Bonds what to do with the 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: bond market, We've got Jim Bianco. James Bianco is the 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: president of Bianco Research, joining us from Chicago. Boy, you know, 14 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: Jim Bianco, I think of the bond market continues the 15 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: way it's going, they're not gonna be any people in 16 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: the bond market much longer. No, I think they're in 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: the sleeping You guys were talking about that. Yeah, they 18 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: got their blankets, you know, they pull it up, they 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: get that little pillow out from Tim. I'm so glad 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: that you could join us. I don't know if you 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: saw that the Feds Jim Bullard came out today and 22 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: said that there's no need to discuss the Fed's balance sheet. 23 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: People have been talking about when the Federal stopped reinvesting, 24 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: what they get from their four point five trillion dollars 25 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: of investments that they're holding. Um, what's your take on this? 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: Do you think that they're going to have to talk 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: about it given the amount of money that they're receiving 28 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: from bonds being paid out and maturing. Yeah, I think 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: they're going to have to talk about it. Um, the 30 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: feds balance sheet has got trillions of dollars of Treasury 31 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: securities on it. In simple terms, the bond market believes 32 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: that all those bonds that are on the Fed's balance 33 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: sheet are permanently out of circulation. They're never going to 34 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: come back into circulation. So Bullet is saying, and what 35 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: Bill Dudley has said and some others have said, be 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: very very careful when you talk about reintroduced those bonds 37 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: back into the market, because then you could have a 38 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: shock in the market if they believe that. We have 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: to make room and private accounts now you know, banks 40 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: and and endowments and trusts inspectative accounts for trillions of 41 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: dollars of securities which are locked away, which we think 42 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: is forever in the Fed's balance sheet, can be very disruptive. 43 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: To date, I don't think the market has listened much 44 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: to that conversation because it's not going to until the 45 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: two big architects of the balance sheet, Bill Dudley and 46 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: Janet yell And speak on the subject. And they haven't. 47 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: And now that Bullard has come out on the other side, 48 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: it's going to reinforce that idea that man, that's just 49 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: Fed talk. We don't really have to listen to it. 50 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: Do you think we have to listen to it? I mean, 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: aren't the mandates for the FED. Price stability and employment 52 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with protecting people against bond losses. Right? 53 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: Price stability is another word for inflation. Since two thousand nine, 54 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: when the recession ended, the Great Recession ended, what have 55 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: we not had is inflation. So when the FED has 56 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: this giant sheet and they run these extreme policies, they're 57 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: allowed to get away with it, if you will, because 58 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: we haven't had inflation. Now you get Donald Trump being elected, 59 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: and you see consumer confidence at the seventeen year high, 60 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: you see business optimism at forty year high. You see 61 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: all of these numbers going through the roof, the stock 62 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: markets at a new high, and there's talk of reflation, 63 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: and part of that reflation talk is inflation as opposed 64 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: to real growth. Maybe now, for the first time in 65 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: seven years, eight years, we might actually get a pulse 66 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: out of inflation, and it might force the Fed to 67 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: have to deal with that. Up until now, they could 68 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: just discuss ignore, you know, you know, trying out smart 69 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: everybody about it, but they didn't have to do anything 70 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: about it. But if we get inflation, they do have 71 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: to start thinking about it. Jim, I don't know if 72 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: you caught this, but yesterday Black Rocks Larry Fink was 73 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: talking about his outlook on the bond market, and he 74 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,559 Speaker 1: said that he actually thinks that there's a higher likelihood 75 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: of the ten year Treasury yelled going down from here, 76 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: possibly going below two, rather than rising. So it sort 77 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: of goes against this idea that we're actually going to 78 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: see some inflation. I actually do agree with that. I 79 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: think that the problem is, and this gets into the 80 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: technicals of the bond market, I think we're going to 81 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: see a bump up in inflation and I think that 82 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: by two eighteen we're going to see higher yields. Now, 83 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: that is the most consensus thing you can say, so 84 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: much so that almost everybody in the bond market is 85 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: positioned for that. So if the market does go to 86 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: three percent by the by the spring of next year, 87 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: everybody makes money. And it was we found with contrarian opinion. 88 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: When everybody's lined up one way in the market, it 89 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: tends to go the other way. So that's why I 90 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if we do go below two percent. 91 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: Like Larry said, first question, that idea that there's going 92 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: to be inflation, and then we have the big rise 93 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: of rates after that going and you know, finding out 94 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: that Yett was there. It's just the problem is everybody's 95 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: positioned for it right now, and usually when that happens, 96 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: the market has a tendency to go the other way. 97 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: So if every if everyone's wrong and the market goes 98 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: the other way, who's going to suffer the biggest losses? 