Well, after that big sell off yesterday, 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: we're seeing markets rebound pretty strongly here with the the 9 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: SNP up about one percent. We had some good, very 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 1: good consumer confidence day to come out this morning, so 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: that's clearly supporting the market. To get a sense of 12 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: kind of where we are right now, we welcome at 13 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: Lisa Chalotte. She's a chief investment officer Wealth Management and 14 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley. They got like a gazillion dollars under management 15 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: two point for eight trillion to be more precise. Lisa, 16 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us on our Bloomberg Interactive 17 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: Broker studio. So how do you put yesterday in today 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: kind of in context? Because folks out there driving around 19 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: there saying, wow, yesterday was really ugly, but what's costing 20 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: today's bounce? Back. Yeah, So yesterday was very much about 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: out a classical global growth scare UH. And we get 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: these every now and then, UH, and they very often 23 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: lead to market sell offs. And you know, the idea, 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: UH is basically that UH, the nascent rebound that we 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: have potentially we're beginning to see might get curtailed by 26 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: the spread of coronavirus and and the idea that the 27 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: rebound that may have begun in China gets stalled. And 28 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: I think that that's really what the markets were obsessed 29 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: with yesterday. All that being said, when the dust settles 30 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: and the markets, UM, you know, sold off. I think 31 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: there are a lot of investors who believe, UH rightfully 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: that the US is disconnected in many ways from the 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: global economy is kind of UH in oasis. Only nine 34 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: percent of net GDP, of net trade UH is related 35 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: UH do DP is related to trade UH, And so 36 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: in many ways, the US is very much a domestic 37 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: oriented economy. And so you come into today UH with 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: ample liquidity UM still extraordinary sentiment and positioning people wanting 39 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: to be long this market. UH, and you get a 40 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: little piece of data that says the US consumer, which 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: is of the mix, is UM still feeling good. Uh, 42 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: and people are willing to say, yeah, we're gonna weather 43 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: this storm to yeah, this storm being a one point 44 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: six percent decline yesterday and today we're up almost a percent. 45 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: So uh, these these huge moves are are sort of 46 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: infantestable and historical perspective, But nowadays, I guess volatility has 47 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: been killed. But I am curious. Right now we're seeing uh, 48 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: financial conditions at all time the easiest ever based on 49 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: a Chicago FED and St. Louis FED measures coming out 50 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: in the past few weeks. Capex, though continuing to trend lower. 51 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: US GDP growth still only two percent. I'm trying to 52 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: square the idea of relatively slow ish growth, lack of 53 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: wage inflation, lack of capital expenditures on the part of companies, 54 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: with this incredibly strong job confidence and and just really 55 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: low jobless rates. What am I missing? These pieces don't 56 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: seem to go together. Yes, they don't. UM. And so 57 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: you know what we have very often said is, look, 58 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: the lack of inflation in the real economy UM has 59 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: completely shown up in financial asset markets. UM. We know 60 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: that for the past eleven years we've been in a 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: pretty profound bowl market UM where U s docks have 62 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: compounded at about four which is two times normal. UM. 63 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: We think a lot of the provision of FED liquidity, 64 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: and you noted financial conditions among the easiest they've ever been. UM. 65 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: That liquidity has found its way to financial assets UH 66 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: and been recycled not into fundamental capital spending and fundamental 67 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: capital formation, but into share repurchases and a return of 68 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: capital UH to UH to shareholders. So there's been the 69 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: huge wealth transfer UH and many of our clients and 70 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: certainly investors in the stock markets have benefited from that. 71 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: But that's where the inflation is UM. In the real economy. UH. 72 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: The real economy itself has really been struggling over this 73 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: last decade with UM reasonably weak UH working age population 74 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: growth UM and reasonably weak productivity growth UH. And so 75 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: we've kind of been bouncing around this two to three 76 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,239 Speaker 1: percent UH. And even though we have UM low unemployment UM, 77 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: we have not seen wage pressures UH. And so as 78 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: a result, UM, we haven't seen the classical capital for 79 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: labor substitution effects that you typically get UH end of cycle. 80 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: What we've seen is companies saying, hey, I can get 81 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: away with hiring people. I don't really pay them anything. 