<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg dot Com, and of course, on the Bloomberg terminal.

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>He has been the big winner of the last eighteen months.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Michael Wilson, chief US equity strategist at Morgan Stanley, was

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>out front with a cute week to week talk about

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>a bear market, and then up in June, down again,

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and now up again. An important conversation, John, why don't

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you lead off with Mr Wilson? I think we could

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>have got to mix Chrystal Bull Mike. I think the

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 1>code of the year wasn't the code of the start

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>of the year. It was that tactical rally, that buddish

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>cool you made about a month or sub ago, and

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Mike were seen it play out, and I think we're

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>all wondering whether you said it's much more upside from here. Well,

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>thanks John, good to see you guys, And look, I

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean we talked about this the last time. I

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>was on the tactical rally. I felt like the move

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to four thousand was was pretty much in the cards,

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and then we said, look, we don't know if we're

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna get another level to this. If it's going to happen,

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna need rates to come in further. Uh. And

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>that's what That's what's happening now, and it's gonna be

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>probably led by you know, the NASDAC and also the

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>you know stocks that are most heavily shorted as rates

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>come down along duration plays and that's exactly what we

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>saw yesterday. And so we have more confidence that this

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>rally will continue into December. It's not gonna be easy

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>because I want to make it clear, as we said

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>last time as well, it's still a bear market. Um,

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>these things are tricky, but we have to try and

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>trade these. When you get moves to go against you,

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to miss it. And sometimes we get

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>it right. Sometimes we know this one we did. So

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we're we think it can extend here. Now, we think

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>rates will go lower. We think you know, Polle's commentaries

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>right in line with what we've been saying, which is

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to pause probably in January. And the

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>market is getting in front of that, and this is

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>a this is a classic uh you know, kind of

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>uh kind of bed pause stock market rally and then

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>ultimately you think we get beaten around the head with

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Paul earnings as we got into three. Now, Mike, I'm

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>going to read you a quote and it reads as follows.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Previous slows and equity markets are likely to be retested

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>as there may be a significant decline in corporate earnings.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>We're inclined to think that this market decline could happen

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>between now and the end of the first quarter of three. Now,

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>if someone gave me that quote, Mike, I can't think

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>it was you, except it wasn't. It was JP Morgan's

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Marko Kolanovich yesterday. Now, Mike, you like to be contrarian,

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you have been through much of this year. I have

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to say that view now of early twenty three earnings

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>risk is almost consensus. Mike, How are you thinking about

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>it as we go into a new year. Yeah, I mean,

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>like you know, you can say for other people too.

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Were all trying to, you know, stand out with something

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, insafeful or different, and you're right, I mean,

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>our our call this year now has become pretty much

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.079
<v Speaker 1>concerned it's this that. But that's why we flipped in

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>in October quite frankly, as we felt like that call,

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the fire and ice call right fed tightening into a

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>slowdown became consensus. Now we see kind of this idea

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>that we're gonna make a lower low in the first quarter.

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's quite consensus yet. But I tell

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you what's not consensus is this taxble rally, Okay, that

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>we watched that you know, our competitors, we watch touch

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:24.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot of clients to try and get a sense

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>for where that sentiment is. And I would say this

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>is one of the most hated bear market rallies that

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 1>I can recall, even more so than this summer. So

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I think the right set up now is this rally

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>will go further and we'll probably drag people back into

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking that the bear market is over, and then that

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>will be part of the signal for us to kind

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of press on the other side again. Pushing again, staid

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>perhaps Mike, and this goes to Allen Setner and maybe

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>jobs day tomorrow is what inflation does, what the economy does?

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>What are your analysts and Morgan Stanley say about the

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>mystery of revenue growth at the top line next year,

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and if you get better revenue growth because of high

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>nominal GDP, how does that redound upon margins. Yeah, this

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>has been an ongoing debate we've had with clients since

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>really April. Uh, you know, we were out in front

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>on earnings disappointing at some point into twenty three. And

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>but it does contrast with this idea that we have

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 1>in a nominal world. Uh, you know GDP. Nomenal GDP

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.919
<v Speaker 1>is probably gonna stay positive next year, even if we

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>have a recession. You know, Ellen's forecast next year is

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>for not a recession, but basically zero percent real growth,

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna feel like a recession. What's your point

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>if you get you know, if inflation is still positive,

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you can have positive revenue growth. We have that baked

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>into our numbers time when in other words, our base

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>case a D nine dollars next year assumes if we

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 1>still have positive revenue growth about three percent due to

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you nominal GDP staying in positive territory. But it all

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>comes down to margins. And this is the part of

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the story that we think is underappreciated by a lot

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>of investors, which is, you know, inflation is what drove

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>profits higher, and so as inflation comes down next year,

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>as we're forecasting we have inflation going back towards to

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>two two three by the end of the next year.

