Speaker 1: and of course on the Bloomberg terminal. John us now

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: is David Paige, Acts Investment Managers, Head of Macro Research. David,

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: Does that resonate with you, sir, that we could see

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: a broadening and price pressures go again too next year? Yeah,

9
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's the key debate that every central

10
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: bank has to sort of focus on. How assistent is

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: this supply show? No question, there's a supply shop at

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: the moment, and we're going to see it in Q

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: three g d P numbers. We're thinking of states when

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: they come through. But the question is how assistant. So

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: for now we've had the view and we share this

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: view that we are seeing a relatively transit. Treatments apply restraints.

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: So if you look at, for example, participation, it's been

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: very lack luster in recent months. We do expect that

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: to pick up. I think part of this is just

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: a natural indigestion. I don't buy too much that it's

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: it's due to unemployment benefits. Certainly in states we've seen

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: that drop back. We haven't seen a miraculous recovery and

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: labor supply. But I think there is a natural indigestion,

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: and I think that indigestion should fade as we move

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: into the false quarter. But if it doesn't. If it

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: doesn't fade, then you are seeing a more restricted background.

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: You are going to see earnings continue at the sort

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: of relatively elevated monthly place that we see at the moment,

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: and that's something the FED has to take count of. Effectively,

30
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: what you're suggesting, or what it would conclude, is that

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: you're seeing a bigger supply shot than this pandemic. Now

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: that might be because you know, the workers that we're

33
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: looking for post pandemic a difference to the ones that

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: were employed pre pandemic, and there's a skills mismatch. There

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: could be all sorts of issues. We don't think that's

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, but that's what we're going to

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: see over the next couple of months, and the FED

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: will have to if it changes that that transitory outlook David,

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: you and everybody else has lauring a GDP estimates. You've

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: got five point seven percent now and in the next

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: year four point three. Is that a linear extrapolation down

42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: a potential GDP UM? No, because I think the potential

43
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: GDP adjustment that's going to come through UM is a

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: long term figgure, right, So it is a linear extrapolation

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: of the supply shop that we see coming through in

46
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: the third quarter. We do think that that that's been

47
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: an impact, but I don't think it's something that we

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: should therefore extrapolate going forever forwards. We would still see

49
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: US GDP potential growth in the fullness of time and

50
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: somewhere around two. So I don't think that that's too

51
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: much concerned. But in terms of the supply demand imbalance,

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: which is critical for the sort of inflation pressures, then yeah,

53
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it is that supply has reduced

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: rather than to the drop off in the land. David.

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Investment manager after investment manager has come on this show

56
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: and said that right now the dynaminism of the U

57
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: S economy has been pretty much priced in, and it's

58
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: time to turn to to Europe and potentially even to Asia.

59
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: For equity exposure. Do you agree, Well, I think the US,

60
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: the US rebound has been remarkable. It's got to the

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: point where we are closing the Apple gap. We're looking

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: at a very strong growth for that year next year,

63
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: UM that's going to continue m this this excess demand,

64
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: and I think there's still strength in the US marketing. Now.

65
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: You know, we can talk for all your life about

66
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: whether we see corrections coming up over the next little while,

67
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: but now I think you know, in general the U

68
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: S sector mark is going to remain relatively well underpinned.

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: But in terms of should we switch from a sort

70
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: of growth model, which is obviously something the US, you know,

71
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: really exemplifies, or a more value driven active performance, which

72
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: is perhaps something where Europe will do better. Then I

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: think as we start see really you pick up towards

74
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: here and we should start to move more into that

75
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: that value area. So I think there is scope, certainly

76
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: for more of a pickup to come through from Europe,

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: but we're not. Let's bring things up with the FED

78
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: timeline if we can. In the time we have left,

79
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: we pushed against the clock here. What are you looking

80
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: for into this September twenty two meeting? And beyond December

81
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: gets really interesting. The fIF is the FED, the sixte

82
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: is the e c B. So I think as you

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: look at September, they cleared the decks and suggest that

84
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: at any point they could announce paper. They won't do