82 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't give them wage increases. UM. So I'll just 83 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'll hold them in there as long as 84 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: as the cycle holds up as good enough. And that's 85 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: what we've been this good enough. So I'm looking at 86 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: your tactical asset allocation UH, and the global equities underweight 87 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: the US but overweight emerging markets international. What's your thoughts 88 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: behind that? So look, our our thoughts there are really 89 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: around relative valuation. You know, we've been in at this 90 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 1: period as we talked about for the last eleven years 91 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: where US markets have profound the outperformed um the other regions, 92 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: and as a result, we have a very very strong 93 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: US dollar UM. So as we look at relative valuations today, UM, 94 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, we see the US and and really the 95 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: top decile of p ratios for the last hundred years, 96 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: it's it's getting to be an expensive market. UM. We 97 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: know that on an equity risk premium basis or adjusted 98 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: for low interest rates, you know, evaluations are not yet extreme. 99 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: But in terms of nominal ps UM, the US market 100 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: is really um, you know, getting expensive at at nine 101 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: times at nineteen times forward. So our view is that 102 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: as we look into t any the improvement in global 103 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: growth that we thought was going to come both cyclically 104 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: and from the trade deal. Really we think has the 105 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: highest beta outside the US. We just talked about the 106 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: fact that the US is kind of an isolated economy. Um, well, 107 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: you can't have it both ways. You can't say, oh, 108 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: global growth and global trade are gonna pick up and 109 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: the US is gonna benefit. Um when you just said, hey, 110 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: you know, the US is its own um story. So, Um, 111 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: we have favored non US markets this year basically believing 112 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: that there's more operating leverage and better valuations. How long 113 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: can this disconnect continue where the inflation really is in 114 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: assets and not in the real economy. Um. So I 115 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: think we're starting to approach, um, the point of pain, 116 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: and and that's where you know, valuations start um, you know, 117 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: begging uh um, you know belief uh and and our 118 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: senses were starting to see examples of that. Um. We 119 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: think you know that the history books are gonna reflect um, 120 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: you know that we work debacle as maybe you know 121 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: an example of valuations becoming disconnected. And certainly a lot 122 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: of folks have said, oh no, no, no, that's just 123 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: an idiosyncratic situation. But we see examples of it, whether 124 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: we're looking at um valuations in VC or we're looking 125 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: at valuations some of the valuations that are being paid 126 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: in the private equity markets, etcetera. That's fascinating. This is 127 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: really really interesting, Lisa Chellette, thank you. Apple shares up 128 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: more than two percent ahead of reporting earnings after the 129 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: bell today. A lot of questions about just how robust 130 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: their growth has been, whether it can justify the tremendous 131 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: rally that we saw last year and some of the 132 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: estimates that analysts have across Wall Street. But I want 133 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: to turn our focus to what actually is going on 134 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: right now and help us do that. As John Butler, 135 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Senior tell Services and Equipment analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, and 136 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,679 Speaker 1: that is the effect of the coronavirus on its supply chain, 137 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: which may or may not be in the front and 138 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: center today as the report earnings. But you think it 139 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: could be potentially substantial, right I do. I want to 140 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: stress I view it sort of as a near term risk. 141 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: So Bloomberg did a great piece last night on m 142 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: Live blog where they talked about epidemics and the typical 143 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: bell curve that goes with that. So uh from beginning 144 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: to peak, it's typically ten weeks, call it two and 145 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: a half months, and that's sort of the before the 146 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: number of cases begins to decline. And so my thought 147 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: in reading that was that that's the risk, that's the 148 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: window where Beijing could remain proactive about closing down factories, 149 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: restricting travel and in general doing the right thing, but 150 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: putting measures in place that could threaten the Apple supply chain. 151 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: So looking ahead to the coming year for Apple, they 152 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: reportedly are set to launch a lower cost replacement to 153 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: the old iPhone. See if you remember that, So it's 154 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: a lower cost iPhone sort of positioned at the high 155 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: end of the mid price market, which is a big segment. 