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>That's actually bad for equities, good for bonds, but bad

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>for equities because it's going to crush margins. And this

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>is the story that we think is once again under

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 1>appreciate the negative operating leverage that we're seeing in business

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>models as companies scrambled for supply six eight months ago

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and over higher. That has to be you know, run

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>through the income statement now and that's gonna be the

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna what that's gonna be what makes the low

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>in the first and second quarter. So I would say

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>where people are maybe catching up on the earning story,

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're bearish enough in terms of this

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>margin degradation. Mike, you said that there perhaps could be

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>a trough of three thousand and thirty two hundred in

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the first quarter of next year as we do get

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>that reality check from earnings, have the recent data with

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 1>respect to the latest CPI, with respect to some of

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 1>the other metrics that people are seeing a softening in

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>and that we're hearing a change in tone from the

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>rhetoric of J. Pow perhaps yesterday. Have you changed that view?

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Does that seem further away in terms of that fair

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>case scenario? Well, once in in, I mean the bearcase

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>scenario assumes we have probably a modest recession next year.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>And in that scenario, all we're all that happens is

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>revenue growth goes flat, maybe maybe slightly negative, but that

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>will make the negative operating leverage even worse. And so

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a hundred eighty dollars and earnings next year. So

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>with a hundred eighty dollars and earnings next year, you know,

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>three thousand is not is not really a stretch. So look,

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't you know, we don't have a crystal ball. Unfortunately,

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>I wish I did. In terms of what I'm most

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>uncertain about is the timing of this. You know, we

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 1>thought it could have actually happened in the fourth quarter

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>of this year, needing these earnings revisions, and that's one

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons we flipped positive in octobers. We felt

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>like it's gonna be pushed out and that's what's happening.

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't get pushed out further into the middle of next year. Yes,

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>do we think we can avoid it? No, so we're

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, we think at a minimum will take out

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 1>thirty sometime in the first half of next year. And yes,

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>that bearcase, unfortunately is alive, and that's three thousand. In

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the meantime, let's get one final call from you. What

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>would you buy and hold right now? Got into your rend?

0:06:58.520 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>What would it be? And it could be a wife

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>in the index she's how may Yeah, well, I think

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it's bonds. I mean like we're you know, I think

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>that that that if you think about bear markets that

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>are punctuated by a either economic or earnings recession, we

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna get at least one of those, the

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>earnings recession, the CE. The sort of order of operations

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 1>is very clear. You want to buy a cat, you

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>want to be cashed first, then you want to buy

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>treasuries long duration, then you want to buy credit, and

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you want to buy equities last. So you know, we're

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>already a lot already overweight cash. So front end cash

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>or you own back end treasuries. Now for a trade, Okay,

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>we think it's Nasdaq or you know, long duration stocks

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>will will like that move in rates lower. It's but

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>that's more speculative. That's for the training community, I think

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>for the investment community and for asset owners it's basically

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 1>bonds might just phenomenal. Thanks for your time and let's

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>catch up before year Rent, Mike Wilson, what we news

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>dive into this with Joy and Rochester? G turn effect

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>strategist number. I'm gonna ask one question here and how

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>do you not lose money? And then John's going to

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 1>pick it up and the currency dynamics you just mentioned.

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Rochester, you, like every adult out there, uses a

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>thing like stop losses. You've been enjoying being stopped out

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>of trades right now explained to our audience why it's

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>amateur our If you don't have stops, well, I don't

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>enjoy being stopped out, Tom, but they're absolutely essential to

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>your risk management. I think with the FTX scandal that

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the ANAMDA bragged that they didn't have stop losses,

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's quite clear what can happen if you don't.

