Julian and Manuel, I've ever 11 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: course saying it's not yet the time to parle in 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: right in the following, A pullback is our base case, 13 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: given the parabolic move already and the risks from tariffs 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: and policy to the economy. Judy had joined us now 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: for more. Julian, good morning, good morning. Aha, we take 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: a beat. How's it feel the last quarter? What was 17 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: that like for you? 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: Look? 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 4: Incredible in many respects. 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 5: So the market actually did what it was supposed to do. Okay, 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 5: you had this incredible surprise reaction to something where we 22 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 5: were completely not used to what we were seeing, which 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 5: was a tariff schedule, you know, higher than smooth Holly. 24 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 5: And then you got what you actually didn't get at 25 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 5: the bottom in October of twenty twenty two, a volatility event, 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 5: an actual capitulation that really presented the buying opportunity very 27 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 5: very clearly. And from our point of view, the surprise 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 5: is the unrelenting speed with which the market continues the advance. 29 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: Massive move twenty percent plus off the lows on the 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: S and P thirty percent something like that in the 31 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: last nine one hundred. I sait here, and I wonder 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: looking out twelve months now, can you say with confidence 33 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: the outlook for runnings is getting better or worse? 34 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 5: At this point it's it's definitely getting better, okay, because 35 00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 5: basically what has happened is you've had this adjustment from tariffs, 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 5: and now that there is this presumption that you are 37 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 5: going to get and we can talk about the effect 38 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 5: on interest rates later or what have you, that you're 39 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 5: going to get some form of stimulus that is going 40 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 5: to be more favorable to the twenty twenty six picture. Obviously, 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 5: the twenty twenty five picture remains in flux, and we're 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 5: going to find that out in a couple of weeks 43 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 5: when the earning seasons start. But in general, the whole 44 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 5: narrative of the economy having avoided a recession is a 45 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 5: reasonably positive backdrop. 46 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 6: Let's put the one big beautiful bill on the side 47 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 6: for one second and just go to the tariffs, which 48 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 6: you mentioned are still at the highest going back to 49 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 6: the nineteen thirties and haven't fully been priced in yet. 50 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 6: When it comes to whether it's consumer prices, whether it's 51 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 6: companies absorbing it in the profit margins, what makes you 52 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 6: think this isn't going to show up in earnings and 53 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 6: a material hit to profit margins for a significant number 54 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 6: of companies. 55 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 5: Well, so, the work that we've done was the expectation 56 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 5: that roughly it be a fifty to fifty split. You know, 57 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 5: larger companies will will shoulder less, smaller companies will will 58 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 5: shoulder more of. 59 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 4: The tariff hit. 60 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 5: And yes, it definitely will fall into earnings. But again 61 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 5: there is this presumption that it is the one time 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 5: hit and that there will be this transition period, which 63 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 5: obviously for the market began in the spring, but we're 64 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 5: already sort of pricing through that. And again, what it 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 5: points to is the resilience of corporate America, the ability 66 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 5: to adapt, the ability to move supply chains, and the 67 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 5: ability to figure out what a correct pricing strategy is. 68 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 6: We're putting an economic narrative to a market story, to 69 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 6: something that really is big tech names that continue to 70 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 6: innovate in a technological boom that is trickling out into 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 6: other companies at the same time that there are these 72 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 6: independent factors that are very real that are affecting other 73 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 6: asset classes. And we talked about the dollar that might 74 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 6: be some of the vigilantes are going, or this question 75 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 6: of where the marginal buyer is going to be, how 76 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 6: the market responds to negative news in the economy. How 77 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 6: much are we making an economic argument for something that 78 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 6: is now increasingly divorced from the economy. 79 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 5: Well, again stepping back the story of this year, and 80 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 5: in large part from our point of view, the reason 81 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 5: that the advance off the April bottom has been as 82 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 5: unrelenting as it's been is because we are now finding 83 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 5: that corporate America is understanding how to use AI constructively 84 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 5: across all industries, not just for cost saves, but for 85 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 5: revenue enhancement well as well. And this is something that 86 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 5: we think is going to continue to proliferate, and when 87 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 5: you think about it, is part of the reason. Look, 88 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 5: we're uncomfortable with where multiples are, which is why we 89 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 5: think that you're likely. 