1 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast and I'm Tom Keane 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Jay Lee. We bring you insight from the best in economics, finance, investment, 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course on the Bloomberg Joining 5 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: us right now on these elasticities as they are called 6 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: as Emory decent. She is absolutely fabulous at the dynamics 7 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: of supply and demand. Emory to throw out your textbook 8 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: right now, explain to us the linear or log elasticities 9 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: of demand. Coming back, John just highlighted the Goldben thought. 10 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: Is it linear gradual at a at a unit pace 11 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: or is there some acceleration tendencies where boom, we get 12 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: back to a better price. That's does it is morning 13 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: matter only when you can actually drive or fly. I 14 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: think that's the problem we have with a lot of 15 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: these models that we're running. Um, you know, given the 16 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: prices right now, demand would be phenomenally strong in a 17 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: few months time, but it doesn't work when everybody is 18 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: in lockdown. UM, we've been we've been calling for ten 19 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: dollar oil for Brent as well for a while, and 20 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: you know we've we've absolutely looked at the single digit prices. 21 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: So this has to happen because the only way you're 22 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: going to balance this market right now for prices to 23 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: go to levels to get supplies to shut and you're 24 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: finally setting that in motion tanks upside. Yeah, but in 25 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: some ways parces have also done the work to get 26 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: supplies running. Brent, Brent getting a ten dollars Just to 27 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: give you some perspective, the June contract currently trading just 28 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: under twenty dollars a barrel, so that means a loss 29 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: of almost fifty that you foresee in the near future. 30 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: I want to understand here. And now we've study tankers 31 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: barreling down on the Gulf coast with tons, billions, millions 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: of barrels of oil ready to be deployed. You have 33 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: the fact is that all of the storage capacity has 34 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: nearly filled up. The tanks are topping out. What happens 35 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: when we run out of storage, which many experts think 36 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: will happen within weeks. Here, I think that's the critical question. 37 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: And you know, this is why we were never bullish 38 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: even after the OPEC deals, because for us, it was 39 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: a little too late. Because the surgeon April is going 40 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: to hit at a time when demand is at its worse, 41 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: but be the scale of the cutbacks is simply not 42 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: enough to offset the demand folds. The issue is if 43 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: we're going to get tanks ups in the next couple 44 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: of weeks, that's why prices need to go down to 45 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: levels people crazy negative levels, because you're essentially they could 46 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: produce as stop producing right now. And that's why we 47 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: are still thinking we're not out of the woods yet. 48 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot more downside right now 49 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: because it meant but even though Brant is in the team, 50 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: a lot of the physical differentials, like dated Brent is 51 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: actually half of the price. But we have already achieved 52 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: that price target. It's not the future that we're talking about. 53 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: We're talking about the physical market here. But I think 54 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: the critical thing is that you can't expect prices to 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 1: start rising. They need to stay here for a while. 56 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: Production has to have to shop in very, very quickly, 57 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: because once we hit tank ups, you have to get 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: supply equal in demand from the very moment. And Rata, 59 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: I wanted you to help me understand the following line. 60 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: It came from sock Jen and it was something that 61 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: I actually didn't realize and it goes as follows. Quote. 62 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: Unlike Brent, the w t I future contract is physically 63 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: delivered and has no cash settlement option. Can you just 64 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: give us a little bit more detail on that. The 65 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: difference between a Brent contract and w t I am retail. 66 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: I think very broadly speaking, the point to remember is 67 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: that pushing where w T is delivered is still kind 68 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: of a landlocked hub. Yes it has pike clines in 69 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: and out, but unlike Brain that can't really get on water, 70 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: Brent always has the optionality to put that cowde on 71 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: a boat and it can find storage anywhere in the world, 72 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: whereas a w t I is really about cushing, and 73 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: that's why it can get stranded and you can get 74 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: to these negative numbers which you won't get good breaks 75 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: and Rita. I'm curious about President Trump's comments that he 76 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: wants to support the energy industry in the United States. 77 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: What are his options. We know that the that potentially 78 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: the Energy Administration can potentially buy oil for their strategic reserves. 