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 1>But look what's happening in the markets, Tom, how to

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>avoid losing money? Here is the markets looking at US

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>energy prices. They've cooled off year on year, that leads

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 1>PPI producer prices lower, that leads headline inflation with a

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>lag lower. So it's quite hard to see reasons why

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the Fed would get suddenly more hawkish, especially after Chair

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Pal's speech last night signaling that slow down to fifty

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>basis points. You had a green light from the Fed

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.199
<v Speaker 1>chair last night to sell the dollar and by risk appetite,

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's why you've seen the NaSTA cup over four

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:12.199
<v Speaker 1>percent yesterday. In ffex Tom, the correlations between foreign exchange

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and interest rates have really dropped off a cliff. The

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>most predominant fact that's driving everything right now is where

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>global equities are going. So I'm currently long euro dollar.

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.719
<v Speaker 1>We do have a stop on that round one oh one,

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>one oh one seventy, but I think that's gonna go

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>towards one oh eight. I think that's gonna be something

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>that could go towards one ten in the new year

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.439
<v Speaker 1>because of what's happening in China, because the low energy

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>prices we've seen over recent weeks in Europe as well,

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>helping boost European production. So that risk on sentiment that

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>you see in equities feeds directly to the dollar. Now

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>does that famous spider meme spider man meme on Twitter

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>where everyone points at each other blaming each other surveillance.

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>So as EFEX guys say it's equities driving everything, empty

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>guys say it's effects. Well, I just the main point

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I would say is if you think that this risk

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>on carry on in the SMP five hundred, it means

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the dollars will continue to weaken into your end and

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you play that through the Euro. Where does Sterling fit in? Well,

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>we had short Sterling Swiss on because we thought we

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 1>needed some RV to hedge are sort of risk one position.

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Sterling Swiss had been less correlated to the equity market

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>than of of acrosses. But you can't ignore that Swissy

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.599
<v Speaker 1>is a risk off hedge. So what's happen is we

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>got stopped at that short Sterling Swiss, not because we

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>had some amazing news out of the UK, but for

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>two reasons. One, everybody agreed with the trade, and that

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>always tells you that everyone's position the same way as you.

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 1>And to risk one, Sterling always does well when the

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>equity markets rally. It's very rare that it doesn't. Only

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>during Brexit. Really did we see that change in so

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>for the likes of sterling, we think that you could

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>climb towards one by the end of next year. And

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>in these markets, guys, we're seeing big moves and dolly

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and for example, four four big figures in just twenty

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>four hours. You know, one is not that big of

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>a push to see earlier if we have more good news.

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>But based on what we know right now, it's gonna

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.559
<v Speaker 1>be a slow grind higher. It's hard for me to

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>see any of this other than a big dollar story.

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And everyone else is coming along and rationalizing it in

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 1>some way or another. I mean, it was pretty much

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>all of the major currency pairs were really big gainers

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>in the past month versus the dollar, and our people

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>getting ahead of themselves with this idea of fading inflation

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>and a fair that's going to somehow respond to that.

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, could this really whips are in the other direction?

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Based on positioning, I think it really cood li SA

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>But not now. That's that's problem markets. We could have

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.439
<v Speaker 1>a view about what could happen in Q two or

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Q three next year, but the markets don't trade that

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>just yet. Sometimes, and I think the risks are for

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>all my leading indicators for inflation in the US, they

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>all point down. There's none of them pointing up. I

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>can't really say, oh my god, watch out for this

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>inflation risk. Look at this chart. They're all pointing to

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>lower entery prices, lower inflation. Therefore, you can say CPI

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>has peaked, and it's quite clearly peaked. We're looking for

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>no point three pc on the core again month on month.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.599
<v Speaker 1>Namura was the only team, the economics team in the

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>US to get that number right last month. So if

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>they get that right again and we have another nor

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>point three or even lower, it's kind of hard for

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the dollar to rally. But let's look to next year.