90 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 4: To have a pullback. 91 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 5: But on balance, it is something that supports higher multiples 92 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 5: x ANTI than what we've seen. 93 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 7: I'll pull back when though, because you talk about a 94 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 7: FOMO driven melt up. 95 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: What if you missed that? 96 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 5: So, look, it could be going on right now, but 97 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 5: from our point of view, there's enough policy uncertainty out 98 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 5: there that I would equate this more to the sort 99 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 5: of FOMO that we had in and around the election. 100 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 5: Remember a lot of froth there, you know, led by 101 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 5: crypto names, led by names that were tied into the 102 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 5: Trump administration. And I think we're seeing a lot of 103 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 5: the same thing now. But again, the actual activity supporting 104 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 5: a more prolonged period of FOMO hasn't materialized yet. We 105 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 5: do think you need to get less policy uncertainty to 106 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 5: get to that period. 107 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 7: What uncertainty unnerves you the most? Lisa mentioned tariffs. Right now, 108 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 7: we have this debate on the one big beautiful bill, 109 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 7: but no one thinks it's not going to pass. It 110 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 7: just might be an absolute slog and it's probably not 111 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 7: going to come on July fourth. What's the uncertainty that 112 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 7: makes you nervous to really want to add more to 113 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 7: your exposure? 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 5: So I think it's a what the response is going 115 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 5: to be in and around July to ninth. That's the 116 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 5: you know, the tariff story. But again this other idea 117 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 5: that you know, we're seeing the resilience on the corporate 118 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 5: earnings front. But if you go back to last Friday, 119 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 5: it was really the first indication with the inflation numbers 120 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 5: higher than expected and the income and spending numbers weaker 121 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 5: than expected. GDP revised down that yes, in fact, this 122 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 5: theorized pass through. 123 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 4: From tariffs might actually in fact be dding. What's the 124 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 4: best outcome for July ninth? 125 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,119 Speaker 2: Ask this question? Yes, and I, as an extended pretend 126 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: keep the Guschett and go ten percent and move on. 127 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: What's the best outcome for you? 128 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 5: I think it's I think, well, you'd like certainty. I mean, 129 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 5: if you just went to ten and said that's it, 130 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 5: that would be fine. 131 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 4: The market would embrace that. 132 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 5: But something leads me to believe that it isn't quite 133 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 5: going to be that simple. 134 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: In negotiation, You're not alone, by the way, And I 135 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: think this is interesting that the market is just sort 136 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: of happy, and I think it was happy several months 137 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: ago with the idea of a ten percent universal tariff. 138 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: Move on to other things. 139 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 6: Then companies can actually price it in, they can re 140 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 6: raise your supply chains, and like Julian said, the adapt 141 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 6: adjusts wi you see in so many different companies is 142 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 6: what we've already seen with respect to half being absorbed 143 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 6: by them, a little being absorbed by them, and maybe 144 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 6: just a small marginal one time price increase. 145 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 7: And to your point, Jonathan, the market was happy. 146 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 8: I was there. It was rallying when. 147 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 7: The President got up in the rose garden said here's 148 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 7: a ten percent across the board tariff. It only started 149 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 7: to crater when they came out with the massive billboard 150 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 7: of the reciprocal tariff rates that were extortioned for some 151 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 7: countries an kittsult to the extreme. 152 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: And now we're happy with ten percent, and apparently even 153 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: the EU is now happy with a ten percent universal tariff. 154 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 6: With carvauts in sure, whatever, that's not what we're going 155 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 6: to get because we also have sectoral tariffs and you've 156 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 6: got countries that are waiting for the two through twos. 157 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 2: These countries aren't arguing about the ten percent universal tariff. 158 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: They're not even debating it with the US at all, 159 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: which goes the. 160 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 6: Question of if you anchored the extreme, is that the 161 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 6: way to get people to all accept something that would 162 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 6: have been extreme? 163 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 7: It's a massive You turn to when I was in 164 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 7: the Netherlands last week and they said they would not 165 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 7: accept a ten percent across the board tariff. Now a 166 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 7: week later, okay, fine, walk ccept ten percent. We need 167 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 7: some help on stealing autos. 168 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: What's the relationship between your outlook for the equity market 169 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: and what's been happening in fixed income? 