1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news, single best Idea and

2
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: we welcome all of you. Of course, big big week

3
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: here earning start tomorrow. We'll have full coverage of the

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: major bank earnings and so much other news flow as well.

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: We thank Rob Carroll and particularly our Bloomberg meteorologist every

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: time he's on. I learned of the geography, the topology,

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: the weather of this disaster in l A great set

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: of guests today. We started early today with Stuart Kaiser,

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: a city group always looking at equities. Some enthusiasm there,

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: but then we talked to Stuart Kaiser about yield.

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 2: If you think of the term structure, we would say

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: the two year yield is about Fed policy. The third

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: year yield there's more about inflation. The tenure yield and

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: our view reflects more growth expectations. So the fact that

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: the tenure has moved, yes, it's a bit of a

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: risk because it's moved quick. You would be a lot

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: of that's coming from the growth side of things, payrolls

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: last week in particular, And in that sense it's not

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: necessarily as bad for equity markets as a lot of

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: people are concerned about.

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: Stuart Kaiser, City Group and again looking at the equity market,

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: so you notice the pullback and maybe with a yield,

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: still some enthusiasm for earnings. And again we dive into

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: that earning season tomorrow, and not just about the banks.

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: It will be an eventful three four in even five

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: weeks as well. We talked to Stephen Stanley. He's at Santander.

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: He is an award winning economist, really really good at

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: the granular nature. Here's Stephen Stanley on the American economy.

29
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: I think that the economy is likely to be slower

30
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: in the near term, and I think the easy explanation

31
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: for that is that businesses are uncertain. We've got a

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: lot of policy questions to be resolved, and so I

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: think a lot of businesses that probably, even though they've

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: we've seen business optimism pick up, I think businesses are

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: sitting on the sidelines waiting to see So I think

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: for me, the first half of twenty twenty five should

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: be the slowest period, and then as we get certainty

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: on policy, I think things start to pick up again.

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: The question really is are we getting a slow down

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: in the labor market. Last Friday's numbers would say no.

41
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: You know, I would argue that we're still slowly seeing

42
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: job growth moderate. I do think the unemployment rate will

43
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: tick up a little bit in twenty twenty five, and

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: that gives the Fed a little bit of a reason

45
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: maybe to move closer to their view.

46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: We're neutralists, Stephen stain there, and I really can't say

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: enough about oppression and talk less of is business investment.

48
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: The core equation is why or our output equals C

49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: plus I plus G and then the trade on the

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: back end, so that's consumption plus investment plus the government

51
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: a part and then net exports as well, which is

52
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: exports minus imports. And all of this is important but

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: less talked about, particularly in financial media, is the eye

54
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: is investment? Off the top of my head, it makes

55
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: up I think it's eleven percent of the economy. Maybe

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: it's more. I stand corrected if I'm wrong, But Stephen

57
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: Stanley saying that's one of his wild cards for the

58
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: first half of twenty twenty five. What will be the

59
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: appetite of business to move forward in the first half

60
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: of the year. We thank you for your listen on