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>We could have in Q two China's reopen. Q three

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>we start to feel the impact of that in energy markets,

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and the FED doesn't cut rates. Perhaps that's the risk

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.200
<v Speaker 1>we think they will, But the risks are we have

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>a wave of energy inflation again next year in Q

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>three as energy markets tighten up and demand comes back,

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and that could change the narrative quite a lot. So

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>right here, right now, I don't think we're getting ahead

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 1>of ourselves. I think the dollar can can continue to

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>weaken against the euro at least and that should feed

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 1>free to risk on another G ten crosses toward. One

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>reason why I love reading our reports is because you've

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>got this confidence metric and you have, you know, three

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>out of five, five out of five. I remember back

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>when you were five out of five. Now you're three

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>out of five. How much are you seeing a lack

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>of conviction or pulling back or humility in some of

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>the positioning that you're seeing across effects as you sort

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 1>of sort out all of these uncertainties that are lying ahead. Well,

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a lot of uncertainty. What we tend

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>to have in this market is prices moving, make narratives.

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Narratives then drive research pieces, but fundamentals ultimately drive where

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>prices will be. Right now, the fundamentals are that we

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>could perhaps see software inflation therefore week or dollar. But

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.199
<v Speaker 1>we're getting to year end and a lot of accounts

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>were sat long dollar for most of this year, including

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>ourselves since February pretty much of of the year when

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Russia invaded Ukraine. Why wouldn't you be along the dollars?

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 1>So that trade is still being unwound in certain sectors,

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and that means perhaps everything we're seen right now is

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>just position reduction and no one really changing their optimism

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>for next year. For US, we think there's gonna be

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>recession risks. Usually when there's a recession the dollars as well.

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.199
<v Speaker 1>The problem is we start we're starting to see signs

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>of early rebounds in European p M mice for example,

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>China's credit impulses going up. So there are fundamental reasons

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>why you could see this risk and be sustained. You

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>just need hope to prevail. And we do have risk

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.679
<v Speaker 1>coming up. We've got OPEC next week, We've got the

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.679
<v Speaker 1>EU oil sanctions on Monday as well. That's twenty one

0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of the e use oil imports from Russia being sanctioned

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.679
<v Speaker 1>from Monday onwards. I'm not sure where they're going to

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.680
<v Speaker 1>get that one of their total oil imports from in

0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the next month, So there's there are certainly risks to

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.200
<v Speaker 1>this outlook. Jordan, you've got twenty seconds. Are you more

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>confident about your europe dollar call or England getting past

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Senegale later this weekend? I'm pretty comfroment the England team.

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we've had the US Gay game. USA game

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>was a bit boring, was like watching paint dry, But

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>what a fantastic Wales game and hopefully they'll bring that

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>back to the pitch. Should Jack Grayler should be playing more?

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 1>You're asking a Birmingham boy where the Jack really should

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>be playing more? I just already know what Jordan's going

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to say. I'm happy with him playing every game, at

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>least in the second half. He gets a showing you know,

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you've got one of the goals as well in the

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>first game of the World Cup. So this is fantastic

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>for Birmingham. And it's not just greedish. Now I've got

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to betting into He's grillish is on the urge of Gareth.

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he gets on the field and things happen.

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>He's great, a really classy player, Jordan Ranchester. During you

0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and World Cup, we're breaking it down city to city

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 1>where these players come from. Tim, You'll get into another level,

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>another level, thank you. I'm just doing it because of

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>our love. It's so deep. What we do every day

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>is our guests, and it starts and ends with the

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>research capabilities of vincent Reinhart, Assistant chair in green Span

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>over many many years at the Federal Drive US Melon

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Holding Court and important writings in the pandemic about the

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>state of our economy, vince Reinhart, just a general question

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>of a two hour conversation. Do you buy the idea

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>we're heading for recession? In your years with green Span,

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 1>were you able to predict a recession? Nobody really predicts

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 1>a recession. What you can say is there's an elevated

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 1>chance of it, just like you could say you have

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>an elevated chance of infection if you go into bad

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 1>places without a mask. Uh. There is an extremely elevated

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 1>chance of recession. Uh. And if you had to place

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 1>your money, I bet that within twelve months the economy

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>is in downturn. I look at this vents, and then

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I look at the parlor game of the FED, which

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 1>is now different than when you were holding court at

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the Echos building. And the basic idea here is there

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>gaming out a rate movement higher and then we are

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote going to figure out to pivot and guess

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>when that occurs. Have you ever seen anything like this

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 1>or is this mound territory? This? This is old style

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>monetary policy right now. Monetary policy is hard but simple.

