1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane, along 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferrell and Lisa Brownwitz Jailey. We bring you 3 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations. 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcast, Suncloud, Bloomberg dot Com, 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: and of course, on the Bloomberg terminal. Claudia sam is 6 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: a jewel. She's out on Twitter creating a firestorm each 7 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 1: and every day. A Bloomberg opinion columnist, she is fearless 8 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: about what's in the textbooks and what we're doing right 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: now that is not in the textbooks. Claudia, the question 10 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: the Twitter verse wants to know, are we practicing monetary 11 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: a modern monetary theory. That's not the way that I 12 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: would describe it. I think, honestly, as you put it, 13 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: the textbooks haven't been written. I mean, we really are 14 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: are trying to figure this out. We are living both 15 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: a sea change in monetary policy. We have a new 16 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: federal reserve framework that is frankly being tested as we speak, 17 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: and we've seen fiscal policy in fits and starts really 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: shift in terms of putting support into the economy. You 19 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: put those two things together, this is not a constellation 20 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: that we've seen before, and the ink is not dry 21 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: on it either, So this is a very fluid moment. 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: There's a lot to be proud of with this. I mean, 23 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: we have a recovery that is just so much better 24 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: and faster than last time. Help me were the word 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: measured and maybe a Bank of England that was many measured. 26 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: Arthur Burns used to make big moves. When he made 27 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,639 Speaker 1: a move, he's smoking the pipe and the pipe smoke 28 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: coming up and everybody interpreting what the spipe smoke Man 29 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: Greenspan invented measured? Are we measured now in our movements 30 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: or potential movements? I think the big change for the 31 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve right now is that their communication policy has 32 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: become so much stronger. Given the interest rates are a 33 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: lot lower than they were in either of those two 34 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: past uh FED FED times, so they have I don't 35 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: think the word measured is what they're thinking of. Is 36 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: that no surprise, right? We have watched them do so 37 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: much messaging and that you don't want to do big 38 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: moves unless you have to. We know from March the 39 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: Fed is more than willing to just move when it 40 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: needs to. But at a moment like this, they want 41 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: to bring everybody along. J p How spends a lot 42 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: of time trying to explain to us what they're thinking 43 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: and where their head is. Claudia, how much are you 44 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: taking a signal from the pact that J. Powell is 45 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 1: reiterating some of the economists who are decrying the inflationary 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: push that we're seeing is something that you have to address, 47 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: versus the bond market, which is saying it's not a problem. Well, 48 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: this also goes very much to the communication we need 49 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: and we need to believe that we have a FED 50 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: that is awake at the wheel, and they absolutely are. 51 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: But it is important that they address some of those 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: individuals and say, hey, like we are watching this, we 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: see it, and we are deeply concerned. I worked at 54 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: the FED for over a decade. They are always deeply 55 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: concerned about inflation. That's what the central Bank is there 56 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: in part to do. I think they've just been so 57 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: much more explicit and trying to help the outside world 58 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: understand the risk and the risk have been shifting, right. 59 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: It is absolutely appropriate how their communication and what they're 60 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: telling us has moved over time. The world is moving, 61 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: but Claudia how much is this a shift in perception 62 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: and a shift in ideas at the Federal Reserve? How 63 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: much is this something more political? There have been some 64 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: massive pivots done by FED Chair J. Powell, the fact 65 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: that he thought that it was appropriate to keep the 66 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: bond purchases where they were, that the tapering where was 67 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: where it was, and suddenly we're doubling it and talking 68 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: about how everything looks very hot the labor market. We 69 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: want to get to full participation. We want to see 70 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: the labor market participation rate go up. Now we don't 71 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: even know what that means. It's not going to be 72 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: the same economy. This is a vastly different FED Chair J. 73 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: Powell to what we heard. Do you read something different 74 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: into this? Right? So? I think this question is interesting 75 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: about the politics. I actually wrote my sub stack post 76 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: right before the meeting on this question because I was 77 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: I