85
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: it in September. I don't think they won't do it

86
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: at the end of October. I think they'll announced in

87
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: December and papering will start in January. And there's a

88
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: debate about whether it comes a little bit quicker than that,

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right with with the FED lightly to

90
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: announced paper in December, with DCB clearly lining up a

91
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: big set of policy moves at that time. December is

92
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: going to at the year end, it's gonna be an

93
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: interesting month a month obviously outlook, David, thank you. Going

94
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: to hear from you as always the weekend, Sir David Page,

95
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: actual investment manager's head of macro research. Right now, watching

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: all this is m alody and value at Wells Fargo

97
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Asset Management in active equity as well, and on the

98
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: banking industry right now, on the big banks, on the

99
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: super re generals, is their value There is Shanali mentioned

100
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: they're dealing with a digital onslaught. Do you find value

101
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: in the big banks? I think our investment teams TOM

102
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: really do see value in the long run for the

103
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: big banks UM. But as you know, they're tied to

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: rates and UM, so as you see rates rise, the

105
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: banks will benefit. They've also benefit from some of the

106
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: lending UM as you guys talked about earlier. But they

107
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: are still attractive from evaluation standpoint. The secular challenges that

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: the banks have, though, are going to continue, so I

109
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: think you have to be selective as an investor. Well,

110
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: can we talk about who that campaigns with now? And

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: they're not competing with each other anymore, aren't they? They're

112
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: increasingly competing with others outside of their industry, the traditional industry.

113
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: That's right, they are And I think you know, in

114
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: the past people worried about credit cards, with the credit

115
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: cards were always linked to banks UM and benefited the

116
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: new technology, even bitcoin itself. How does that change the

117
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: future of banking both here and abroad globally. So UM,

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: I think those are all the things that investors have

119
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: to think about. And you know, look, I haven't had

120
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: time to really look into these changes at Bank of America,

121
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: but any bank that's thinking about the future is thinking

122
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: about the right things and making changes directed towards that.

123
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: And as an investor, this raises an issue of bold moves.

124
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: Do you want to see banks making bold moves using

125
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: some of their cash maybe to make acquisitions of smaller

126
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: tech firms to try to adapt the new normal and banking.

127
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: Is that something you would reward? Again, it depends on

128
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: the individual company, because when our investment teams are looking

129
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: at companies, they're looking at what does their balance sheet

130
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: look like, what has been their growth rate? And then

131
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you want to see a measured response,

132
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: both thinking about current business conditions and the business you

133
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: have at hand, but investing for that growth over a

134
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: long period of time. You don't want to just and

135
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: you don't want to lose the customers you have today

136
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: or the business you have today on your way to

137
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: the future. So most of the time it's measured, especially

138
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: for mature industries, but there are times where you have

139
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: to accelerate, especially a piece of the business. And as

140
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: you pointed out, the banks have gotten very far behind

141
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: in technology. They have outsourced a lot of it to

142
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: make it easy for you and I as consumers. Um

143
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: not that surprising now, coming out of oh eight oh nine, um,

144
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: the financial crisis, all of the other things they had

145
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: to focus on. Right now, it seems like the banks

146
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: are trading in a bucket of cyclicals. The banks are

147
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: trading alongside airlines and other reopening stocks as people look

148
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: towards the post pandemic reality. I'd love to get your

149
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: sense and something that we saw yesterday where when we

150
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: see dat or information that puts a damper on this narrative,

151
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: like Airlines coming out and down grading their expectations, you

152
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: saw the shares rally significantly and lead the charge. What

153
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: do you make of that? Is this basically the appropriate

154
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: response from investors like yourself? But I think what the

155
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: market is finally recognized and as something that we've been

156
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: talking about for a long time. Don't pick growth or value,

157
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: or don't pick the marketing, you know, the economy opening

158
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: or back on shutdown. You have to have a collection

159
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: of both. And it's because the growth rates in some

160
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,359
Speaker 1: of these cyclical companies are the strongest of any industry.