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 1>It's hard in the sense they have to inflict point

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>pain on the economy to get inflation down. It's simple

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 1>because the strategy is, if you don't know what the

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 1>right neutral funds rate is, put it at a level

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you sure is restrictive, and then keep it there until

0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you have demonstrable evidence that in flaition is going back

0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to goal. So if you're not exactly sure how to

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>calibrate policy, don't put it at a plateau next year

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and just wait. That's what cheer pal poll is yesterday?

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that what he told us yesterday? Incidant, did you

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>hear perhaps a little bit more of a concession around

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.159
<v Speaker 1>perhaps moderating their stance in order to avoid a hard landing.

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't get how most of the headlines came out

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>of that UH remarks. Yesterday afternoon, he repeated his press

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>conference UH characterization, you were raising rates till we get

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 1>them to a level, and then we're going to keep

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>them there. He dismissed a lot of data with regard.

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't don't want to be on the other side

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:48.399
<v Speaker 1>of Mike's argument, but I think I have to be. Yesterday,

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Chair Pal said inflation moves around sometimes, UH, after good numbers,

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 1>bad numbers come out, so I think that they would

0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 1>down down Wait the pce ace part of this, and

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 1>then what he was saying was we've got to keep

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the pace of aggregate demand below that a trend, so

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 1>he should be worried about the spending part about it.

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.719
<v Speaker 1>This is not a good morning for the Fed. Well vincent.

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 1>This is really the key point. A lot of people

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.919
<v Speaker 1>are saying that there is a downward shift in inflation

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's coming at a pace that's surprising analysts that

0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:23.920
<v Speaker 1>this is good news, is going to allow the Fed

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to move away from some of the rate hikes and

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 1>even cut rights student than previously expected. Do you think

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.400
<v Speaker 1>people are getting ahead of themselves, that really those inputs

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 1>are not declining quickly enough and that they could even

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 1>re accelerate basis some of the rollover effects in areas,

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:41.359
<v Speaker 1>For example, I used cars, events always look bigger in

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the rear view mirror than they really are. I think

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:48.679
<v Speaker 1>there is a tendency to over over overweight this incoming information.

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Chare Pal said that yesterday. By the way, he said,

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 1>inflation ballattle. Sometimes after good readings, you get bad readings.

0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>He was basically telling us not to be so stressed

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>about it. Do I believe inflation is off its peak?

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely goods price inflation has come off the boil because

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:15.640
<v Speaker 1>supply chains have been been improving and market economies work

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 1>by bringing resources into sectors that are overheated. But it's

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.680
<v Speaker 1>spill over to service inflation. That's what you gotta worry about.

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what pals worried about, the durable part, part of

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 1>inflation that's still above the FED goal. Vincent reinhard Olivia,

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Blanchard reaffirmed higher level of inflation we can be comfortable with.

0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.359
<v Speaker 1>He went from four percent in the crisis of oh

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 1>eight oh nine down to something more like a three

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:48.400
<v Speaker 1>percent level. Is the new two percent without going into

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.679
<v Speaker 1>the details of the Blanchard essay and the ft, is

0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.880
<v Speaker 1>he onto something here which we are going to rationalize

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:59.400
<v Speaker 1>our way away from the two percent level. So yes

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and no. The the s part is back in the

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>mid nineties when central banks settled on a two percent

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:10.040
<v Speaker 1>inflation goal, it's not like they had a great conversation

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 1>about the costs and benefits of that long term goal.

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 1>And we know more about problems with the zero lower

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 1>abound and so we should have a serious discussion of

0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 1>what the right goal is In the United States. It's

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 1>got to inconclude the Congress by the way, because it's

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a Congress that's specifies price stability. That's my note part.

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't want to have a conversation with the Congress

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 1>about the federal reserves goals most times, certainly not in

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the next in the next two years. Moreover, it's one

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>thing to redefine the goal when you're succeeding. It's another

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:51.160
<v Speaker 1>thing to redefine the goal when you're failing. That that's

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>just base drift that you just can't do. It said,

0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:10.560
<v Speaker 1>that was really wonderful. Thank you, Meta net Reveala Ferokie

0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.639
<v Speaker 1>joins US now Chief US Economist with Carl Weinberg at

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 1>High Frequency Economics. Reveala, what is the distinction of what

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:21.919
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna hear Friday tomorrow at eight thirty What matters

0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to you and Carl? Good morning, Thanks for having me.

