This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 195 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 5: Good morning. 196 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 9: I'm Nathan Hager. 197 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 3: We're headed into a new trading week with stocks on 198 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 3: a three week losing streak, earning seasons winding down, Investor 199 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 3: focus is very much likely to turn to Jackson Hole 200 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: wyoming for the annual Central Bank meeting coming up at 201 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 3: the end of the week, but ahead of that, we're 202 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 3: joined this morning by Lori Calvacina, head of US Equity 203 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: strategy at RBC Capital Markets. Laurie, how much of a 204 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 3: focus is Jackson Hole for you? What are you going 205 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 3: to be listening for from the chairman? 206 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 7: Well, thanks for having me as always, and look, I 207 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 7: think it has to be a focus this week. It's 208 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 7: a pretty light data week otherwise, and as you mentioned, 209 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 7: earnings are winding down now that we learned all that 210 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 7: much from earnings to begin with, I think that our 211 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 7: rate strategist had not anticipated the Jackson Hole commentary as 212 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 7: being a big game changer. Nonetheless, it does feel like 213 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 7: markets are worried heading into it. I think there's a 214 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 7: concern that we might get some hawkish commentary, so I'm 215 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 7: really going to be listening to see if we actually 216 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 7: get that tone. I think that investors on the equity 217 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 7: side at least really want Chairman Powell to address this 218 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 7: idea of higher for longer, And the other concern that 219 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 7: we've seen percolating in the equity community lately is just 220 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 7: the idea that inflation you know, may come roaring back 221 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 7: next year. I wouldn't say that there's any you know, 222 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 7: sort of fantastic reasons why people are worried about it, 223 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 7: but it is a concern. So I think people are 224 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 7: going to be looking for anything that Chairman Powell might 225 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 7: have to say in terms of have they won the 226 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 7: battle on inflation yet and when they think that would 227 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 7: want it. 228 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: In our past conversations, you've talked about how stocks could 229 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 3: be up for some choppiness heading into the rest of 230 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: this year. Could the commentary we get from the central 231 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 3: bankers play into that at all? 232 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 7: I think it could. I mean I sort of scratching 233 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 7: my head trying to figure out how we could have, 234 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 7: you know, sort of a dubbish outcome. Maybe it won't 235 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 7: be you know, sort of as hawkish as feared, and 236 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 7: we've already sort of you know, been selling off heading 237 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 7: into this week. I do think that, just in addition 238 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 7: to the fact that we've had kind of this information 239 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 7: vacuum really so to speak, on earnings in these sort 240 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 7: of twenty twenty four fears starting to percolate, I do 241 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 7: think that, you know, volumes have been pluggish in August, 242 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 7: as is typically the case, and this has over the 243 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 7: last five years really been sort of August, September, October. 244 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 7: The markets do tend to trip up a bit, at 245 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 7: least on the equity side. So you know, my view 246 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 7: is really a little more worthy cutting into Friday than 247 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 7: anything else. But you know, we have already been selling off. 248 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: I think I heard you twice mentioned that we didn't 249 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 3: learn much from earning season in the second quarter. Here, 250 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: what were you expecting to learn from earnings? And how 251 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 3: did this second quarter season set us up for the 252 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 3: rest of the year. 253 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 7: Now, it's you know, if my frustrations coming through. You know, 254 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 7: it's been a long reporting season. My team, we try 255 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 7: to read through as much as we can in the 256 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 7: S and P. Five hundred commentary, and we just felt 257 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 7: like we didn't learn all that much. And I'm not 258 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 7: quite sure what we expected, but you know, we I 259 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 7: think what we had been hoping for was maybe a 260 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 7: hint of some of the new narratives that are going 261 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 7: to dominate trading over the next say, maybe two to 262 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 7: four quarters, because it does feel like all the old 263 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 7: narratives in plation, pricing, all that stuff is starting to dwindle. 264 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 7: But other than AI and inventory d stocking, there just 265 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 7: hasn't been really a lot coming out that's been useful 266 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 7: to us. Frankly, and I think, you know, I kind 267 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 7: of think back in recent years, this is the time 268 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 7: of year when investors always start to turn their attentions 269 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 7: to twenty twenty four or the year ahead, and I 270 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 7: guess we had been hoping we would get some of 271 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 7: those breadcrumbs, and we just weren't really hearing a lot 272 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 7: the outlook commentary on a longer term basis, Beyonce a 273 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 7: quarter was just very very thin. 274 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 3: On a shorter term basis, we have seen a few 275 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 3: straight week crosses here for stocks. We've heard from strategists 276 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 3: to Goldman Sachs saying that might present a buying opportunity. 277 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 3: Do you see it that way at least in the 278 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: short term, that we could see a little bit of 279 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: movement back into stocks. 280 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 7: So our target at year end is forty two fifty. 281 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 7: Some of our models point to more upside than that. 282 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 7: We have one that gets us as high as forty 283 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 7: eight hundred being a justifiable number. I think that both, 284 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 7: you know, kind of outcomes are valid here, but we 285 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 7: have kept the target at forty two fifty because we've 286 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 7: been very very concerned about what we've been starting to 287 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 7: see on some of the sentiment indicators, which is, you know, 288 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 7: if you look at the aai I met bullishness, it's 289 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 7: been about one standard deviation above the mean in terms of, 290 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 7: you know, being overly biased in favor of the bulls. 291 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 7: So I think we've still got some work to do 292 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 7: to get that indicator, you know, sort of farther away 293 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 7: from worrisome territory. So I'm not sure I'm in a 294 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 7: position where I feel like I should be pounding the 295 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 7: table in the very short term. I feel like maybe 296 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 7: this weakness is yet to fully play out. That being said, 297 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 7: as I peer into next year, you know, we haven't 298 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 7: put out a formal target yet, but we have started 299 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 7: to look at what our models are saying about next year, 300 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 7: and we're still seeing the cross asset models are cautious, 301 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 7: but some of the other models are a little more constructive. 302 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 7: So I'm certainly not in the big bad bear camp 303 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 7: like some my. 304 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the 305 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 306 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 307 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 308 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 309 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 310 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 311 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 312 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg 313 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: ninety sixty in San Francisco. 314 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 315 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