170 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 5: No, it is definitely a mystery, There's no question about it. 171 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 5: And it almost makes you wonder as if there might 172 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 5: be a time where, let's say this bill passes and 173 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 5: then we wake up and yields start moving higher by 174 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 5: a reasonably significant amount. But at the end of the day, 175 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 5: if you look at it, the yields have been going 176 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 5: sideways for two years. Okay, literally somewhere between four and 177 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 5: four and a half for two whole years, And frankly, 178 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 5: that's perfectly fine for the equity market, because again that 179 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 5: removes part of the uncertainty. 180 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 6: Well, okay, they say the same, but the backdrop has 181 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 6: been very different. 182 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 8: Economically. 183 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: People went from a. 184 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 6: Very high benchmark industry understanding of the world that was 185 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 6: high inflation to one that now if you put all 186 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 6: of the other potential tariffs and other disruptions out of 187 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 6: the picture, we would be looking at pretty much close 188 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 6: to two percent inflation rate. We're looking at basically mission accomplished. 189 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 6: So is this highlighting a new premium that will ultimately 190 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 6: challenge US valuations and risk markets in a way that 191 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 6: has not fully been appreciated. 192 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 5: Well, there's certainly an element to that. However, the countervail 193 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 5: to that is that we are likely to get a 194 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 5: new FED chairman sometime next year that is going to 195 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 5: be let's say a little bit more accommodating in terms 196 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 5: of ringing infrastrates down. 197 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 6: Let's say that they are accommodating and taking sharpie messages 198 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 6: of the world's interest rates and saying, okay, we'll cut 199 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 6: three percentage points in this meeting, regardless of what happens. 200 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 8: What happens the long end, that's true, you. 201 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 5: Will get a yield curve steepening the likes of which 202 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 5: most investors do not remember that twenty years ago and 203 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 5: so on, twos tens was more in the neighborhood of 204 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty over rather than fifty over. A 205 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 5: very rapid steepening. And frankly, when we think about what 206 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 5: the risks to the equity market are, ten year yields 207 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 5: going through five percent far and away at this point 208 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 5: are the most significant risk. 209 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 8: What can that happen? 210 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 4: Again? 211 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 5: It just the psychology right now is telling you it 212 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 5: doesn't seem likely, you know, because as John pointed out, 213 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 5: you know, counter to expectations, and really the same way 214 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 5: the dollar. This is counter to the expectations of people 215 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 5: that thought. 216 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 4: Tariffs would be bullish to the dollar. 217 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 5: It really just takes a turnaround in psychology that we 218 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 5: don't see. But I would suggest that if the inflation 219 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 5: data continues to firm, at the same time we get 220 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 5: more sort of pushback on the direction of tariffs, that's 221 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 5: the mix that. 222 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: The dollar move. I think Julian speaks to exactly the 223 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: risks you describe. Just go through the scenario. You face 224 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 2: a situation where you do get a fed chair, let's 225 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: say it's more willing to drop interest rates regardless of 226 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: what's happening gaswag, you get the curve stinkning you describe, 227 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: you get all the debt issued at the front end 228 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 2: with a Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, then it's precisely 229 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 2: one of the reasons you're seeing the dollar strength has 230 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: been developingly so over the last several months. 231 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 6: What is the fear that this is going to be 232 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 6: a FED that's going to try to monetize the debt 233 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 6: that's going to try to essentially print money to offset 234 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 6: this by having rates at a very low level and 235 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 6: then just printing money at that level. And how much 236 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 6: does it take at this point to create dollar strength, 237 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 6: given that that fear has been embedded in the overall 238 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 6: investor base. 239 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: It's in the President actually arguing for that right now 240 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: over the last several months, almost explicitly saying that he 241 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: wants the Federal Reserve to drop interest rights so they 242 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 2: can issue that at the front end and get lower 243 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: interest rates. 244 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 6: He's saying there is a direct connection between the FED 245 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 6: rate policy and what the US pays and interest payments. 