99 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: And will this be something that everyone's talking about how 100 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: there's a lot of hurt going on. Yeah, I think 101 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: that you know right now, if you were to look 102 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: at who is the biggest bet on rates going to 103 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: three percent. It's the more speculative hedge fund accounts by 104 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: some of the measures in the futures market. And uh 105 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: they have the biggest short position ever ever in the 106 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: in the bond market, betting on higher rates because they 107 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: think Trump is going to bring back a reflation. They're 108 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: on the firing line that they're going to be the 109 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: most hurt by some kind of a fall in interest 110 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: rates as opposed to arise. Jim, how long can they 111 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: hold that position until the leverage starts to hurt? Oh? 112 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: I think that if you start pushing rates down, you know, 113 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: run under say twenty We're around two thirty four right now, 114 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: right and we were at highest to sixty in mid December, 115 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: so we're halfway there. I think that that's when the 116 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: pain threshold will start to kick in, and then as 117 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: you go underneath two it really kick in. Well, I 118 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: thought about the spread though. I'm looking at the spread. 119 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: Let's say the two ten uh spread one point one 120 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: seven on the two year and the as you just said, 121 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: the tenure two point three eight, so one, you know, 122 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: one one versus two and a quarter, right, I think 123 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: that you know, as you were to push the tenure 124 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: down to two twenty or maybe down to two, you 125 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: would see the YEO curve spread you write it's one seventeen, 126 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: probably continue to narrow two and that would not bold 127 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: well for financial stocks. And they've actually hit a little 128 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: bit of turbulence yere recently because a wider spread they 129 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: borrow shortland long benefits them and a narrow spread would 130 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: hurt them. So if if everybody's two lined up for 131 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: three percent rates, which would be good for the banks, 132 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: and we wind up going to two, they could stumble 133 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: in that environment as well. Okay, so let's say what 134 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: what happens that you just said, Let's say it plays 135 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: out or all of a sudden, you've got yields on anten, 136 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: your treasury is plunging against everybody's senses. Mortgage rates do 137 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: you think that they could continue to rise despite this 138 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: or they also fall in tandem? I mean, are they 139 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: basically linked at the hip at this point? Um? No, 140 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: I think mortgage rates would there. They would fall on 141 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: an absolute basis, but I would agree with you that 142 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 1: the spread would white. They would not fall as much 143 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: as treasuries would fall. Uh, So they wouldn't the couple 144 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: all the way that one would go up in the 145 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: other would would go down. And and I think that 146 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: the reason that mortgage rates would fall is one thing 147 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: the FED is working off of. There is the mortgage 148 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: holdings are really working off their balance sheet fast. That 149 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: means they're more in private sector. If we do get 150 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: a reflation and that does get a bump up in 151 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: housing starts and in refinancing, you could seem demand for 152 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: mortgages and that could also keep their rates um higher 153 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: than they would from a treasury, So you could see 154 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: the widening spread. That's really interesting. So even if we 155 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: see treasury yields decline, borrowing costs for people who are 156 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: looking to borrow money to by a house might stay elevated. 157 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Jim Bianco, always a pleasure speaking 158 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: with you, President and founder of Bianco Research, longtime veteran 159 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: of the bond market. Expecting that just like Larry Fink 160 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: of Black Rock thinks possibly it's more likely for tenure 161 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: treasure yields to fall before they rise. We've been talking 162 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: a lot about the anti globalist trend, uh the populist 163 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: wave that we've seedwash over really the entire world. We 164 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: haven't heard as much about what this will do for travel, 165 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: But now we have someone who can give us some insight. 166 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: Alex Sosiah, chief executive officer of Apple Leisure Group, which 167 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: is based in Philadelphia. Alex, do you have a sense 168 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: that people will try novel less internationally given the populist 169 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: backdrop in sort of the anti globalist sentiment that we've seen. Yeah, 170 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: thank you. I I am concerned about that. What we 171 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: see the trends in the short term is that we 172 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: have stronger numbers for Americans traveling outside of the country, 173 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: particularly to Mexico and the Caribbean, versus a year ago 174 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: for traveling within this year, but it could be affecting 175 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: soon if the territory continues to be the one to 176 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: protect protectionism and uncertainty of what's going on in the 177 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: airports and stuff like that. So, yeah, it is a 178 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: concern that we have, although the big trends still shows 179 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: very positive. Well, you've been doing this for what thirty 180 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: more than thirty years? Can you sort of run down 181 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: for us the destinations where you think investments at least 182 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: in the actual infrastructure of hospitality our best our best 183 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: looked at, whether it is Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, where 184 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: would you look. Yeah, well, that's the places that we're looking, 185 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: that we're investing. And indeed, the places that you mentioned 186 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: now that we are UH totally focused on on resorts, 187 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: and on the resorts, the most profitable destinations happen to 188 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: be the ones that have the biggest connectivity, the best 189 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: natural resources, are lowest payroll, and and and and the 190 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: avocation of tourism, particular to certain American tourism, the American 191 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: tourism UM oriented destinations are the most profitable ones. And yes, 192 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: the beaches in Mexico and Country Amaya, Loscaos, Portoa, that 193 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: all those are great places. But also in the Caribbean 194 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: there's great there. There are great opportunities at Jamaica, UH 195 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: Talks and Cacos. Domerican Republic is growing very rapidly and 196 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: with great returns. And and then we see opportunities in 197 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: Central America, not just in contact in Costa Rica that 198 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: it's been there for a longer period of time, but 199 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: now we see emerging places in UH in Panama as well, 200 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: hopefully so Nicaragua. And then we go south place like Colombia, 201 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: it's also growing very rapidly with good returns and and 202 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: good respond and great customer satisfaction Alex. In addition to 203 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: some of the protection as to rhetorict that we've globally, 204 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: there also is this feeling that generally people are feeling 205 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: better about their economic wherewithal, particularly in the United States. 206 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: Are you seeing that sort of trickle into plans for 207 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: more expensive vacations or just more vacation plans in general. Yes, 208 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: of course we see that that that that of course 209 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: helps a lot. People are feeling better. The prices of 210 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: flying outside of the United States in general is is 211 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: cheaper than before. We have a tropic about four to 212 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: the destination that we work with versus a year ago. 213 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: So I think that the Americans are seeing more value 214 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: for the morning one side and the other side. They 215 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: are comfortable with their um with the with the overall economy, 216 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: and I think that obviously helps the people to travel 217 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: and we seek that. We see the number of new 218 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: passports issuing in the United States now at fifteen million 219 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: per year, about fifty percent or those so seven point 220 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: seven seven point five million are reissuing passports renewals. But 221 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: the other side point five our brand new passports. So 222 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: in ten years you're talking about almost eighty million new 223 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: passports in the United States, and it's still only forty 224 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: percent of the population. We still have sixty percent of 225 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: population in the United States without passports. So I do 226 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: see a big trend of people getting passports, getting passports 227 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: of course to travel outside of the country. And the 228 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: biggest region that it's utilize for the utilization of those 229 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: passports is a Mexican and Caribbean. So I see a 230 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: big growth, a big trends traveling internationally. It's becoming more 231 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: for everyone, more a commodity. But within those experienced travelers, 232 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: certainly they're spending more money and looking more sophistication. There's 233 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: also much better product. Well, when you talk about product, 234 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: alex I wonder if you could tell us is there 235 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity for an investor in Mexico. Are there hotel 236 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: projects that are looking for investors that maybe have been 237 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: stymied because of the change or the parent change in 238 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: policy because of the Trump administration. I don't, I don't. 239 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't think that because of the Trump administration has 240 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: slowed down any of the projects that are down there. 241 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: But certainly there's always an opportunity for American investors to 242 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: go and invest in in places in Mexico or you know, 243 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: or in other destinations in the Caribbean. In this case, Uh, 244 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 1: the American investors. In the case of our company, we 245 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: just had KKR and CASEL investing big time in our company. Uh, 246 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: they're being very shy so far. The Americans have not 247 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: very active in this In this sector is mainly dominant 248 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: by regional and local investors as well as European investors. 249 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: So there's not so much activity so far for the 250 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: for the for the for the U S investors and 251 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: particularly for the U S banks to participate in the 252 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: leisure sector. On the hospitality in Mexico. But I see 253 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: a lot more appetite and a lot more oppenness of 254 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: going and compete and start investing there. So I don't 255 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: see any projects slowing down. H. But what I do 256 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: see is a create opportunity to spit that up. We 257 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: gotta leave it there. I want to thank you very much, 258 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: Alex Dosiah.