79 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: We know that they can pay producers to keep oil 80 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: in the ground, and then there's just the let it 81 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: rip go ahead, produce as much as you want and 82 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: let the chips forward. They may which is the best 83 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: or least worst option of those? Well, I think the 84 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: fantastic question. I mean, even if they buy for the 85 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: spr that's only million barrels more or less, that's going 86 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: to be a drop in the option given the kind 87 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: of denand losses we've seen right now, Um, I think 88 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: look bailing companies out and in any way however that 89 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: the support comes through, the reality is, um, we have 90 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: to get the market do the work now, and the 91 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: market is doing it right. That's why prices out where 92 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: they are and the only way supplies can come back 93 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: is when you actually start to get prices or rather 94 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: infantry is coming down. It doesn't really matter. And again 95 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: remember even if there's some bailout packages, private equity money 96 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: has dried up. Banks are not going to lend. So 97 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: I think for the shild patch in particular, it's going 98 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: to be very difficult for them to come back to 99 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: engin as prices right. And read there's a recollection here 100 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: of Midlands of a number of years ago, in six 101 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: of a number of years ago, and we all trotted 102 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: out at the prize. We read it cover to cover 103 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: and said Daniel Jurgen was a genius and were thrilled it. 104 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: He wrote The Quest as a follow on as well 105 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: in six I was a primal scream from OPEC do something, 106 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: and they did it, and there was geo politics and 107 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: military involved in there and the rest. What's the primal 108 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: scream right now from the cartel? What? What's there? Do 109 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: something right now? Well? I think first and foremost for them, yes, 110 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: they have done a historical deal right. Yes, it kicks 111 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: in and made. That's part of the problem because the 112 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: deal kicks and after they've search production and therefore we 113 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: can still hit tank of before that. Um, they know 114 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: they might have to do more, but they are also 115 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: very aware that this is a demand problem. There's no 116 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: way they can step in and cut certain million dollars, 117 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: but they and they're also very clear why should they 118 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: be the ones to cut. I think everybody needs to 119 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: a contribute and that's absolutely fair, and that's again why 120 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: the market to work. You're not going to get US 121 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: and Canada to commit to cut legally, right So I 122 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: think that's where we are right now. They know they 123 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: need to stabilize the market, but they also know that 124 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: there's not very much they can do in the very 125 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: short term. That's why I think the two Europea deal 126 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: is very important. They know they need to continue with 127 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: cooperation for a longer period of time because this is 128 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: going to be the market that takes a long time 129 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: to recover and read to thank you so much. Just 130 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: love having you on Emory to sign with this energy 131 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: aspects UH this morning. Small business in America really struggling 132 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: at this point, and we're lucky to have with us today, 133 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: Karen Mills, the Harvard Business School, City of Fellow and 134 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: form ahead of the US Small Business Administration. Karen, fantastic 135 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: to have you with us today. Just tell me straight 136 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: off the top, what more can be done to help 137 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: a really struggling area of this economy. The smallest small businesses, 138 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,119 Speaker 1: as you all know, missed out on the last rash 139 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: of the paycheck protection plan. And the good news is 140 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: that hopefully, hopefully Congress will actually pass this and it 141 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: will start flowing this week. Now. The question is what's 142 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: going to be different this time? And I think maybe 143 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: I'm a little more up domestic because last time it 144 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: went through the banks first, and their bigger clients got 145 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: to the front of the line with all their paperwork. 146 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: This time, there's something different, which is that a bunch 147 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: of the new players like Square and PayPal have gotten 148 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: their approvals and they're all queued up and their loans 149 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: in their queue. They tell me average twenty five tho 150 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: dollars forty dollars instead of the two hundred and forty 151 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: thousand we saw go out in the last So if 152 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: they flipped the switch and those folks get their loans funded, 153 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: which is still an if because we don't know if 154 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: it's all gonna work as seamlessly as as they hope, 155 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: then a bunch more of the small businesses may get 156 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: through this. There's a few other provisions to this is fascinating. 157 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: I want to pick up on the Squares of the 158 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: world and their involvement in this. When you talk about 159 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: the funds that are being allocated from the federal government, 160 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: are are the Squares and the PayPal was of the 161 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: world getting equal types of allocations to the big Bank 162 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: America and JP Morgan's of the world. Interestingly, there's no allocations. 