156 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: But if you're gonna launch that in March, you got 157 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: to start building it in February at the latest. So 158 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: in my mind, that sets up a near term risk 159 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: for them. It could lead to a push out of 160 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: the introduction of that phone, and god, if this whole 161 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: scenario plays out longer than that ten week peak, then 162 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: ultimately it could may even threaten the September refresh, although 163 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: to be clear, I don't see that happening. Um. I 164 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: think this whole scenario with coronavirus is probably going to 165 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: play out over a typical bell curve. So John is, 166 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: as Apple or any other technology companies that have a 167 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: big president in China, they talked about any supply chain disruptions. 168 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: They have not, and so I think a lot of 169 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: people are going to be coming into tonight's Apple report 170 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: and the earnings call anxious to hear something. I would 171 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: be amazed if they didn't address it already in China. 172 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: If you look at the retail store base, they have 173 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: limited the number of hours those stores are open across 174 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: all of China. So clearly it's on Apple's mind and 175 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: they're already taking measures to address the the thread of 176 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: this virus. All right, So let's get to the big, 177 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: the big kuna here, which is the earnings, right, the 178 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: first two trillion dollar company, right. Yeah, it's interesting they're 179 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: set up for this great year. You know, the iPhone tennis, 180 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: which sold throughout last year, did not really resonate well 181 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: with people, and every quarter last year they booked to 182 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: a double digit decline in iPhone sales. So we have 183 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: very low hurdle set up for this year. Every quarter 184 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: this year, and the iPhone eleven that they introduced in 185 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: September last year has done really well, um by any measure. 186 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: You know, we're hearing from third party researchers as well 187 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: as the tech community. Uh, just in general. I'm seeing 188 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: a lot of it out there, a lot of iPhone 189 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: elevens in in people's hands. What I think they got 190 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: so right is they introduced a new camera system. So 191 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: you've got sort of a hit on your hands, some 192 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: new devices coming to market and a lot of selfies. 193 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: He likes the filters, he likes the multiple cameras. I 194 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: looked at Tom Keene. Tom Keine posts some amazing photos 195 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: on Twitter from his phone eleven, so he's really been efficient. 196 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: I just point and pushed a little point. He spends 197 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: He spends entire radio segments filming said videos. You know, 198 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: it is interesting though, and it's just the idea of 199 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: phone camera. I mean, that's essentially what's happening. Cameras have 200 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: become digital digital. I'm sorry, today's smartphones are digital cameras 201 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: with a phone app basically, and so the phone is 202 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: honestly no all kidding aside is it's the most important 203 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: feature on any smartphone. And I really think Apple did 204 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: a lights out job with the iPhone eleven. And they 205 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: lowered the starting price by fifty dollars. So it just 206 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: has done very well and I think we're gonna hear 207 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: that tonight and it sets them up for a great 208 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: year where you have this low bar set from how 209 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: we performance. How important is that five G story to Apple? 210 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: A lot of bulls are out there saying this is 211 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: the next major refresh cycle. I think I think they're right, 212 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: but I think it's going to play out over a 213 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: longer period of time than they think. People don't upgrade 214 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: immediately to the new technology, so if you look at 215 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: four G, it was sort of a multi year ramp 216 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: to the point where sat uh not saturation penetration levels 217 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: in the US we're really meaningful. So I think we'll 218 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: see the same thing happened this year, where we have 219 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 1: a decent year of early adopters. The iPhone five G 220 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: coming out in September, I think is going to be 221 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: a popular device, but it will take a couple of 222 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: years to really get out there, so to speak. I 223 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: feel like sociologists are going to look at this period 224 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: of time where it's no longer about the conversation, it's 225 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: just about how you look. I mean, honestly, I do 226 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: think that this is going to be a transformation that people, 227 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, just want to see themselves others, but they 228 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: don't actually want to have and conversations have gone to 229 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: texting yes for the most guilty. By the way, John Butler, 230 