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 1>What we're really looking at beyond you know the usual

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you know the headline job numbers, at the participation rate,

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.359
<v Speaker 1>its wages, right. The chair Poud made it very clear

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.240
<v Speaker 1>yesterday what they're focusing on in terms of the inflation uh,

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, dynamics, and that is what we're going to

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 1>be looking at. We're looking for a very small deceleration

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:49.040
<v Speaker 1>but really very far above where the pre pandemic trend was,

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:51.399
<v Speaker 1>very far above with what the FED is saying is

0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:54.479
<v Speaker 1>consistent with the two percent inflation target. So you know,

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.440
<v Speaker 1>just definitely is going to be something we're focusing on,

0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:00.119
<v Speaker 1>but not something that we're going to see, uh, you know,

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.480
<v Speaker 1>imminent imminent improvement on either. I want to dovetail with

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the academic site. Guys, it's out there Rebelia and this

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:10.639
<v Speaker 1>is the academic saying maybe the labor partition just like

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>labor participation rate is not accurate because of the pandemic

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and older people retiring. Is this good math that we

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:24.720
<v Speaker 1>see Friday? I mean, we've seen that this adjustment right

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 1>post pandemic where you've seen access retirements. So we really

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be looking for the participation rate to improve too much.

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:36.040
<v Speaker 1>But if you remember, you know, before the pandemic, when

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:39.199
<v Speaker 1>the labor market was strong, job growth was strong, but

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:42.639
<v Speaker 1>people were coming back into the labor market. So what

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:45.360
<v Speaker 1>is the dynamic here? Is growth going to slow off

0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 1>slow enough that people will want to get back into

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the labor market. Are their savings going to diminish enough? Uh,

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, is the cushion from uh you know the

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:58.720
<v Speaker 1>income support that they've had, is that going to dissipate

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:00.359
<v Speaker 1>and they are going to be motivate do to come

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:03.199
<v Speaker 1>back into the labor market certainly a possibility, not our

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.680
<v Speaker 1>base case right now, not the first blase case certainly.

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.959
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you heard pout yesterday, that's not what

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 1>they are expecting to see. So I think those dynamics

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 1>that that both pandemic distortion is probably going to last

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>for some time. Really, you mentioned fed cher J. Powey

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 1>in his speech yesterday. Some people, a lot of people

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 1>thought that it was more devish than expected. At least

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:27.119
<v Speaker 1>he didn't come out with a hawkish rebud of some

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 1>of the gains that we've seen in the equity markets. However,

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to your point, he talked about the labor market tightness

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and how significant of a concern this is for him.

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 1>How much geth view that that is causing the FED

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.199
<v Speaker 1>to raise rates higher than the market is currently pricing.

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:45.679
<v Speaker 1>And even after yesterday's rally, even after yesterday's perhaps shift

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 1>slightly in tone from J Power. So you know, what

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I've heard from what he said yesterday is that higher

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 1>for longer, right, rates have to rise further. They don't

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 1>really know how restrictive because they don't really know where

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 1>that level is. But certainly we're going to move higher,

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:05.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, our base cases, they're going to go fifty,

0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 1>then another fifty in the first quarter, top out around five.

0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>But if the labor market does not start responding our

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.080
<v Speaker 1>base cases, it is right, I mean, five percentage points

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 1>of rate heights. We don't see how the economy doesn't

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:21.200
<v Speaker 1>respond to that. But if they, we don't see the

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>type of improvement we need to see, and we don't

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 1>see sustained easing ob wage pressures off of these levels,

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, four point seven percent to maybe three and

0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a half is then yes, certainly the there's this risk

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that rates move higher. But I think what markets really

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 1>need to understand is that the Fed does not want

0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to overtighten now because then crash the economy and then

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>come out on the other side and easy rates. So

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 1>they're going to go gradually. They're going to watch what's

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:49.479
<v Speaker 1>happening in you know, in response to what they've already

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 1>done so far, and then they're going to see how

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>long they need to stay there. We think that you know,

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:58.159
<v Speaker 1>they reach be great whatever that rate is in the

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:00.200
<v Speaker 1>first quarter, and then they stay there for the rest

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 1>of the year at least to see that sustained, you know,

0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:07.680
<v Speaker 1>improvement in inflation from slightly restrictive policy stands. People would

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 1>push back, including Ben Laidler, who says that if you

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:13.479
<v Speaker 1>look around, there is disinflation everywhere. Is there any area

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.200
<v Speaker 1>or that's not true? You're starting to see inflation starting

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 1>to re accelerate. Well, I mean what we've seen is

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 1>inflation readings right now are still not that far off peaks.