246 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 6: And then Scott bess And came out and said, yeah, 247 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 6: we're not going to turn out the debt, We're going 248 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 6: to focus on the front end because right now the 249 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 6: term premium is just too great. So you put those together, 250 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 6: and that is to your point explicit explicitly calling for 251 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 6: the FED to help the country lower its interest payments. 252 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 7: In the sharpie black and white, you have cost the 253 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 7: USA a fortune and continue to do so. He's talking 254 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 7: about the net interest we are paying on our debt, 255 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 7: which has basically toppled the entire US budget higher than Defenseman. 256 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: Quick found of word dollar witness how much for a 257 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: tail whend does that for the S and P five hundred. 258 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 5: It's definitely been significant, and it has definitely contributed, among 259 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 5: other reasons for the large cap our performance over small 260 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 5: cap In general, it tends to be a positive, but 261 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 5: again there's always sort of until it isn't. And I 262 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 5: would suggest, and it's not our base case, that there 263 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 5: are going to be issues around getting this bill passed. 264 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 5: But if we start getting towards August and again not 265 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 5: our base case, chill, that is where you run into problems. 266 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 2: So many reasons for dollar weakness, which I think makes 267 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: the pain. Try to Q three dollar strength, that's going 268 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: to be the pain. Try to Q three dollars strength. 269 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: Who's position for. 270 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 6: That I couldn't agree more. I was thinking, people say 271 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 6: that there's going to be a stimulative effect. No memory 272 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 6: would agree argue with this from the one big beautiful bill, 273 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 6: Let's say that plays in with better than expected earnings 274 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 6: and economic data. 275 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: What does a dollar do? 276 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 2: Jitdy, and it's gott to say you s thanks for 277 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: dropping by, thank you doning in to mind We that 278 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: of evicle as we kick off the second half of 279 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Up next the former NEC Deputy director 280 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 2: Evera Eisenstadt as the EU comes to the table for 281 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 2: trade talks plus Your Moves with Danny Berger the latest 282 00:14:01,040 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: on Tesla. 283 00:15:22,800 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 8: In case you missed it on the opening trade, I. 284 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 9: Think we could go to say one forty, that's that's right, 285 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 9: one one four zero absolutely, that's. 286 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 8: Where at one fourteen right now? 287 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 9: Well one fourteen yeah, yes, yeah, yeah. This is the 288 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 9: scale of moves over what time for it? This could 289 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 9: be within one or two years, that's the that's first. 290 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 9: That's fast. Absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean if you 291 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 9: look at how fast the dollar fell from two thousand 292 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 9: and two to two thousand and four, it was similarly 293 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 9: large as this. To me, it's not out of the 294 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 9: realm's possibility. 295 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 8: So I'm just sitting. 296 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 10: I can't quite Yeah, So take us to the US economy. 297 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 10: I mean, does the underlying state of the US economy 298 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 10: matter in that trade? It seems as if interest rate 299 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 10: differentials in the state of the US economy may be 300 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 10: pushed to the sideline by this border big picture narratives. 301 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: That you describe. 302 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 9: Absolutely. Yeah, the normal cyclical dynamics much less important with 303 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 9: this type of structural change. 304 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 8: Miss the Opening Trade every weekday in case you missed 305 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 8: it on the Pulse. 306 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 11: I think the idea of wait and see and pause. 307 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 11: As Bill Yesterday's news, our best advice to CEOs right 308 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 11: now is that if you're not operating differently than you 309 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 11: were a year ago, you may be falling behind. Yes, 310 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 11: we need to build resilient, but we need to also 311 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 11: build growth despite the environment, and that requires a different 312 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 11: strategy than. 313 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 8: Just a year ago. 314 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 7: Don't miss the Pulse live every weekday. 315 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: Welcome to the second half LI from New York City 316 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,479 Speaker 2: this morning. Good morning, Your scores look like their secretary 317 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: feature is negative by two tenths of one percent on 318 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: the SMP, following back to back all time highs on 319 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 2: a benchmark in the United States. We're coming into Q 320 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: three on a three day winning streak. Come then, that's 321 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: that one hundred after a major rally off the lows 322 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 2: of April, we're down just zero zero point three percent 323 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 2: with threeans until the opening bout. Let's get you some morning. 324 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 9: Movers, henri to trace us at the papers. 325 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 4: Of the House. 326 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 2: We'll roll over and accept the Senate's more material deficit increases. 