found it interesting that this has some creeds in 78 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: in some circles. The FED is is a politically independent 79 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: in its policy decisions. It's in Washington, d C. Politics 80 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: are there, and it it has gotten pulled into some 81 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: of these very complicated issues about especially in labor markets, 82 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: like how inclusive and the diversity, and it's tough. But 83 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: the thing is, and I really do believe that the 84 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: decisions they are making are being driven by what's happening 85 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: in the economy, and unfortunately, the FED is setting up 86 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: for this tough trade off between inflation is staying high, 87 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: we need to get that back down and we want 88 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: to get every worker back to work, so they are 89 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: going to face this trade off. Frankly, they haven't done 90 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: a great job of explain and how that works in 91 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: the new framework. But I don't they're pushed around by politics. 92 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: Politics plays them as I'm sure we'll see what the 93 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: next set of the appointments, but I don't think that's 94 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: what's driving what Jay is doing in the FED. Talk 95 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: to us clowly and quickly about where the importance of 96 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: an inclusive labor market dominates for the next month or so. 97 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: Because for now we seem to not worry the black 98 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: unemployment is still at seven percent, whereas general unemployment is 99 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: at about four We put more of a focus on 100 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: price stability, helping particularly the lower income parts of the 101 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: industry and indeed of the labor market. Right, I think 102 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: it's right to be focused on next year, but it's 103 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: important we step back, look at what the inflation numbers 104 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: are not right now, and the FED funds rate is 105 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: still at zero. Like, this is a FED that is 106 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: incredibly focused on both sides of their dual mandate in 107 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: a way that we would not have seen even a 108 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: few years ago. So what does that mean in terms 109 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: of being inclusive and the broad based. I think this 110 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: is a big discussion, and it came up on Wednesday, 111 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: is of the people who left the labor force, who 112 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: is coming back and how quickly can they come back? Right? 113 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: And I that's going to I think be the big 114 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: debate going into next year. Claudia, I'm depressed when it 115 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: came out thirty two years ago. I read every word 116 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: of Heile Broner and Bernstein The Debt and the Deficit. 117 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: I must have sold Peter Bernstein thirty copies of that book, 118 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: where I just said to people, shut up and read 119 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: this so we don't panic. Douglas cast a wonderful trade 120 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: of this morning, and investor asked you about modern fiscal 121 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: theory from your monetary view, back to the classic book 122 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: by Hile Bronner and Bernstein. What is our modern fiscal theory? Yeah, 123 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: well so I wish I had that answer for you. 124 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: I think right now it's it's the we're I mean, 125 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk so much about the FED, but when 126 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: we look out years to come, what's happening in Congress 127 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: right now is where the debate should be. And I 128 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: worry that when we get like there's the models and 129 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: exactly how much dead and what can we spend, it 130 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: gets past the we move past the well what are 131 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: we trying to accomplish? What types of investments are we 132 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: trying to make in our infrastructure and our people in 133 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: our planet, and that in the end of the day, 134 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: those discussions are going to loose so much larger, and 135 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: I worried that that theory is going to be written 136 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: after the fact. Claudius brilliant, Thank you so much with 137 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: the Jane Family Institute on the equity markets and on 138 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: joins us now from Wells Fargo, always wonderful, particularly on 139 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: the dynamics that she observes within the markets. You've got 140 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,559 Speaker 1: a single sense and I'm not going to mince words 141 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: about it. You say high quality is where to be. 142 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: We're hearing that from Wells Fargo. We're hearing that from 143 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: Goldman Sachs others disagree. What is the risk of acquiring 144 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: low quality shares? Well? As we get more lane into 145 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: the cycle that textbook fundamentals. As you see credit liquidity decrease, 146 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: you see monetary accommodation decrease. This was pressure on the 147 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: funding markets. And we've seen time and again that equity 148 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: volatility is tied to credit and rate volatility. So as 149 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: you see credit spreads winding, we expect more equity volatility. 