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, seven point seven on the CPI down from

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>nine pound point one percent, quite substantial, but still way

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:35.159
<v Speaker 1>above target for pc accelerating, they're going to see a

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 1>slight we expect to see a slightly sederation, but these

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.439
<v Speaker 1>are not levels that are consistent with you know, what

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the FIT wants to see. Yes, there are signs of disinflation,

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>but on the good sides of this, inflation is still

0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>very sticky. What Pow talked about in particular yesterday was

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.479
<v Speaker 1>that core services ex housing and that you know has

0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 1>a strong wage component to it. So adjustment in the

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:01.679
<v Speaker 1>labor market rebound, don't think it is necessary so that

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:05.120
<v Speaker 1>those which pressures can come under control, bitch will give

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:07.920
<v Speaker 1>them a little bit more room, you know, to sort

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of justice see where we're going from here. For a

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:12.960
<v Speaker 1>man who set that wasn't spice for nuance at the

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 1>last news conference, I have to say there was a

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of nuance yesterday had And why thought I didn't

0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>anticipate rebate a fantastic as always rebate Ferriki that of

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 1>high frequency economics. Somebody that was there when Mao took

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 1>over China was Robert Dahl. He's chief investment officer at Crossbark.

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 1>He's been doing this a few years along with me,

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and we're thrilled. He joins us in the studio. Uh,

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:39.480
<v Speaker 1>this morning, you got a little bit in your note there.

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 1>For the first time in fifty years, we've been this gloomy.

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 1>We've had this much gloom out there. And that's how

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 1>I make the joke back. But part of that is

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:53.760
<v Speaker 1>years in my history is when inflation moves, it moves

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.960
<v Speaker 1>suddenly to disinflation. Is that where we are right now?

0:26:57.200 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're quite there yet, Tom, unless you're

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 1>going to call acceptable or disinflation three or four percent um.

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we can get there with what we've done,

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>but not to nowhere close to two Okay, But not

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.200
<v Speaker 1>to two, but then we're there, and that means I've

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>got nominal g d P which helps corporate revenues. Yes,

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:19.880
<v Speaker 1>who are the survivors of a better corporate revenue? Given

0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:22.639
<v Speaker 1>an inflation milieu that you and I are the only

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 1>two that have ever lived. Given that we want some

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 1>pricing power, you've got to go to places where people

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.280
<v Speaker 1>can raise prices. We haven't been in that environment in

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a long long time. And I'm gonna tell Lisa You're

0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna love this. I used to go up and down

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the elevator in Boston with the giant Philip Curay, who

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Bob and I worship, did I think four? And Mr

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Kuray would and it is Mr Kay. Mr Kay would

0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:51.919
<v Speaker 1>talk about the bright lights of inflation. That's where we

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.399
<v Speaker 1>are now. So if we're gonna talk history, let's talk history,

0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and let's talk a half a century ago, which was

0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:59.679
<v Speaker 1>the last time that we saw three consecutive quarters of

0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 1>stock and bonds losing value together? What does history say

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and is it instructive in terms of what that means

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:10.159
<v Speaker 1>going forward? Well, first of all, the reason that happened

0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:13.600
<v Speaker 1>was the rapid adjustment. We had essentially zero inflation and

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.879
<v Speaker 1>zero interest rates not to exaggerate by much. Then all

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:19.919
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden it fits, Oh it's not transitory, and

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:21.680
<v Speaker 1>we got to get moving. And so we've had the

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 1>most rapid increase in FED funds, and you guys said

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 1>it a few minutes ago. The lag is impossible to

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:33.719
<v Speaker 1>predict about the impact of that, and so we're going

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 1>to have a slowing economy and that will help bring