327 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,239 Speaker 2: Henrietta joins us. Now for more, henri to welcome back 328 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: to the program. Just describe what's taking place in the 329 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: Senate right now and whether you believe we're pretty close 330 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 2: to getting this done. 331 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 12: Yeah, it looks like we're enforce it mode. We've got 332 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 12: jd Vance going up to the Senate clearly indicating with 333 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 12: some muscle that he's there to break a vote if 334 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 12: he needs to and be the holdout. But I want 335 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 12: to just emphasize one thing here. Him having to vote 336 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 12: for the bill now means that over the last seventy 337 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 12: two hours, the trajectory of this bill has actually lost 338 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 12: a Senator along the way. So his vote was not 339 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 12: needed for the motion to proceed on Saturday night, and 340 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 12: now it is, and that's not necessarily that's how not 341 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 12: a good sign. And I think a big part of 342 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 12: that could be the distributional tables that were released by 343 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 12: the JCT at about two o'clock this morning, which show 344 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 12: the top bracket is going to see twelve five hundred 345 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 12: dollars when this bill has passed, and the lowest bracket 346 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 12: is going to see one hundred and fifty bucks. So 347 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 12: that's really the fallout here, that's what's got Alaska flipped out. 348 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 12: We've got some problems. 349 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 8: Still, Henritta. 350 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 7: Is it when it comes to the Senator of Alaska 351 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 7: Lisa Murkowski? Is she the one that Majority Leader Johnson 352 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 7: has to flip? 353 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 12: She's essential to the package. What we always watch, and 354 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 12: you know it's been decades now is the combination of 355 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 12: Collins and Murkowski. And let's not forget that Dan Sullivan 356 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 12: is one of the Alaska Senators that's actually up next cycle. 357 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 12: So when you get thirty five percent of the Medicaid 358 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 12: recipients in Alaska that are under risk of seeing their 359 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 12: cuts or their healthcare lost, that's a material problem for 360 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 12: the state. But then we still have the IRA issues 361 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 12: that are critical to Maine and a whole host of 362 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 12: other states as well. So I think we actually have 363 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 12: a little bit longer to go before this is all 364 00:19:59,440 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 12: nailed down. 365 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 7: In your note, you think that in the end the 366 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 7: final passage will get Moretowski and Senator of Collins vote. 367 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 7: But Senator Collins had an amendment earlier this morning when 368 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 7: it would give more money to rural hospitals in lieu 369 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 7: of raising the tax rate on those making twenty five 370 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 7: million dollars more, and that was struck down. So is 371 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 7: she a no now given her amendment went down in flames? 372 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 12: You know, in my experience, that's more of a messaging document. 373 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 12: You're not going to get Republicans to vote for tax 374 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 12: increases for any individual brackets. Even President Trump tried to 375 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 12: do that earlier on in the year and the party 376 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 12: killed it pretty quickly. So I see that more of 377 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 12: as a message and you know, pretty serious signals to 378 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 12: Senator Collins, who was also upper reelection next cycle, that 379 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 12: she has another workaround. But the fact again that Vance 380 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 12: is there means she might be a no vote. And 381 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 12: she made it really clear during the motion to proceed 382 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 12: on Saturday night that she was only voting to proceed 383 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 12: she did not have support for the underlying bill. So 384 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 12: Vance being there suggests that they have lost the senator 385 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 12: from the process. 386 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 8: Alone, Henrietta. 387 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 7: Then this goes to the House and you think the 388 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 7: House just accepts it, although we're already seeing some housemen 389 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 7: come out the Salt Caucus. I don't like what they 390 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 7: did to tweak what happened with the salt cap. You 391 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 7: have the House Freedom Caucus saying, actually, this raises the deficit. 392 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 7: We're going to be increasing spending. Why are you so short? 393 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 7: The House is just going to take this on the chin. 394 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm. 395 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 12: Sorry, it's been a long night, but I got to 396 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 12: say the Salt caucaus has to sit down. I mean, 397 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 12: they've gotten enough of their carve out. They got a 398 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 12: forty k cap, They've got it up to five hundred 399 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 12: thousand dollars for an income bracket. So they've gotten what 400 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 12: they're going to get. That's why the distributional tables are 401 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 12: so bad. I would really expect that the Murkowski Earnst 402 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,239 Speaker 12: Grassley bill on the IRA or the amendment has to 403 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 12: pass in order to satiate the House IRA supporters, of 404 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 12: which there are anywhere between eighteen and thirty members. To me, 405 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 12: that's a bigger caucus than the Salt Conference, who's already 406 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 12: gotten as much as they can ask for, much more 407 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 12: than I anticipated, indeed, so I think that they need 408 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 12: to sit down and we need to move into the 409 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 12: IRA place. We haven't even gotten an amendment vote on 410 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 12: that bill yet, so we need to see that happen. 