150 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: And those are the kind of situations where we're not 151 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: particularly fully risked off here, but we need a little 152 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: more protection and we like it in the form of 153 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: high quality. So we would reduce our exposure to the 154 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: very high leveled companies look for a little wider profit margins, 155 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: a little harder higher r o s in that kind 156 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: of scenario. So Anna, does that just mean to go 157 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: into big tech? Actually, I would shy a little away 158 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: from certain parts of the tech market there, but we 159 00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: are still a proponent of Here is cyclicality, and right now, 160 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: as you get with yields rising, you get monetary comedies 161 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: coming off. We've seen what happens to the very high 162 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: flyer growth at any price kind of sectors. They're in 163 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: a little bit in trouble, and we think that kind 164 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: of volatility or that could back isn't over yet. So 165 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: rather than just pour into tech as a whole, I 166 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: think you look market across, look broadly, and look for 167 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: somewhere where we can get high quality but at the 168 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: right price. This is important, especially because a lot of 169 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: people cheered after the Fed's hawkish tills and the market's response, 170 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: which was it's all good copasetic keep on partying. And 171 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: then yesterday we saw the NASAC in particular and big 172 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: tech stocks tumble. Is that more of what's to come? 173 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: Is that a signal of what we can expect in 174 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: terms of an even potential correction in big tech? Well, 175 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: I think none of us really want to leave the 176 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: party too soon. We don't want to miss out. But 177 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: at the same time, we are realizing that some parts 178 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: of tech how run very hot. And in that scenario, 179 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: as you start thinking about what's going to happen next 180 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: year as potential for us, we're projecting multiple multiple compression. 181 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: You want to look at what really has run hot 182 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: and maybe take them off the table here. So you 183 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: may be seeing a little bout those dynamics. And again, 184 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: even though we're coming from a place of very liquid 185 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: markets and a lot of accommodation. The directional change and 186 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: the pull forward in the taper schedule and the potential 187 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: rate HeiG schedule. This is a velocity change here we're seeing, 188 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: and that's really what the market is digesting. And I 189 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: don't want to put strategists versus strategists, but I'm reading 190 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: the note of course, and Bank of America's chief invessel strategist, 191 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: Michael Horton, that's saying he still is remaining bearish until 192 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: we get full blown capitulation in the market. Here's risk 193 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: of us. And I'm interested in your perspective as to 194 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: what makes you feel that market should still go into 195 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: equities at this point. Where is market sentiment, where is 196 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: positioning out From your perspective, Well, it's interesting we have 197 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: actually seen capitulation in some parts of the equity market. 198 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: Earlier this year. You saw that investors reduced China exposure. 199 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: That was two women sh of a painful thing for 200 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: portfolio managers throughout the year, and that was reduced. You 201 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: also saw that there was a lot of crowding of 202 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: some of the tech favorites, and some of that is 203 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: being washed out here one of the reasons why we've 204 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: seen so much pressure on the tech parts of the market. 205 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: But going forward, we don't think it's time to give 206 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: up on equities as a whole, because we still think 207 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: that there is a game to be played in cyclical 208 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,119 Speaker 1: parts of the market. But that's why we're actually barbelling 209 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: that with quality here. We're not saying risk on, but 210 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: we're not heading for the hills either. How do you 211 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: find I'm sorry, Caroline, excuse me, I'm sorry, Caroline, go ahead. 212 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: Oh no, thank you, Tom, such a gentleman. I'm interested in. 213 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: I know your perspective on does the US remain the 214 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: only game in town? Do you still see US equities 215 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: outfull in the likes of Europe? The Europe has a 216 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: little bit more value to it. Well, in the near term, 217 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: we like the US because we have a little more 218 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: clarity on it. But will be very important next year 219 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: is where different nations are in their tightening cycle, because 220 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: as you start to see sort of divergence or different 221 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: timing on when people are hiking versus when that accommodation 222 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: is coming off, that's going to also have a big 223 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: impact not just on equities, but really the Underlyer here, 224 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: which is the currency markets. So these are the kind 225 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: of things we need to consider going into next year. 226 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: And there may be more opportunities that open up later 227 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: in the back half of depending where we are in 228 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: our tightening cycle. Anna, thank you so much, Anahan with 229 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: a start today with Wells Fargo. Greatly appreciate that. Right 230 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: now if you get a three hour discussion with Andrew 231 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: Peckha she's professor in viiologists at Johns Hopkins with professor Breyer, 232 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: and we got eight ways to go here Andrew, But 233 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: I want to go to the cold heart reality that 234 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: the President of the United States knows and that the 235 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: United States has a vaccination rate published out at and 236 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: a nation is beleaguered as Italy has a vaccination rate 237 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: out at. How far behind is the look that we 238 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 1: seem to be very far behind? Well, you know, we 239 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: we were one of the first countries to roll out 240 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: vaccines UH in mass and it seems like ever since 241 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: we started to row out the vaccines, we've fallen behind 242 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: other countries that are able to not only more effectively 243 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: do it, but also convinced their population about the benefits 244 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: of vaccination um in many different ways. And I think 245 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: that as we moved through these variants, we saw this 246 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: with Alpha, we're now we saw with Delta, and now 247 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: we're seeing all of the signs with all macron of 248 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: the same thing, which is, these viruses are moving through 249 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: the population. Vaccines are protecting us from severe disease, but 250 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: it's the unvaccinated population that's really going to be the 251 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: population that's going to put us stress onto our healthcare 252 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: system because these viruses are spreading incredibly efficiently and they're 253 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: gonna find unvaccinated people in the disease and unvac stated people. 254 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: Is yet to be really determined how virulent this virus is. 255 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: Dr package the uptick in cases that we're seeing in 256 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: New York City in particular, or is that the O 257 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: Macron wave actually happening here? Really difficult to differentiate between 258 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: what's happening with the Delta surge, which certainly was going 259 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: on across many parts of the US just after Thanksgiving, 260 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: and what A macron is doing. Are sequencing efforts here 261 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: in the US lag behind a little bit the efforts 262 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: that are going on in the UK and South Africa, 263 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: So we're not hearing about the O Macron cases as 264 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: quickly as we should. It's quite possible that um the 265 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: surges that we're seeing now are contributed to buy all Macron, 266 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: because the data coming out of Europe is showing this 267 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: virus is at least as good as Delta, if not 268 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: better than Delta at transmissent transmitting in populations that have 269 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: some immunity. Even how important DR package is a psychological 270 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: impact of a lot of people who got vaccinated. They 271 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: did exactly what they thought that they should do, and 272 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: they're still getting sick. Everybody know somebody like that. As 273 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: this O Macron variant starts to spread, how much does 274 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: that discourage people from both getting vaccinated and from listening 275 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: to health officials by saying you'll be protected if you 276 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: just take these measures. Yeah, it's important to get the 277 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: message of primarily protection from severe disease is what we're 278 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: seeing these vaccines doing quite well, and that is actually 279 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: held true even with Alpha, even with Delta, and now 280 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: with O Macron as well too. So I think the 281 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: realistic expectation for people is that COVID ncteen is looking 282 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: more and more like seasonal influenza. The vaccines are going 283 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: to prevent some level of infection, but not all, but 284 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: they're going to make a really big dent in terms 285 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: of the severe disease and that is probably where six 286 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: months a year from now we're going to really be 287 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: settling in in terms of managing this disease. Vaccines will 288 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: limit cases and disease severity, will have treatments like anti 289 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: virals that also will limit to base disease severity, and 290 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: we'll be dealing with this as a virus similar to influenza. 