163 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: There's just one big pot of money. Now in this 164 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: new bill, there's a second pot of money. And what 165 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: I had a recommendation I spoke to Pelosi's office in Congress, 166 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: and I said, look, make the second pot of money 167 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: a hundred billion set aside for small loans, loans under 168 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: forty dollars. But instead they said it's going to be 169 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: set aside for community banks and community financial organizations, which 170 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: I love those folks, but they are not the most 171 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: swift and technologically savvy. So well, you know, waiting to 172 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: see if they're a good conduit. But the sixty billion 173 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: that only goes through them, everybody else square and all 174 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: those other folks go in the main pot, and it's 175 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: first come, first served. Now, the good news is the 176 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: technology is such that everybody he is now automated, they 177 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: tell me, and to end, they're going to press the 178 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: button and we'll see what the Etrian system takes. Karen 179 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: to John's question and his absolute bewilderment over America's distrust 180 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: of providing income support to people. Long ago, in far 181 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: away there was a struggling company called Tutsie Roll, of 182 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: which you've got a nodding acquaintance. And there's a point 183 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: in every company's cycle where they just need money. Why 184 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: are we so afraid to just cut checks to small 185 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: small businesses? You know, I am totally in your camp, 186 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: because sometimes America forgets about its small businesses and they 187 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: don't even get to the front of the line. I mean, 188 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: why has it taken another week for us to replenish it. 189 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: We should know they need the money. Other countries are 190 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: cutting checks directly into the hands of small business owners, 191 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: So why why aren't we? One of the answers is 192 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: we actually don't have up the kind of tracking data 193 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: that they have in Germany and in Denmark on our 194 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: small businesses. Maybe we should have that, Karen, don't we 195 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: have a lack of trust data? To John's good question, 196 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there just seems to be a distrust of 197 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: handy thousand dollar check to a struggling small business and 198 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: saying we trust you to pay your salary, et cetera, 199 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: with guidelines. Where did where did that evaporate from America? Well, 200 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: we should have more trust in our small business owners 201 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: because they are the ones keeping the economy afloat, and 202 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: as you all have said, they really need it now. 203 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: And you know, if there's somebody out there who took 204 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: the money, who shouldn't shame on them. And I hope 205 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: they look themselves in the mirror and they feel badly 206 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: because they took it out of the hands of the 207 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: corner store and the people in our community who are 208 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: desperate for it um. But we shouldn't mistrust them. They 209 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: are really our our livelihood, and I hope my concern 210 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: is this is not enough money. My number is at 211 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: least seven fifty, and we're getting close to that, but 212 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: I think we're going to be out of money end 213 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: of the week. Cart something that you touched off at 214 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: the start of this conversation. I think it's absolutely critical. 215 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: How do we stop big companies competing with the small 216 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: businesses that you're talking about. I'm not talking about five 217 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: hundred people. I'm talking about less than fifty, the really 218 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: small Momo poth stores across America that don't have the 219 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: army of accountants, that can't get the paperwork done quickly enough, 220 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: and cannot compete with public companies in America that was 221 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: still able to tap this fund. How do we stop that? Well? 222 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: My solution was to set aside a large part of 223 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: it for small loans. We know the gap is loans 224 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: under forty dollars. That's the most vulnerable people, the women 225 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: owned businesses, the minority owned businesses, the independent contractors. There's 226 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: twenty four million jobs at stake. Really people whose livelihood 227 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, they can't they can't go cut the hair. 228 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: So those people, I'm telling them, go to Square, go 229 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: to PayPal and sign up now so that you can 230 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: be in the queue. They have the software that will 231 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: help you put in your correct information. Kind right to 232 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: cant show with you this monic fantastic to have you 233 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: with us on this produgram Kinra mills that have a 234 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: business goes City, a fellow form ahead of US Small 235 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: Business Administration. There's some extraordinary pandemic, the epps and flows 236 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: of it and with it now well there's some changes, 237 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: there are some better statistics out there, but still it 238 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: is very difficult in the emergency rooms across America. Laurence 239 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: Sawer where us with Johns Hopkins University. She's expert in 240 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: emergency medicine. Here's an update from Laurence Soer. We have 241 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: a lot of cast in the United States, but unfortunately, 242 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: I think they're not distributed in a way that allows 243 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: us to do systematic and broad testing. And that testing 244 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: is sort of the lyn Japan of all the other 245 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: public health measures that were put being into place. So 246 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: we definitely need to ramp up testing UM, and we 247 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: need to make sure testing is happening in these hardest 248 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: hit places. How do you see the lockdown ending, so 249 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: do we just return to normal or will there be 250 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: very specific health measures of social distancing that need to 251 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: be kept A great question. I think you know everyone's 252 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: looking forward to the lockdown ending, but we have to 253 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: do it carefully or we'll be back right in this 254 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: situation or possibly even worse after we reopen everything. UM. 255 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: Testing is going to be critical to ending this lockdown. 