of a growth scare. 322 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: Are you worried about maybe a hard landing happening in 323 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: the US? 324 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 7: Hello, thanks for having me on. Not scared at all, 325 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 7: not looking for a hard landing. It's just one data point, 326 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 7: and yes it is quite soft the data, and even 327 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 7: the government employment data is quite weak as well, and 328 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 7: more people looking for work. But one data point in 329 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 7: itself is not policy effective effect in that sort of scenario. 330 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 7: But we're just looking at the soft landing scenario. The 331 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 7: bond mark has done the extraordinary rally months to date 332 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 7: or over the past four weeks, I should say, and 333 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 7: that inversion is quite concerning, but we just say that 334 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 7: everything's on the table. The language is quite consistent for 335 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,239 Speaker 7: a September rate cut and that's twenty five plays as 336 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 7: points by the FED. 337 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: So with a pullback that we have been seeing in 338 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: equity prices, not just in the US on Friday, but 339 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 2: I'm looking at futures treading in Chicago for the Japanese market, 340 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 2: we could be down by more than eleven hundred points. 341 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: Would you be looking at these moments of selling as 342 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: opportunities to add to your position if you're long stocks 343 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: right now? 344 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 7: Active our managers, like ourselves globally have been part of 345 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 7: that rotation that's been on and off again for two 346 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 7: years now, but that rotation out of s and P 347 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 7: five hundred trying to take those gains but remaining within 348 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 7: the equity asset class. And so we're still looking at that. 349 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 7: And what we would say is there's opportunity for SMP 350 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 7: five hundred at the end of this reporting period to 351 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 7: have a look through on if it's overdone on the weakness. 352 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 7: And also having said that, we'll be looking at Nikey 353 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 7: as well in this retlacement because of the BOJ movement 354 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 7: last week, and that obviously stretched on valuations like the 355 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 7: SMP five hundred. They'll be two markets will be looking 356 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 7: for and if we don't believe it will be an 357 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 7: aggressive rate cut cycle once a begin, it will be 358 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 7: very shallow. So that is supportive for MidCap us, but 359 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 7: not as supportive as some people are pricing in. So 360 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 7: there's a number of different moving parts remain in that 361 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 7: equity s the class because it's not a hand hard landing. 362 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 7: A non recession scenario has been engineered we believe to 363 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 7: come through, and that's still positive for aggregate earnings. With 364 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 7: a lot of uneveness across the sectors of course, so. 365 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: But bisectors those being most sensitive to swings in the economy, materials, industrials, 366 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: even the financials am I right. 367 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, So the materials to start with there though 368 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 7: obviously they've really come off a lot and been quite weak, 369 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 7: but taking a step back, and commodities have been weaker 370 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 7: over the past three months, just as the economic data, 371 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 7: the economic pulse in the develop world has been weak 372 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 7: in the past three months. 373 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 8: But even agricultural commodities and. 374 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 7: Bulks and metals and even energy, but let's. 375 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 8: Just take a step back. 376 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 7: Even despite the weakness in Bulka in resource sectors in general, 377 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 7: you're still looking at US one one hundred and three 378 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 7: for iron ore. That is quite a reasonable price point 379 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 7: at this stage of the cycle. It's just at the 380 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 7: correct happened on the back of that softer economic pulse. 381 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 8: The second order condition. 382 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 7: The thing to reinforce is three months of softer data 383 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 7: is coming through, but it's not going to be a 384 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 7: continuation of it. Right cuts begin, They're going to be 385 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 7: shallow right cuts. Don't expect anything aggressive. Or one hundred 386 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 7: basis points of right cuts between now near end is 387 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 7: how we'll be looking at it. 388 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 2: You know, the time is kind of interesting because if 389 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: this is a mild growth scare that's happening in the US, 390 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 2: it comes at a time when there is a great 391 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 2: deal of concern about the strength of the Chinese economy. 392 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 2: We'll get the trade data on Wednesday. Export figures may 393 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 2: show a little bit of strength, but I think that 394 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 2: exports really for China have been a bright spot and 395 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: one of the things that has kept industrial production growing. 396 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 2: If we have continued lackluster growth in the Chinese economies, 397 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 2: is that going to be a big factor in holding 398 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 2: back the growth rate of the global economy going forward. 399 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: Let's say in the next twelve months, it. 400 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 8: Does, but it's all about timing. 401 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 7: Clearly, while there's some good points of the Chinese economy, 402 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 7: they're in the world of pain on the construction cycle 403 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 7: with property. That's the biggest correction underway the world's ever seen. 404 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 8: Let's just say five to ten years to get out 405 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:11,719 Speaker 8: of that. 406 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 7: But they've been concentrating all of their factors of production 407 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 7: in fixed cost investments into the export sector. It's not 408 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 7: about domestic demand. We all know that narrative. It's pretty clear. 409 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 7: So the way to look at it is the more 410 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 7: the Biden administration takes on the tariff head on, which 411 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 7: is legitimate given what's been going on in recent years, 412 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 7: then that is going to be softer for the industrial 413 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 7: production cycle and therefore for commodities or things being equal. 414 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 8: But it's a catch twenty two. 415 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 7: It's that there is that softness to the Chinese economy, 416 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 7: but then there's a reacceleration in certain parts of it, 417 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 7: but it's not domestic demand driven. 418 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 8: It's export lead. 419 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 7: But we'll be looking at it from softer economic data 420 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 7: to the global GDP numbers from China going forward, not 421 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 7: growing contribution from China, so they're in the unique situation there. 422 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 7: But the export sector is going to continue to find 423 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 7: other markets outside of the USA, Canada and obviously Mexico with. 424 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 8: That old region in export. 425 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 2: So you're in Sydney. We have a rate decision later 426 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: in the week from the Reserve Bank of Australia. The 427 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 2: expectation right now is that the RBA will hold the 428 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 2: target rate ad around four point three five percent. I'm 429 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: imagining that's where you see things right now, especially after 430 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: core inflation cooled in the second quarter. Walk about economics, now, 431 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 2: how are things in Australia. 432 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, very quick narrative for Australia is that the Reserve 433 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 7: Bank of Australia over generalization. We are behind the curve, 434 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 7: too late to start the rate high cycle and not 435 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 7: enough and it's led to very stubborn core inflation relative 436 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 7: to other developed economies because of the very strong fiscal 437 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 7: students from the federal government and the state government level. 438 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 8: Now except just a lot in there, but the. 439 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 7: Point to reinforces it's very difficult to reconcile the logic 440 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 7: of making the case of rap cuts in Australia, all 441 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 7: things being equal, given the stubbornness of their second order 442 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 7: condition and that services inflation, and given the strong fiscal 443 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 7: stimulus at the federal and state level. 444 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 8: Now that's a odds with Canada, USA, New. 445 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 7: Zealand to some effect, ECB and the UK, But that's 446 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 7: how you should look at the Australian economy. 447 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 8: In aggregate, that's holding up because of the export sector. 448 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 7: There is a lot of pain and unneedness across the 449 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 7: domestic demand side of things, but that sticky inflation in 450 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 7: the core, that's the thing to take out of Australia 451 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 7: if you're looking at it from offshore. 452 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 2: So growth I believe in the first quarter was very weak. 453 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 2: Is that something that's going to be kind of stagnant 454 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 2: very quickly for the foreseeable future. 455 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 8: Yeah, very stagnant for the foreseable future. 456 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 7: For growth in Australia, it's going to be export orientated 457 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 7: lead and domestic demand is really that soft part of 458 00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 7: the Australian economy. 459 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 2: It's always a pleasure.