161
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: And it's not surprising. UM. I think there's also a

162
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: lot of demand and pent up demand, as you all

163
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: talk about, and so you see things like yes fears

164
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: of the delta variant, but also a greater proportion of

165
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: the population getting vaccinated. And so we're at the tipping

166
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: point where things are going to get better and investors

167
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: are always forward looking at what's going to change and

168
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: always enjoy catching O with you. Thanks for being with us,

169
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: and Lady the West Fonca Basset Management, head of ACTID Equity.

170
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: Right now in bonds the US rates, Sadra Rajapa joins

171
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: us with society general. Wonderful to have you on and

172
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: I just want to go to one phrase within your

173
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: good research note, which is overwhelming demand. What is the

174
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: why of overwhelming demand for bills, notes and bonds? There's

175
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: just a lot of cash in the sidelines, right, I mean,

176
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: this was a week where we got spectacular amounts of

177
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: of supply, not just in treasuries but also in corporate bonds,

178
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: and yet everything was absorbed well by the markets. You

179
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: have over a trillion dollars that the that's parked with

180
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: the Feds over an r RP program. There's just a

181
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: lot of cash to be put to work, and policy

182
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: for the most part looks like it's going to be

183
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: somewhat and nine there's no fears of taper, either from

184
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: the e c B or the U or the the Fed.

185
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: So broadly speaking, I think that the market parties but

186
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 1: feel very comfortable putting money to work. Here, Which duration

187
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: is most attractive, which duration has the silliest demand? Well,

188
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing demand pretty much across the curve.

189
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the front end is a little bit distorted

190
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: because bill supplies going down as we head into the

191
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: death ceiling debate, But broadly speaking, across the curve, you know,

192
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: three stents thirties, we've seen very very strong demand from

193
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: end investors. I mean you're seeing demand from pensions and

194
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: insurance companies for the very long end, the intermediate sector,

195
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: the ten year bond as well, we saw very good

196
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: and investor demand. So I think that there's just a

197
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: lot of work cash should be put to work. Equities

198
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: are all time high. It's possible that you're seeing some

199
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: of these acid liability managers put some money into bonds

200
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: as well as a diversification going forward. What is the

201
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: signal from treasure yields where they are at the time

202
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: of supply. Is it just people looking only in the

203
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: next couple of days and weeks, or is it a

204
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: statement about low growth going ahead. Um, I think we're

205
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: really waiting on on center banking policy. I think we're

206
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: looking for you clear sign that we've made substantial for

207
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: the progress on employment so that the FED can start

208
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: tapering acid purchases. But I would say that in my conversations,

209
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: the preoccupation is much more on the inflation side and

210
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: whether the Fed can and will raise rates sooner than

211
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: the market expects. So we just don't have enough clarity.

212
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: So the bond market fields a little bit like a

213
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: deer cotton headlines, waiting for more information before we could

214
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: reprice higher. Although the information that we have, you know,

215
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: the Fed is going to wait for a very long

216
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: time and probably a much longer than they have ever

217
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: before before raising rates, before tightening policy. In any way,

218
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: we are seeing inflation. We just got that PPI data

219
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: that came in, uh, you know, pretty much in line

220
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: with esmiates, but the highest going back a decade. We've

221
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: gotten this idea that wages are going up. At one point,

222
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: we'll inflation called the Fed's hand and actually slow down

223
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: growth while crimping a lot of the economic activity that

224
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: corporations depend on. So that's a very good question. List

225
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: and I think that we just don't have enough data

226
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: yet for to make that assessment. But you're right. I mean,

227
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 1: to me, what's really concerning is the areas of inflation,

228
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: especially things like rents, medical medical care costs, wages, UH

229
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: and supply chain destructions. These all tend to be somewhat sticky,

230
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: and that could lead to a persistence of inflation, which

231
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: I think is an underpressed risk in the market. We

232
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: just don't have enough data to corroborate that. I think

233
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: what we're getting so far anecdotally from CEOs, even the

234
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Beige Book shows that there are a lot of supply

235
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: chain instructions and and and uh, you know, corporations not

236
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: being able to source materials. But we just have to

237
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: see more data points before we can see what the

238
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: impact will be on and the feed through to the consumer.