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. John Butler, Senior Telecom 231 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: Services and Equipment Annals also is the ace on Apple 232 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: for Bloomberg Intelligence. There is a big question right now 233 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: as US equity is rebound after yesterday sell off, how 234 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: will China's market respond in the wake of the closure 235 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: of the Wuhan City How how big it is it 236 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: accounts for one point six percent of the total GDP 237 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: of China, as well as the potential ramifications for JN 238 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: paying the president of the country. Christopher Balton joining us 239 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: now Associate professor at Fullbright University, Vietnam. Also a Bloomberg 240 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: Opinion columnist, joining us from Saigon in Vietnam. Christopher, can 241 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: you give us just a sense, uh, first of all, 242 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: just what the response has been like on the ground 243 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: where you are right now. Um, what we're basically seeing 244 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: is is that even though it's a typically busy time 245 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: when people are out in restaurants with families, enjoying Chinese 246 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: New Year. What we're really seeing is people saying indoors 247 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: and ordering lots of food and grocery. We're actually seeing 248 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: reports of heavy buying in in grocery stores UM, and 249 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: cities working to make sure that they can guarantee residents 250 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: that they continue to have enough food. People are stocking up, 251 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: But we're not seeing panic buying from from the people 252 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: I've been talking to. So it seems that even though 253 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: the impact on the economy is basically going to be 254 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: even though people might not be eating at restaurants, they 255 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: seem to be making sure that they're getting a lot 256 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: of food UH and doing a lot of online shopping elsewhere. So, Christopher, 257 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: how important is it for presidents she here to get 258 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, to handle this successfully, to get it out 259 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: in front of it? What's the risk for President g 260 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: with the coronavirus there, there's a lot of risk. And 261 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: it's it's it's no coincidence that that President Lee was 262 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: actually appointed to lead the working group on on this 263 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: issue primarily because it's it's she is does not want 264 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: to be seen as as in charge of this UH debacle. UM. 265 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: And I think what you're seeing inside of China right now, 266 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: and everything that that you're hearing is is that there's 267 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: deep frustration at the level of competence in handling and 268 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: really getting out and addressing this um. There was a 269 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: there was a something that's gone viral on Leach had 270 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: a very important event where the mayor of Wuhan is 271 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: holding this UH press conference and he's talking about their 272 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: their capacity to to make face masks, and he starts 273 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: off saying, well, we can make one point eight billion, 274 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: and then it's like, no, it's it's one point uh. 275 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: It's it's one point zero eight, and then it's uh, 276 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: and then it goes to an even lower number. And 277 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: so I think there's this sense among the Chinese public 278 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: that that their their government is not nearly as competent, 279 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of very deep frustration of the 280 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: government because over the years they have a a history 281 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: of not handling public health crisis well. And so there's 282 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: kind of this mounting frustration going to connect the idea 283 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: that in the US and elsewhere there seems to be 284 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: a complacency about China's response, and there's been kind of 285 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: a theme where people say, well, it's so much better 286 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: than two thousand three when Stars was spreading this seems 287 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: to actually be proactive. Where where well can you explain 288 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: that disconnect? Well, it's it's difficult to say because you 289 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: get so many conflicting responses about what the actual nature 290 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: of preparedness and China's ability to act. They're clearly acting, 291 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean that they're acting well in in 292 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: solving the problem. Um, you know, there's there's videos that 293 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: and and I want to emphasize videos that you see 294 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: on things like we chat or or other social media platforms. 