291 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: We're not at that place yet, but that's where we 292 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: will be in a few months. And there is an 293 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: element though, in the here and the now that we've 294 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: heard from Chris Witty, the Chief Medical Officer of England, 295 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: about the worry that eventually hospitalizations might well run much 296 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: higher than they have done previously because we're about to 297 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: come together as families, because once again we're exhausted from 298 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: the mental strain of all of this. We want to 299 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: be together. We're going to put the most vulnerable at risk. Meanwhile, 300 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: the US very much standing might stance and they want 301 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: to see families together for the festive period. What do 302 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: you make of that risk at the moment, Well, there 303 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: is a way to manage this risk. It does take engagement, 304 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: and it does take effort. Testing is an important part 305 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: of this. The rapid testing and some and other forms 306 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: of testing like saliva testing are really good methods to 307 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: make to keep monitoring for infections. UM making sure that 308 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: that you understand your gatherings and your workplaces and maintain 309 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: some level of social distancing there is also important. There 310 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: are ways to manage the risks of transmission right now. 311 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: But what's important to note is more cases will equal 312 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: more hospitalizations, and so we have to really make an 313 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: effort to limit cases because irrespective of whether O macron 314 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: is more or less virulent than delta, if it causes 315 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: more cases than delta, it will cause more severe cases 316 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: than delta. Talk to me quickly about why I can 317 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: walk into a library, into a pharmacy anywhere in the 318 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: UK and get a lateral flow test and in fact 319 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: have many ahead of the Christmas period to be able 320 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,959 Speaker 1: to ensure that we're remaining safe. But is it right 321 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: that it feels much harder to do that in the 322 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: United States? And what reason is that it is most 323 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: definitely harder to do that in the United States. I 324 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: think there wasn't an emphasis early on about using these 325 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: at home tests, and it wasn't a real understanding of 326 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: how to use these at home tests effectively. UM other 327 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: countries have moved forward with that and are able to 328 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: use these tests effectively. I think we're starting to learn 329 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: that here in the US. But now it's becomes basically 330 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: a supply and demand a problem. Now people are trying 331 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: to get these these tests here, but we simply don't 332 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: have the supply to meet the demand that's here right now. 333 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: I assume that will change with some of the pandemic 334 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: plans at President Biden's administrators is putting forward, but for 335 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: the short term, people are really desperate for these tests 336 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: and not being able to get them in many parts 337 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: of the United States. Dr Pickoff, thank you so much. 338 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: If I don't speak to you before the end of 339 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: the year. Thank you for your support and your education 340 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: of all of us on radio and television worldwide. Here 341 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: is with JOHNS. Hopkins at University hallne Becker once again 342 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: our senior research channelists at Cowen working with Chivan Rumor, 343 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: the airline franchise. AC Cowen has been globally respected for decades. 344 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: We're thrilled that Ms Becker could join us this morning. 345 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: Helena I want to get away from the store aries 346 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: and the Yanks to the moment and do sell side 347 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: one oh one. Your single best buy right now is 348 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: United Airlines. They are down nineteen percent a years since 349 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: Valentine's Day of two thousand and twenty. Why when the 350 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: airlines get off the mat, is United going to be 351 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: the winner? Yeah, that's a good question. Thanks, and thanks 352 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: for having me, tom So. Our view on United is 353 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: that they're leveraged to international and their leverage to corporate. 354 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: About half their revenue comes from international roots and the 355 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: other half from domestic um. And what we're seeing two 356 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: things and and actually Delta seeing this too, and and 357 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: we could easily have gone with Delta although they're less 358 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: less exposed to international um. The key element is that 359 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: UH consumers are buying up into premium economy or into 360 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: premium seats because the price points between the two have narrowed, 361 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: and people find that they like having that little extra 362 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: room or a little extra comfort in the front of 363 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: the cabin. They get extra miles um with the more 364 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: expensive tickets, and they which I think is important to 365 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: people right because they work towards free tickets and upgrades 366 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: faster UM. But with United. They're adding a lot of 367 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: service this summer, especially into leisure international destinations, places that 368 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: have never really had UM international NonStop service from from 369 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: the US, like Palma, New yorka Bergen in Norway. Let 370 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: me ask you a points guy question, because the points guy, 371 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly worships at the altar of Elaine Becker. Are 372 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: miles gonna matter? Are miles