You know who did some innovation. Theresa May, 269 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. She innovated by convincing 270 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: the Parliament to uh pass her plan to exit the 271 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: europe Pian Union. It comes with a catch, though. Let's 272 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: stay a little bit more into that with Sarah Jane Mahmoud, 273 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: government analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence in London. So, Sarah, can 274 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: you first just give us a rundown on what exactly 275 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: Parliament past giving Theresa May the ability to go ahead 276 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: and start the process of excuting the European Union. Hi? There, Yes, sure, 277 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: And so yesterday and MP's in the House of Commons 278 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: passed the bill that gives Raiser May permission to activate 279 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: Article fifty of the Lisbon Treaty, effectively kickstarting exit talks 280 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: for Brexit with EU leaders and however she doesn't have 281 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: a free pass as yet because the bill now goes 282 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: to the House of Lords. I'm who from the twentieth 283 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: of February will start considering whether or not Traiser May 284 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: can activate Article fifty by the end of March as 285 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: she wants to. What is the outlook for the House 286 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: of Lords vote? Um, Well, the House of Lords um 287 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: mainly opposed to activating Article fifty and to Brexit. However, 288 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: as they're an unelected body, they would be unlikely to 289 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: block the bill itself, but they could take their time 290 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: to consider it and make possible amendments, for example, make 291 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: the activation of Article fifty contingent on the government considering 292 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: staying in the European Economic Area or securing continued access 293 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: to the EU Single Market for UK based financial services companies. 294 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: So in other words, um, this might become a pretty thorny, 295 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: sticky issue. Just because this means that Theresa May can 296 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: start the process, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will 297 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: speed it up by any means, and it sort of 298 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: remains to be seen whether Parliament will work with her 299 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: on some kind of constructive basis to get through a 300 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: plan that is palatable for for everybody involved exactly. I mean, 301 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: it's likely that the House of Lords will ultimately pass 302 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: the bill allowing the government to activate Article fifty um. 303 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: And it's also likely that because tres and May wants 304 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: to activate Article fifty start exit talks of the leaders 305 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: by the end of March, a self imposed deadline. Um. 306 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: I think ultimately she wants to do this during the 307 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: next European Council meeting that's set for March the ninth, UM. 308 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: So she's hoping that the bill will get approval before them. Sarah, 309 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: you know, just assooming out a little bit as as 310 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: a member as somebody who lives in London. How has 311 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: the conversation changed. I mean, when you go out to dinner, 312 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: you go to the pub, is everybody still talking about 313 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: Brexit and Brexit negotiations? So people still care? Are they 314 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: paying close attention to all of these machinations or are 315 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: they kind of separating themselves from it, kind of assuming 316 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: that things are going to keep going. I mean, I think, 317 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: to be honest, there is a lot of Brexit fatigue 318 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: at the moment um in professional and social circles. But 319 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: a key issue looking at the financial services sector is 320 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: whether or not banks fund managers, insurers, payment service providers 321 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: and more. M can continue to access the EU market 322 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: at once the UK exits the EU, which gift RAISU 323 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: may can activate Article fifty by the end of March. UM. 324 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: It would be likely the UK would leave the European 325 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: Union around about April two thousand and ninety. What are 326 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: people in London worried about losing their jobs? I think 327 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: that there is a big concern that many financial institutions 328 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: are likely to move their operations into another EU member state. UM. 329 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: But I guess until there's more clarity, until Article fifty 330 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: is activated and negotiations start taking place, UM, there's just 331 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: a lot of uncertainty here. How does passporting relate directly 332 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: to the sales that financial companies currently enjoy? Okay, So 333 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: under the passporting regime, the companies financial services companies that 334 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: are based in the UK, regardless of where they are incorporated. UM, 335 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: they have free access to over twenty seven European countries, 336 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: and they're allowed to establish a branch or provide cross 337 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: border services without needing local authorization in every single country, 338 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: and they generally only have to comply with one rule 339 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: book rather than up to twenty eight for example, um 340 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: Tresa May's plan is basically a hard Brexit, which means 341 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: to leave the EU without continued access to the Single Market, 342 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: or rather continued membership of the Single Market. Um So 343 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: with that passporting rights would be lost and financial services 344 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: companies that have their base in the UK would need 345 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: to seek alternative ways to access the EU market. Now, 346 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: the white paper that the government published last week didn't 347 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: really give any clarity on what special deal they're looking 348 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: to to make with EU leaders, and similarly EU leaders 349 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: won't really show their cards and they won't indicate what 350 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: they might be able to offer the UK until Article 351 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: fifty is activated. I want to thank you very much 352 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: for your insight in your time. Sarah Mahmwood is a 353 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: government analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence based in London. Of course, 354 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Intelligence providing unique in real time research in a 355 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: variety of industries and also government as well as market 356 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: factors that affect business. Just type B I go on 357 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: the Bloomberg to get all of that Bloomberg Intelligence research. 