295 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: We don't always know how accurate they are, so it's 296 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: difficult to say, well, are are they acting? You know, 297 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: there's this there's this video of there's China has made 298 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: a great fanfare that they're building a new hospital. Well, 299 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: these types of the construction form that they're using is 300 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: basically a type of reinforced heavy duty plastic cardboard. Uh, 301 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: and they use these on Chinese construction sites. And so 302 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: it's not really like a quality construction. There's not gonna 303 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: be air filtering and sanitation standards and things like that. 304 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: But they've clearly gone to the trouble of building something 305 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: that they can put people in. So it's very very 306 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: difficult to disentangle what is actually helping uh with regards 307 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: to what China is doing and what is just action 308 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: for the sake of appearing busy. Christopher, is it worthwhile 309 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: making the analogy two stars as it relates to the 310 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: potential impact on the Chinese economy which was material at 311 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: the time? Um, I think it's still in a way 312 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: very early, too early to to say with with significance. 313 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: I think the first crack that we've really seen in 314 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: how big an impact it's going to have on the 315 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: economy is China has announced that they're actually pushing back 316 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: the return to return to work date by one week. 317 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: At the moment, um, I wouldn't be surprised if that 318 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: flips another week or two. Um So, I think it's 319 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: still really too early to just start making solid comparisons 320 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: to stars or really anything else, because this is just 321 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: so unprecedented at the moment. There's also an idea that 322 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: Wuhana is a very big city, but it only accounts 323 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: for one point six percent of China's entire GDP. Is 324 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: the potential impact on the economy much greater Based on 325 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: Wuhan's rule in terms of a node of transportation and 326 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: manufacturing and a part of supply chains of companies both 327 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: locally and internationally. Yes, absolutely, it's it's it's kind of 328 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: like right in the middle in the center of China. 329 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: It's it's a big rail hub, lots of manufacturing. And 330 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: so what you've really seen is you've seen these you know, 331 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: as people leave. And so when when this happened, right 332 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: as people were leaving for Chinese New Year and so on, 333 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: on some days, there were estimates that more than a 334 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: million people we're leaving the city of Wuhan in a 335 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: specific day. And if you've ever been in a city, 336 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: a major Chinese city during Chinese New Year, you can 337 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: have these cities that you know, of a fifteen million 338 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: people that will literally you know, fifty in the population 339 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: will leave. Um. That that's not that's not a crazy number. 340 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: And imagine if Manhattan was suddenly fifty smaller by population 341 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: um and dispersed all over the Eastern seaboard. That's kind 342 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: of what we're talking about with Wuhan. And so all 343 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the risk that that virus gets transported 344 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: all over the Eastern Seaboard, or in this case, all 345 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 1: over China is much much greater and a very real possibility. Christopher, 346 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: you're on the ground in Saigon in Vietnam right now. 347 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: What's the feeling there. Um, there's absolutely lots of precautions 348 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: being taken. I was actually at a health facility today 349 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: on an on an unrelated matter, UM, and they had 350 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: actually set up a tent outside of the facility where 351 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: they were checking people. Everybody was given a mask and 352 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: it was mandatory. UM. There was of course all types 353 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: of all nature of sanitation available to people around. UM. 354 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: They're absolutely tracking uh, any travelers that have been to 355 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: China recently. UM. It's absolutely a lot of concern, but 356 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: I think they're they're absolutely on top of things and 357 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: tracking people that need to be tracked. Christopher Balding, thanks 358 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: so much for that on the ground UH commentary. We 359 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: really appreciated. Chris Balding, Associate Professor Fulbright University in Saigon, Vietnam. 360 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: He's also Bloomberg Opinion Commism. Let's take a look at 361 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: the coronavirus and how it relates to the global energy markets. 362 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: We saw let's sell off in oil over the last 363 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: several sessions and really off from the peak of early January. 364 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: Here w T I today just to quote that that's 365 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: actually staging a little bit of a rebound today up 366 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: about one per cent. Do you get a sense of 367 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: kind of global oil markets and the driver's on the 368 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: supply and demand side. We welcome John killed Off, founding 369 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: partner of Again Capital. So, John, how are you thinking 370 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: about global oil markets given some of these issues as 371 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: it relates to the coronavirus as well as some other 372 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: geopolitical issues globally, well on the demand side of the 373 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: equation right now, there's just a tremendous fragility as a 374 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: result of this outbreak of the coronavirus. UM. You know, 375 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: a lot of us were dusting off the charts from 376 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: two thousand three when the stars epidemic hit and