gonna matter after the pandemic? Yes, 373 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: I think so, I think, And I think that's why 374 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: you seek hard usage increasing and card acquisition increasing. One 375 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: of the things that United said on their last confidence 376 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: called on Delta said yesterday on Investor Day, was that 377 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: they're seeing increases in the number of cards that are 378 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: being issued. And I think it's a combination of millennials, 379 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: UM who weren't supposed to own anything and now own 380 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: stuff and and have kind of bought all the things 381 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: that they need to buy. So we're probably going to 382 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: see an increase in service spend UM once the pandemic 383 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: becomes endemic, which we also think is going to happen, 384 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: you know, sometime in the first or second quarter of 385 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: next year, UM or at least people will realize it, 386 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: and then I think we're gonna see more people travel. 387 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: And of course, if you spend on the card um 388 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: to buy your things, right, if you're buying clothing to 389 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: go back to the office, or you're buying washing machines 390 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: or dryers to you know, replace broken ones, or just 391 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: or to get out your house, um, then I think 392 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: you you are going to want those miles so that 393 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: you can earn free trips quicker. In the meantime, Helene, 394 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: we still are dealing with O Macron, which a lot 395 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: of people are saying has not fully been priced in. 396 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: What's your view when you take a look at United 397 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: and Delta h and an American air that have lost 398 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: more than twenty percent of their value since the beginning 399 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: or the middle of November. Yeah, so it's priced in. 400 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: I think I think investors you think it's not priced 401 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: in are probably being shortsighted. It is absolutely being priced in. 402 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: In our view, the stocks have underperformed, to your point, 403 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: quite a lot just in the last four weeks in 404 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: an environment where we're seeing really good strength. I mean, 405 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 1: we saw a record Thanksgiving traffic, Domestic leisure is above 406 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: pre pandemic levels, pricing is above fourth quarter nineteen levels. 407 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: We are going to see very strong revenue um this quarter, 408 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: and it's going to be partially offset by installationary pressure 409 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: in wages and fuel for sure, but fuel costs aren't 410 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: even as high as we thought they were going to be, 411 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: so they've come down a little bit, and I think 412 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: going into the first quarter, what we've said is we 413 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: think that after the first week of January, we'll see 414 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: about three to four weeks of a slow down, and 415 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: then we think mid February, right, so around President's Day week, um, 416 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: we'll see a pickup and then we think that's going 417 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: to continue through the summer. It's interesting that here in 418 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: the UK and Europe some of the airlines have been 419 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: colmoring from all government support, ringing their hands at the 420 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: latest need for PC artests to travel internationally, saying that's 421 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: going to reac havoc on their Christmas bookings and winter bookings. 422 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: What real time time data are you looking at? Is 423 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: it always about the t s A data or can 424 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: you get a feel for the flow of bookings and 425 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: how how real they are or how many cantulations were 426 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: starting to see? Yeah, so that's that's a good question. 427 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: We rely on t SA data number first and foremost, 428 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: because I guess that's the best um read on what's 429 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: happening exactly today, and not only t s A. By 430 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: the way, we get the data from europe Control as well. 431 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: And then in terms of the forward bookings, we rely 432 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: on arc A r c our Corporate gives us the 433 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: numbers every week, so we rely on that as well. 434 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: We don't you know, we don't have a credit card 435 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: company that we're with whom we are associated, so we 436 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: rely on that. And then not enough time. But I've 437 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: got to ask you this news driven question. Airbus is 438 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: cleaning Owen's clock. What are they talking about in Chicago 439 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: and Seattle today to right the Boeing ship? Well, you 440 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: know that's Kai's per view. I'm asking you. I don't 441 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: so so I think the key Eleman is getting the 442 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: seven eight seven's delivered again. That's number one. And I 443 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: think the other big issue is getting the Maxes out 444 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: there and getting him in the air again. Um, which 445 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: is happening. I've I've flown that Max a few times 446 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: now and and just love it. It's a great It's 447 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: a great plane in my opinion.