239
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: And Sivadrea said that it's not being priced into the market.

240
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: Which markets. Is it just the rates market that yields

241
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: should be higher, or is it incorporations that yield should

242
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: be higher. And frankly, some of the corporate bind uh

243
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: spremiums or spreads should also be higher. So I think

244
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: it's in all markets, right, even equities don't seem to

245
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: be that concerned about the rise and potential for a

246
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: persistence of inflation or rising inflation. I think the bond

247
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: market has break evens tenny break evens inway between two

248
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: twenty five and two fifty. So again, longer term inflation

249
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: expectations are are quite high, but not out of control.

250
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: But you know, going forward, the question is how persistent

251
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: this inflation will be. And when there's evidence that that

252
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: there's resistence of inflation, you'll see all of these markets

253
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: react very very quickly. You'll see a rise and break evens.

254
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: You'll see that also reflected in the equity market. We're

255
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: just not there yet. We're not there yet. Give us

256
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: a tenure call out twelve months. I mean, I'm absolutely fascinated.

257
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: Are you Are you in the range or you outside

258
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: the range? Um? We are thinking that a year from now,

259
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: we just published our forecast yesterday will be somewhere between

260
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: two and two UM. Again, I think that this is

261
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: we're on the high side because we think that uh,

262
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: you know, the market's enterprising these these risks, and also, uh,

263
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, ten year yields could gradually rise from from

264
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: here on if they're if fundamentals start to improve. I

265
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: think that there's a lot of pessimism on delta delta

266
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: variants as well as a lot of pestimism on the

267
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: stowdown in growth. So once we get through that wall

268
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: of worry, I think that there's a trajectory towards higher

269
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: yiels from here on. I looked abroad at the demands

270
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: of the market, and you know, it's just simple or

271
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: clipping a coupon. Is anybody with that call on yield

272
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: managing for total return? I don't think so. Yeah. So

273
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: I think that the real risk in the bond market.

274
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: I think that is that is the fact that people

275
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: aren't really focused on on real returns. Right, you look

276
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: at tenny real yields, they're negative one percent. Even if

277
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: you look at high yield. If you inflation is going

278
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: to be in the context of fortified percent for the

279
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: next several months, you're not getting very strong you know,

280
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: negative in real returns. So that has to be a

281
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: concern for anybody that's holding bonds, and that's not again

282
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: a concern that's reflected in the in the market. Given

283
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: the fact that deals are stubbornly low, I think that

284
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: that repressing has to happen over the next year. We're

285
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: on the Canada' Sadbantra. Do you think the fetch starts

286
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,359
Speaker 1: to worry they've got it wrong? I would say probably

287
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: sometime early next year. If these inflation prints that we're seeing,

288
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: the hild fish prints that we're seeing persist, I think

289
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: that that's definitely going to be concerned, and the Fed's

290
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: actually being very very prudent. What they're doing is preparing

291
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: for that now. I think that they start tapering acid

292
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: purchases early next year. They probably end by the middle

293
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: of the year, so that they can start raising rates

294
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: if they need to in the second half of next year.

295
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: So they're prepared for that scenario, but they're just not

296
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: expressing that concern as of now. How they manage that

297
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: message if they have to, will be fascinating. Sabantra, Thank you,

298
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: Sapantraampre sock Gen. They had a US right strategy. John

299
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: us now is David Paigeacks investment manager's head and macro research. David.

300
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: Does that resonate with you, sir, that we could see

301
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: a broadening and price pressures going againto next year? Yeah,

302
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's the key debate that every central

303
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: bank has to sort of focus on how persistent is

304
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: the supply show a question. There's a supply shock at

305
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: the moment, and we're going to see it in Q

306
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: three g d P numbers we think in the States

307
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: when they come through. But the question is how persistent.

308
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: So for now we've had the view and we share

309
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: this view that we are seeing a relatively transitory supply restraints.