411 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 2: We're getting closer. Hanretta, Thank you. Hanretta tries the Aida Pomas. 412 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: Let's turn to the bond market and the federal serve. 413 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: Colin Martin of the Swap Center for Financial Research righting 414 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: expectations for the number of federright cuts this year continues 415 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 2: to increase despite the relatively stable labor market. Colin joins 416 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 2: us now for more. Colin, good morning, good morning. Can 417 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: you explain that then, why's not happening? 418 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 13: Well? 419 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 3: I think it has to do with the idea that 420 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 3: inflation actually continues to move lower despite the fact that 421 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: tariffs are in place. 422 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: If we take away. 423 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 3: The tariffs, which we can't do, of course, but absent 424 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 3: the tariffs, the Fed probably would have cut already. And 425 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 3: if we look at what's going on in the inflation 426 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 3: data right now, we're still seeing that dichotomy between services 427 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 3: and goods, and we are seeing a slight pick up 428 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 3: in the goods inflation, specifically things coming in from China, 429 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: but we're seeing a lot of disinflation, maybe even deflation 430 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 3: on the services side. So the inflation data said just 431 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 3: that they could be cutting absent those tariffs, but the 432 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 3: labor market's still holding up. 433 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe that starts to change soon. 434 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 3: But what I think is really remarkable is if you 435 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 3: look at that unemployment rate four percent to four point 436 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 3: two percent, that very narrow range, for thirteen straight months. 437 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: It's expected to increase a. 438 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 3: Little bit when we get the report on Thursday, but 439 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 3: if it doesn't, if it's four to two, that's fourteen 440 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 3: straight months. 441 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: The labor markets holding in. 442 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 3: We're seeing you know, the low hiring, low firing, but 443 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 3: that's okay for the economy to kind of continue to 444 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 3: chug along right now. 445 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: So that's doing okay. 446 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 3: I think you're the concerns in the second half of 447 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 3: the year, now that it is July, is what happens 448 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 3: next and will we start to see the weakness in 449 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: that labor market. Given that the tariffs have to have 450 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 3: an impact somewhere. If they're not passed along to the consumer, 451 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 3: does that impact margins, which therefore might impact the labor market. 452 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 3: So right now we're kind of stuck between the rock 453 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 3: and a hard place, But all signs are suggesting we 454 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 3: get read cuts later this year. 455 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 6: If we rewind to April. Second was the tariffs will 456 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 6: cause the inflation rate to surge and deficits will ignite 457 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 6: bond vigilantes with their pitchforks to never buy us bonds ever. Again, 458 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 6: are we saying both of those things are not true? 459 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 3: Well, on the tariffront, that's the confusing part right now. 460 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 3: If you look at FED expectations, even though there is 461 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 3: kind of some vocal members who think we can be 462 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 3: cutting soon, if you look and dive into the FED projections, 463 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: the medium projections suggest inflation should increase. And even if 464 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 3: you look at that range, the lowest expected inflation core 465 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: inflation rate by the end of the year is still 466 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 3: two and a half percent. So there's still an expectation 467 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 3: that it should increase prices. 468 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: We just haven't seen it yet. 469 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 3: So there's this idea that maybe people imported goods early 470 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 3: in advance to this they haven't chosen to pass it through. 471 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 3: We think there has to be some sort of impact 472 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 3: at some point. Of course, not the full effect of 473 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 3: the tariffs, but some of it should get passed along, 474 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 3: especially when you add in the fact that the dollars decline, 475 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 3: so you have that working against you as well. On 476 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 3: the bond vigilantes, they don't care right now. We've long 477 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: held that jets and deficits are not a key driver 478 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 3: of the direction of long term industries. We've always focused 479 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 3: on monetary policy and growth and inflation expectations. We dialed 480 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 3: that back a little bit recently just because our debt 481 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 3: continues to grow and there doesn't appear to be any 482 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 3: interest in Washington to fix the situation. 