358 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: You know, every time I see that a bank or 359 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: firm is moving their operations out of London elsewhere in 360 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: the in the United the European Union or the U S. 361 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: I have to think, is this because of Brexit? Is 362 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: this become of Brexit? But perhaps perhaps it's just people 363 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: are sitting and waiting. I guess we'll have to say 364 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: it could be. I want to call on Sharudi sing, 365 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: our agriculture Companies reporter for Bloomberg News, joining us from Chicago. Sharudi, 366 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm wonder if you could describe for US an industry 367 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: that many people may not know the details of but 368 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: are the recipient of. This is the meat packing industry, 369 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: and uh, maybe you could give us the sort of 370 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: rundown on how a steak actually arrives on the plate 371 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: of a diner and how that is connected to foreign policy. Sure, absolutely, 372 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: so good to be with you. Um, the meat industry 373 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: in the US UM employs a lot of different people, 374 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: and um, it's it's a long supply chain that starts 375 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: with a farmer that you're talking specifically about steak. You've 376 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: got farmers who raise cows and calves. Those cattle go 377 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: onto feed lots, and then those cattle that are battened 378 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: up at feed lots then eventually go to the meat 379 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: packing plants. And the meat packing plants are where we 380 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: have a number of different types of workers. They're one 381 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: of the larger segments is the immigrant population. Particularly over 382 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: the last few decades, the immigrant workers increased um and 383 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: more recently, in the last decade or so, we've seen 384 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: refugees become a fixture in these plants. So, shrewd I 385 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: was just looking at your story and you say that 386 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: immigrants hold more than one third of these jobs in 387 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: the United States and wondering, shrewdly from your sources, what 388 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: are you hearing as far as what recent immigration policies 389 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: and proposals, what effect they would have on their business? Well, 390 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: right now, I think a lot of the companies are 391 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: monitoring the situation that when we talk to some of 392 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: the industry groups, um, they're telling us that they want 393 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: the administration to really um consider what ramifications the policy 394 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 1: changes would have on businesses as well as the foreign 395 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: born workers. Well, I wonder if you could get the 396 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: details for us in terms of the companies affected, Tyson, 397 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: for example, Cargil, j B S. Are they all exposed equally. Well, 398 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: you know, one area that we looked at was Fort 399 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: Morgan in Colorado, where Cargill has a large beef plant, 400 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: and that is an area where UM, there are a 401 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: lot of immigrants and a lot of UM refugees that 402 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: are working in that particular plant where there are these 403 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: people from. Just to give us as much detail as 404 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: you have, sir, so, Cargill actually told us that about 405 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: twelve percent of the employees at the Fort Morgan beef 406 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: plant come from East Africa. UM. And a lot of 407 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: these workers have come for a variety of different reasons, 408 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: but UM. You know, one of the ways that they 409 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: can find employment UM in the US through placement agencies, 410 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: has been at these plants. And over the last decade, 411 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: Cargill and other meat packers have relied on or had 412 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: turned to refugees as a source of UM a labor 413 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: pool basically, and UM. Even so, Cargill has told us 414 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: that it is still a challenge to be able to 415 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: fully staff those plants. And just to give you a 416 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: little bit of an idea, Cargil Fort Morgan plant in 417 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: Colorado UM starts workers at an hourly wage about fourteen 418 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: dollars and nineties cents, and that's about higher than Colorado's 419 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: minimum wage, and they offer health care and benefits. But UM, 420 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: it's still a challenge for Cargill to fully staff that plant. 421 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: So UM to play devil's advocate, somebody could say, well, 422 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: the reason why they can't find enough people to fill 423 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: those jobs is because it's a difficult job and it's 424 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: one that people aren't drawn to you unless they're paid 425 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: substantially more. And you know, there's a question of would 426 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: they be paying even higher wages and employing a sort 427 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: of broader range of people if they didn't have access 428 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: to people who were escaping war zones. I mean, I'm 429 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: just wondering, is that is that really what's going on here? 430 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Because before two six, right, they there were a lot 431 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants UM that these plants employed, and after 432 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: a crackdown, they turned to refugees. So one person we 433 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: talked to who tracks refugew resettlement program really carefully, she 434 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: actually suggested that maybe the meat packers UM could draw 435 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: for Native born applicants for these particular jobs and these 436 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: meat packing plants if they raised their wages. And then 437 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: she even acknowledged that, you know, that could potentially lead 438 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: to higher prices for consumers, but she said, you know, 439 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: I'd be happy to eat less meat. Well, I want 440 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: to thank you very much for being with us A 441 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: Sharudi Sing is our Agriculture Companies reporter, joining us from Chicago. 442 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Bloomberg P and L podcast. 443 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: You can subscribe and listen to interviews at iTunes, SoundCloud, 444 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: or whatever podcast platform you prefer.