oil 377 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: took quite a hit. Then oil prices were basically just 378 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: about cut in half UM from about thirty eight dollars 379 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: a barrel danto almost five, So quite a bit of 380 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: a sell off because you know, when I talk to 381 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: you guys about the price dynamic, it's always Asia, Asia, 382 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: Asia and China in particular. UM. You know, there was 383 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: had been some hope that they were getting back on 384 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: their feed economically after the at least the partial resolution 385 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: of the U S. China trade war and now this 386 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: hits and it's just uh, you know, skewing the demand 387 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: growth back to down to flat, if not down on 388 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: the year, because this is still early days. If you 389 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: ask me, I don't quite understand the rush to say 390 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: the oil clear has been sounded. Here what we're seeing 391 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: in the stock market today and and even oil to 392 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: a degree, We've got a long way to go on this, 393 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: you know, I want to pick up on that, because 394 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: we are seeing a rally in equities almost completely erasing 395 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: yesterday's declines at this point if it continues throughout the day. 396 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: But oil it's just flat, I mean essentially, I mean 397 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: it's it's a little up. We're not seeing that big 398 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: of a price gain. What's going to tip the scales 399 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: one way another? It's one percent, but still after losing 400 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: what more than ten dollars in the past month. This 401 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: is this is not um massive what will tip the 402 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: scales one way or another in order to determine whether 403 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: there's another substantial like lower the price of oil. Yeah, 404 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 1: and then at least, if you think about it, we've 405 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: actually retraced or so of the of the gains from 406 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: the October lows. That got it that we saw, we 407 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: got as high as sixty dollars on the on the 408 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: most intense ran fears. Um, what's going to tip us 409 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: to the downside here is if it is that we 410 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: don't get another further response out of OPEC and Russia. Uh. 411 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: They were already been on the wires that this has 412 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: gotten their attention. I can tell you that they've been 413 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: talking about it already about potentially extending their current deal 414 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: to June. At least they're gonna have to go longer 415 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: than that, and they're gonna have to cut more if 416 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: they want to support this price. The big line in 417 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: the stand, the first line of the stand here and 418 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: we saw it yesterday get tested was down around was below, 419 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: but really fifty dollars if you go back several years, 420 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: that has been the number that has held up. Um. 421 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: There's a tendency to think it will hold up again 422 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: because you will get a response from some of the producers. 423 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: But if we break that, then you're you're looking at 424 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: significant uh more downside to the low forties uh in 425 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: pretty rapid fashion. So, Jeff, what's the thinking as it 426 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: relates to OPEC and it relates to the supply side 427 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: of the equation, is there a growing determination to support 428 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: global oil prices or we just don't have that coordination 429 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: in than opaque and OPEC. Plus you know, it's it's 430 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: aspirational on their part. I can tell you that, particularly 431 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: Saudi's who you know, you finally got that a ramco 432 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: I p O out the door. They've been watching that 433 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: stock price come down as the price of oil comes down. 434 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: So I just want to remind people if you're looking 435 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: to buy into that at some point or in some shape, way, 436 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 1: shape or form, you've got tremendous exposure to the crude commodity, 437 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: So be careful with that. There's no silver bullet there 438 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: with that company. And um so they're they're gonna try. 439 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: I mean that they were on the wires all weekend, 440 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: uh making noise about about addressing this this slide, and 441 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: even actually by chastising the analyst community for being overreactive 442 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: and too aggressive on the on the on the demand 443 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: outlook cuts, which which is impacting the price. So I 444 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: thought that was an interesting thing on their part that 445 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: shows you how and engage they are with the price 446 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: of the commodity these days. So, but there's a sense 447 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: in the market that it's just beyond their grasp. There's 448 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: too much US soil, there's too much US exports, and 449 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: is even moril coming on from different spots that's also 450 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: helping to keep these global markets rather well supplied. John Kilduff, 451 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: thank you so much for the perspective.