256 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: And then you link that testing with quick access to 257 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: care contact tracing, which is identifying people who had contact 258 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: with people who are sick UM and making sure that 259 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: they stay isolated or quarantined UM if they're not sick 260 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: until they pass their their possible window of getting other sick. 261 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: Those are the key measures for sure, Lauren. You are 262 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: expert in emergency medicine, which I learned a long time ago. 263 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: As a process driven event. You go from step to 264 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: step to step to step. What part of the testing 265 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: steps plural is the one that's the constraint. What's the 266 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: thing that makes it so it's so darn hard to 267 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: get tests done in this pandemic. I think basically what 268 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: happened is we had a not so great strategy and 269 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: then we executed that strategy in not in a not 270 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: so great way, in a poor way, and and so 271 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: we were starting from behind from the get go. And 272 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: so now we don't have sort of this systematic approach 273 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: to test thing. It's a it's a patchwork across across 274 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: the United States, and people are making their own decisions. 275 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: They're they're working with what they have UM to get 276 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: people tested. But it's not systematic, and no one has 277 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: visibility on the whole system. And so there's breakdowns in 278 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: where tests are being done, the all the pieces that 279 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: go to it UM, the reagents that the swabs. You know, 280 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: there's small breakdowns, and those small breakdowns add up quickly exactly. 281 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: So you know, I say this with great respect for 282 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: the exhausted people doing this. Every day, I hear the 283 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: clapping in New York City at seven pm. It's coast 284 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: to coast great, where is c d C? And all this? 285 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: I mean when I was in school, it was always 286 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: c d C to the rescue. Shouldn't c d C 287 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: with a full force of the Speaker, the Senate Majority 288 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: Leader and the President of the United States affect a 289 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: uniform test. I absolutely think so. I think you know, 290 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: we're hearing from the federal leadership that there's enough tests 291 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: and that might be that might be the truth, but 292 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: because they're not spread out and implemented in that systematic manner, 293 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. We need leadership from CDC, we need 294 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: leadership from ASPER, we need leadership from NIH, all supported 295 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: by the administration to roll out abroad and systematic testing program. Absolutely, 296 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: what can we do better in the US to make 297 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: sure there's enough personal protection equipment? UM? I think we 298 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: need to look really hard at our supply chain and 299 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: we need to be careful about how we're using PPE closely, 300 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: and one of the pieces of that is making sure 301 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: that we don't reopen too quickly so that we're we 302 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: have time UM to build up our stores of PPE again, 303 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: we have time to distribute it again before we see 304 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: another increase in cases if we if we do open 305 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: too quickly, So that's key for sure, UM. And then 306 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: training people to use it effectively and appropriately continues to 307 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: be really really important. So as new people come on 308 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: to work, UM, as new people come into the health 309 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: care system, making sure they understand what it's for, how 310 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: to use it, and how to be safe while putting 311 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: it on and off. Laurence are another terrific update there 312 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and of 313 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: course their emergency room effort. Now sebastied Galli with us, 314 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm already asset management, He writes, a wonderfully ellective research 315 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: note on a more macro macro, but also with a 316 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: real bet towards foreign exchange as well. Uh Bastion, I 317 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: know that Paul Sweeney has got all sorts of interesting questions. 318 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: I want to go Minutia and you right now Mexico 319 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: with a rake cut out of nowhere, Turkey with a 320 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: capitulation they out of nowhere? What are idiosyncratic em economy 321 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: signaling when they see these surprise rake cuts. What it's 322 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: telling you there is that there you have countries which 323 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: have strong men which are in charging, countries which are 324 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: fairly democratic, and countries which have a strong man in charge. 