483 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 6: Okay, hold on a second, I'm sorry to jump in here. 484 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 6: So deficits don't matter. People could just keep on printing 485 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 6: money until a point and then they do matter. We've 486 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 6: been talking about this all year. 487 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: When do they matter? 488 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 6: I mean, this expanding right now and no one seems 489 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 6: to care. Bond deals are actually lower on the day. 490 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't have the number for when it matters 491 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 3: because there just hasn't been the relationship. So how we've 492 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 3: been framing it is because we get this concern from 493 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 3: our clients at Schwab all the time. We hear about it, 494 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 3: especially with everything going on in Washington. Is this going 495 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 3: to send long term meals significantly higher? And we say 496 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 3: they're not. We don't expect the tenure to get to 497 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 3: six seven eight percent anytime soon. What we have thought, 498 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 3: and which actually hasn't been the case over the past 499 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 3: handful of days, is. 500 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: That maybe it keeps them elevated. 501 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 3: We thought maybe the ten year goes to that five 502 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 3: percent range, or maybe hovers between four and a half 503 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: to five percent, so instead of falling in line with 504 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 3: potential rate cuts late later this year, maybe the fact 505 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 3: that debt needs to continue to rise, we need to 506 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 3: attract new buyer survivos, maybe that just kind of keeps 507 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,719 Speaker 3: them where they are. But that's been proven wrong over 508 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 3: the past couple of days as well. 509 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 7: Would the bond market pushback on a FED chair that 510 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 7: they don't see as credible, an extension of Trump, extension 511 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 7: of the White House? 512 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: You know, that's we've been talking about that a lot. 513 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 3: What happens if we get what the administration has been 514 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 3: hinting that they could do in terms of, you know, 515 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 3: shifting their issuance from coupons to tee bills or a 516 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 3: huge drop. 517 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: In the FED funds rate. 518 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 3: I mean, we've heard things from two hundred basis points 519 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 3: to three hundred and fifty basis points. That would pull 520 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 3: short term rates a lot lower, I would think, But 521 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: I think that could weigh on the long end. 522 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: We might see long term. 523 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 3: Yields fall initially just based on that supply demand imbalance. 524 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 7: But I'm not talking about what the new FED chair 525 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 7: might do next year. I'm talking about the fact is 526 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 7: this person seen as credible to the institution. 527 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that concerns us. 528 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 3: We worry about a lack of FED independence, and we 529 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 3: know that can have bad impacts if the FED share 530 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 3: and the Committee as a whole are doing things that 531 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 3: are more based on short term goals that the administration 532 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 3: wants versus what their dual mandate suggests, price stability and 533 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 3: maximum employment. We do worry that that can have an 534 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 3: effect on the treasury market, specifically long term treasuries the 535 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 3: dollar market. We could see the dollar continue to decline 536 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 3: if that were to happen. So that is a worry 537 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 3: of ours, and it could send long term meals a 538 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 3: little bit high. 539 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 2: Haven't They totally, unutterly failed to hit the price stability 540 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: side of that Joe mandate For the last several years. 541 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: They have we're moving in the right direction though. 542 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: Directionally yes, But isn't that the ultimate criticism of them 543 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 2: and this FED chair. I know that he celebrates it 544 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 2: a lot on Wall Street by economists that work on 545 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: Wall Street, but ultimately he's full and short, or rather 546 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: full and a buff where it should be for a 547 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 2: long long time now. And if you go back a 548 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 2: few years ago when he delivered that speech at Jackson 549 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: Hole eight minutes of pain, then there wasn't any pain, 550 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 2: and everyone celebrates it. I'm not sure why they celebrates it. 551 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: Inflation never went back down to target. It was never 552 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 2: mission accomplished, was it. 553 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, technically no, you're right. Definitionally we have not 554 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 3: gotten two percent, if anything, though, that calls for the 555 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 3: rate to stay where it is, or arguably higher, and 556 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 3: that's I think where you get the lack of confidence 557 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,239 Speaker 3: in the market, because you're right, we're not at that 558 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 3: two percent goal. Yet they're projecting it to continue to 559 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,239 Speaker 3: move higher at the end of this year if the 560 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 3: tariff in fact plays a role, and yet there. 561 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: Are these calls for rate cuts. 562 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 3: So you know, it is tough, and I think if 563 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 3: we were to get a FED, a newge FED share 564 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 3: or just the committee as a whole, and they start 565 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 3: cutting rates and we're still above target. 