310
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: So if you look at, for example, participation, it's been

311
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: very lack luster in recent months. We do expect that

312
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: to pick up. I think part of this is just

313
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: a natural indigestion. I don't buy too much that it's

314
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: it's due to unemployment benefits. Certainly in states we've seen

315
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: that drop back. We haven't seen a miraculous recovery and

316
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: labor supply. But I think there is a natural indigestion,

317
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: and I think that indigestion should fade as we move

318
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: into a fourth quarter, but it doesn't. If it doesn't fade,

319
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: then you are seeing a more restricted background. You are

320
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: going to see earnings continue at the sort of relatively

321
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: elevated monthly pace that we see at the moment, and

322
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: that's something the FED has to take count of. Effectively,

323
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: what you're suggesting or what it would conclude is that

324
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: you're seeing a bigger supply shop than this pandemic. Now,

325
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: that might be because you know, the workers that we're

326
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: looking for post pandemic are difference to the ones that

327
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: were employed pre pandemic, and they's a skills mismatch. There

328
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: could be all sorts of issues. We don't think that's

329
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, but that's what we're going to

330
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: see over the next couple of months, and the FED

331
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: will have to react if it if it changes that

332
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: that transitory outlook. David, you and everybody else's lawing a

333
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: GDP estimates. You've got five point seven percent now and

334
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 1: in the next year four point Is that a linear

335
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: extrapolation down of potential GDP UM? No, because I think

336
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: the potential GDP adjustment that's going to come through UM

337
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: is a long term figure, right, So it is a

338
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: linear extrapolation of the supply shock that we see coming

339
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: through in the quarter. We do think that that that's

340
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: been an impact, but I don't think it's something that

341
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: we should therefore extrapolate going forever forwards. We would still

342
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: see us GDP potential growth in the fullness of time

343
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: and somewhere around two per cent, So I don't think

344
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: that that's too much concerned. But in terms of the

345
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: supply demand imbalance, which is critical for the sort of

346
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: inflation pressures, then yeah, I mean, I think it is

347
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: that supply has reduced rather than into the drop off

348
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: in the land. David the investment manager after investment manager

349
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: has come on this show and said that right now

350
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: the dynamism of the U S economy has been pretty

351
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: much priced in and it's time to turn to to

352
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: Europe and potentially even to Asia for equity exposure. Do

353
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: you agree, Well, I think the US, the US rebound

354
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: has been remarkable. It's got to the point where we

355
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: are closing the apple gap. We're looking at a very

356
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: strong growth for the year next year. Um that's going

357
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: to continue this this excess demand, and I think there's

358
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: still strengthen the US marketing. Now. You know, we can

359
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: talk for all your life about whether we see corrections

360
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: coming up over the next little while, but no, I

361
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: think you know, in general, the US sector arek's going

362
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: to remain relatively well underpinned. But in terms of should

363
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: we switch from a sort of growth model which is

364
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: obviously something the US, you know, really exemplifies, or a

365
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: more value driven act performance, which is perhaps something where

366
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: Europe will do better. Then I think as we start

367
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: to see really pick up towards here and we should

368
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: start to move more into that that value area. So

369
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: I think there is scope certainly for more of a

370
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: pickup to come through from Europe. But let's bring things

371
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: up with the FED timeline if we can. In the

372
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: time we have left, we pushed against the clock here.

373
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: What are you looking for into the September, the twenty

374
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: two meeting and beyond December gets really interesting. The fift

375
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: is the FED, the sixteenth is the e C big

376
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: So I think as you look at September they clear

377
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: the decks and suggest that at any point they could

378
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: announce paper. They won't do it in September. I don't

379
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: think they won't do it at the end of October.

380
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: I think they'll announced in December and papering will start

381
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: in January. And there's a debate about whether it comes

382
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: a little bit bigger than Yeah, you're right with with

383
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: the FED lightly pronounced paper in December, with bTB clearly

384
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: lining up a big set of policy moves at that time.

385
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: December is going to the year end. It's gonna be

386
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: an interesting oneth A Monstrobos the Outlook, David, thank you.