325 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: You have a certain tendency to be very aggressive into 326 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: monetary as well as physical policy because you do need 327 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: a course support from the population. You can't exist without it. 328 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: And that makes me say, are very sensitive to it. 329 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: I mean to accept a much higher level of inflation. 330 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: And that's what you can be expected in in some countries. 331 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: Others are much more democratic, it is more mitigated. They 332 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: take measures and might be less aggressive, which might actually 333 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: be the wrong decision initially. And you're seeing that, for 334 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: example in the gaves of Mexico where their cut rates. 335 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: And if you look in the case of Turkey, you 336 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: can see that the real interest rate so interested that 337 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: you see the minus inflation is uh. It's very unappealing 338 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: for foreign investors. There's a very high level inflation. A 339 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: lot of it is because it's a very weak currency 340 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: which is importing a lot of inflation through the country. 341 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: And it's a country deeply in trouble because it's also 342 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: a large manufacturing based at the same at the time 343 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: when there's not a lot of appeal. If you think 344 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: more Brawley about idiosyncratic risk, this is the particularity of 345 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: emerging markets. They tend to break breaking you in a 346 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: different ways than breaking in old and well understood ways. 347 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: And what we're seeing is a mixture of things breaking 348 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: and things also performing very well. So people will think 349 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: of Taiwan and Singapore is being in merged markets. They 350 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: are not, but they're part of the same basket and 351 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: they're performing extremely well. So Sebastian, what do you make 352 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: of what we've seen in the oil market over the 353 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: last several days? Negative prices on that may contract a 354 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: couple of days ago, just really really once in a 355 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: lifetime kind of stuff. What's your view? Well, would you 356 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: there are two elements. One is the easy part of 357 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: the supply. Hasn't they cut enough? I think that was 358 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: evident for a lot of people in the market, and 359 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: so it was not a surprise that all prices continued 360 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: to tumble afterwards. Was to surprise that would good to 361 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: zero and to a negative rate, so quite a few 362 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: commentators that meant making that that point a few weeks ago, 363 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: so not a complete surprise. What also was part of 364 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: the process is most likely a fear that there would 365 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: not be a delivery of the contract, that there would 366 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: be a default. Uh, And and that's probably something also 367 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: what you're we're going to discover in the next few weeks, 368 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: in the next a few days, that there are some 369 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: very significant accident in the market. And I think every 370 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: time the future gets to close the delivery, there will 371 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: be uh, in the next few weeks, the next few months, party, 372 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be a fear of delivery mixed or mixed. 373 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: Was also fear of creditors. Sebastian, what's the fallout of 374 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 1: disinflation and the goods outright deflation off of this collapse 375 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: in oil. Well, if you're Japanese, if you imagine the 376 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: way they lived there for for a now decades, it's great. 377 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: Deflation is not an issue. You do great that you go, 378 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: you go purchase your stuff and it's cheaper than what's before. 379 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean the economy is classing. It just means 380 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: the economy in some cases it is not doing very well. 381 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: What it is is a gigantic transfer well from Russia 382 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: and Sati rabe get to the West, not all of 383 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: America because Texas, of course and some parts of the 384 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: United States are or energy producing, but broadly speaking, a 385 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: transfer wealth to most American of a very large scale. 386 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: So it's gonna last for a few months. And as yep, well, 387 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: this is really I don't mean to interrupt, but this 388 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: is really really important for our domestic listeners. Uh, Sebastian, 389 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: are you suggesting that the president should be celebrating these 390 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: oil price declines and that the majority of Americans will 391 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: see wealth benefit from lower oil prices. It's a complicated 392 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: question because one is that the energy producing regions are 393 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: typically more Republicans, and so he's very sensitive by definitions. 