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the inflation right down. The Fed's got it prey that

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the labor market quiets down. So one guest after another

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>has talked about flooding into treasuries, flooding into duration. Even

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Michaelson and Morgan Stanley comes out, what would you be

0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>buying the equity strategistic bonds? Right? I mean how much

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>do you lean into that versus step away and say,

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe people are overestimating how much inflation can drop. I think,

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Lisa that um owning some bonds is just fine. It's

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 1>zero at the beginning of the year. You didn't want

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 1>any When treasuries approach four on the tenure, we say

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you've gotta be nibbling away bonds. And we're not that

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>far from that now. So the old sixty forty is dead.

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 1>That we all preached a year ago. Not true anymore.

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Bonds have a place in the portfolio, especially if you

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 1>believe inflation is coming down to three or four. Forget

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the two for the moment, my theme for next year.

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>You're the only one breathing and remembers, especially coming up

0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 1>of years ago. Remember what is this to Bob and

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I remember whenever every wise guy in Manhattan said we

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>got to roll up the chemical industry, remember this, we

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:40.720
<v Speaker 1>all want mental for eighteen months and turned it into

0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 1>three companies or whatever. I'm talking about the great zombie

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:46.920
<v Speaker 1>roll up next year, where we de market between profit

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 1>making and cash flow making companies and everybody else. Do

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you agree with that that there's going to be a demarcation?

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:58.520
<v Speaker 1>So agree? And what that means more broadly, as fundamentals matter. Again,

0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:01.880
<v Speaker 1>when interest rates are zero row, they're artificially low, and

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you can't really say that the good guy wins from

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:09.320
<v Speaker 1>a stockbright standpoint. How did Sears last so long? The

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 1>answer is because they were given artificially low interest rates

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and that was tough for places like Target. Now in

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 1>this environment, the Targets will do well and the Seares

0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 1>will struggle. Explain to people that under duress corporations adjust.

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 1>How does that process actually happen. Yeah, it's slow because

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 1>they've been so used to zero inflation and exactly and

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 1>got used to operating in that sort of environment. This

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 1>is a different world now, and we come back to

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 1>can you raise your price? Can you attract customers and

0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:44.280
<v Speaker 1>keep them as your price rises? Look look at what's

0:30:44.280 --> 0:30:47.440
<v Speaker 1>happening in the steel stocks, for example. You mentioned chemicals,

0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:52.040
<v Speaker 1>early steeler poking their head up, and this is telling

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:54.960
<v Speaker 1>us where an environment where inflation is not going back

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:57.760
<v Speaker 1>to zero. I don't think the US steel is still x.

0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I haven't looked at that year. People are talking. People

0:31:01.120 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 1>are talking about how the real economy is getting its revenge.

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 1>That has been the theme for two and it's rearing

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:09.080
<v Speaker 1>its head, and that's why you're seeing the inflation under

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 1>underpinning some of these commodity sectors. How much does that

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>mean that the other areas that got bit up and

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:19.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking big tech in particular can't really come back in

0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the same kind of way and won't necessarily drive indexes

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to the same extent. I think you're onto it. We've

0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 1>obviously seen it this this past year, but I think

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 1>going forward, going to the same sort of issues. If

0:31:30.520 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 1>your company that is operating only on unit growth, your

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>unit growth going to be really strong to get you through.

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 1>And tech is mostly unit growth, I think they will

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>be a lagging sector. Again, what are your clients? What

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 1>are you cross mark out of Houston and you know

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 1>a nationwide and all that? Are they loaded up their

0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:49.800
<v Speaker 1>eyeballs in cash? What are they actually doing with their money? Yeah?

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>So people, people are asking a lot of questions. Too

0:31:52.200 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>many people are frozen, um, but they're making investments. You

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 1>have to hold their hand and draw them to the

0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:01.960
<v Speaker 1>horst of the water and saying let go get something

0:32:02.000 --> 0:32:05.520
<v Speaker 1>like that. It's something like that. But they're they're they're

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>they're they're doing something. They're doing more get educated and

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:11.240
<v Speaker 1>buying some alternatives, Like we have an equity market neutral

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 1>product that's getting some attention. You have an equity market

0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>neutral product. Yes, Bob do all the great Optimus, Thank