394 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: It it's a strategic part of the US economy and 395 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: it cannot sustain these levels of prices for very long. 396 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: People have hedged. A lot of these companies have hedged, 397 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: but these hedges because they are not large company, they're 398 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: not multinationals. In many cases, it will be hedge over 399 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: three months. So as these three months go zero, they 400 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: get into into very severe type of trouble, and that 401 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: means he doesn't have to intervene. But probably speaking, it's 402 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: great for America. Does do they need to input terris 403 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: on non existing imports from Saudi Arabia or Russia? Let 404 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: them do it. It won't make much of a difference 405 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: if if any does. The US need to be part 406 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: of um fixing organized system with with the OPEC. Plus 407 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: that's in I guess in an open question, it's clear 408 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: that there's a massive amount of supply. This supply will 409 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: fall from the United States in the next few weeks, 410 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: very rapidly, first from the factors, then from the big 411 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: oilers as their hedge roll over. And so there's going 412 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: to be natural stabilization of the process. And that can 413 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: be seen if you look on your Boomberg screen in 414 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: the term structure of old prices, they are much higher 415 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: in the future than they are now. And that tells 416 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: you that people think that it's gonna eventually normalize. And 417 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: I learned that function just a couple of days ago 418 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: from John Farris. I still don't know, still learning sebashion. 419 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: So we're gonna get another in here in the United 420 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: States tomorrow. Another jobless claims UH number coming out likely 421 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: to be ugly once again. More than twenty million Americans 422 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: have lost their job in the last month or so. 423 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: How do you think about how this economy, given what 424 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be just extraordinary jobless unemployment rate, how do 425 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: you think this economy is going to play out over 426 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: the next several quarters? Can we get people, can we 427 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: get this economy reopen them back to work? Or is 428 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: this gonna be a long term build? So yeah, I 429 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: mean we're expecting on the Gloomer consensus is for four 430 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: point five million are coming in the initial claims a 431 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank is calling for unemployment. It's a huge, gigantic 432 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: shock and for some like the hotel industry to longer 433 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: term shots. For retails and the likes, it's probably a 434 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: shorter term shocks. And what you have is a mixture 435 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: of things which are very intense but don't last very long, 436 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: and things that can last much longer because there are 437 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: default companies which have permanently off and because also the 438 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: consumer is weaken even though when things they're normalized, people 439 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: are going to go in shop for stuff they need, 440 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: a lot of younger households, for example, have their rent 441 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: that they may or may not have paid. They'll be 442 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: concern they're gonna be rebuilding their savings. So she means 443 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: it's going to take them probably five six eight months 444 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: basically to start normalizing their their consumption. So a mixture 445 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: of different event which means that in two to four quarters, 446 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be okay, but it probably will 447 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: take four quarters. Sebasti Gali with a Signoria Sebastian I 448 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: just got an email from Christine and Frankford and she 449 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: noted that we haven't duck talked anything about Europe today 450 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: at all, so let's jump into it right now. How 451 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: critical Sebastian is it that europe find a togetherness on 452 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: debt what is called mutualization? How critical is that or 453 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: is that just a dodge for the fact they've got 454 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: to finally do something with the present instruments they have, 455 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: like e s M. So they do have an instruence 456 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: such as the s M to to do something, but 457 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: probably and they cost that there's a penalty basically to 458 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: participated and yet them you lose control of your policy, 459 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: which the Italians are very reluctant to do. So they're 460 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: having a phone call on the CB side today. On 461 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: the European side, are the no, no, that's an interesting question. 462 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: But the the the the European basically are have no 463 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: romat or barely of a romance, have no goals that 464 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: they're trying to reach which are very clear, and no 465 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: way to fund them. And the main reason is um 466 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: is called the ants in the Grasshopper story and it's 467 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: an old poem in French and then empty ant Um 468 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: basically works the entire summer, the grasshopper plays and answers, 469 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: and when the winter comes to grasshopper comes to the 470 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: ant and ask for help and the ansen, well, you've you've, 471 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: you've danced all summer, please continue. And this is Germany 472 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: and Netherlands, so they it's seen as cruel from one 473 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: point of view. It's also seen as the fact that 474 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: Italy and the lives particularly Itally hasn't reformed. Now we 475 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: have to pay for the fact that they haven't done 476 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: their job. It's Europe, which means that eventually something will 477 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: be done, but it's not gonna happen soon and and 478 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: it also means that Itally will have to go to 479 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: the s M within six months um. For now they're 480 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: being held by the TV which is buying BTPs, but 481 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: they might be downgraded so badly that they may or 482 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: may not be able to use them as collateral. Sebastian, 483 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: thank you so much, just brilliant. Sebastian Galley with US 484 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: folks Manoritia Asset Management.