566 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: I think that's a risk. 567 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 2: That's the ultimate issue, which is why the criticism, to 568 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 2: your point, is kind of misplaced at this feder Reserve 569 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 2: that cut rates one hundred basis points. Last year, rates 570 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: went up in the long end, so did mortgage rates. 571 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: That's the thing you need to get your teeth into, 572 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: Bob Michael JP Morgan is talking about the same thing 573 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: earlier this morning. 574 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 6: And it might be the consequence of cutting certainly as 575 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 6: much as President Trump would life. It really goes to 576 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 6: this question of how you trust data, because remember last year, 577 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 6: the sum rule was triggered and it was a headfake, 578 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 6: and the Fed took that on its face and it 579 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 6: cut rates significantly, and maybe in retrospect, Veder doesn't think 580 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 6: it was a mistake, but it raises a question, what 581 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 6: data do you follow to understand that dual mandate when 582 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 6: you're looking at inflation at a fuzzy moment and when 583 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 6: you're looking at the labor market at a fuzzy moment. 584 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 2: The chairman of the Federal Reserve about thirty five minutes away, 585 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: alongside some of its peers, including the ECB President Christine 586 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: Thegard and the Bojvovna away to look out for that. 587 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: A little bit later, Colin mont and a Charles Swat. 588 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 2: Thank you, sir, I'm going to see you. Colin, appreciate it. 589 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:34,719 Speaker 8: Thank you. 590 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 2: Joining us now to talk about it right now is 591 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 2: Blarina Ricci of t RO Price. Blarina, let's talk about it. 592 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 2: The low cha dynamic that Lisa just gave a nod to. 593 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 2: How much longer can we stick in that kind of situation, 594 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 2: that kind of dynamic. 595 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 13: It's a very interesting dynamic the US economy right now. 596 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 13: When you look at the flow of data up to date, 597 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 13: you really see the labor market has loosened a lot, 598 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 13: and that's come at the back of slowing demand for workers. 599 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 13: I am not too concerned We're not seeing a big 600 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 13: pickup in the unemployment rate, but it does tell you 601 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 13: that if the Fed were to base monetar policy purely 602 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 13: on the progress made on inflation so far and the 603 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 13: cooling in the labor market, I think they would be 604 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 13: much more comfortable signaling cutting interest rates later this year. 605 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 13: But the key here was what Mike McKee was alluding 606 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 13: to earlier, that the outlook has changed so much, and 607 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 13: most of the risks point to upside to inflation, and 608 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 13: so the FED has come so far. I think they're 609 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 13: very reluctant to undo all the progress we've made and 610 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,719 Speaker 13: cut prematurely. And again, what matters for the economy and 611 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 13: for the long end of the curve is if montrepolicy 612 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 13: is appropriately set or not. And we saw that in 613 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 13: last September when the FED cut interest rates by fifty 614 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 13: bass points, but the long end went higher, and that 615 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 13: was basically telling the FED that, wait a minute, the 616 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 13: economy is resilient, why are we cutting interest rates. I 617 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 13: think this is not setting us up for success for 618 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 13: the risks going ahead, and I think the FED wants 619 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 13: to avoid that situation. 620 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 6: This year, there's been a tone shift, though, and John 621 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 6: alluded to it when he started talking about the Goldman 622 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 6: Sachs note that came out Yon Hansis and the team 623 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 6: that brought forward rate cuts and see a greater number 624 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 6: of them this year. FED members themselves are saying it 625 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 6: looks as though the inflation impact from the tariffs will 626 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,959 Speaker 6: be a more of a one time shock than they 627 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 6: will some sort of protracted inflationary impulse. And you aren't 628 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 6: seeing any kind of inflationary read through from the labor 629 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 6: market that is cooling, if not maybe even showing signs 630 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 6: of cracks. Are you also coming around that kind of 631 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 6: conclusion where it seems to make sense for the cut 632 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 6: for the FED to cut more and sooner. 633 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 13: So my baseline for the FED this year is two cuts, 634 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 13: two twenty five basis point cuts starting in September. I 635 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 13: think the market has fluctuated between one and a half 636 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 13: to three cuts at different points of the year. The 637 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 13: question is, can the Fed bring forward interest rate cuts 638 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 13: to the July meeting. I think that's something that the 639 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 13: market is not really prepared for. I don't think we 640 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 13: have enough time to see a deterioration in the data 641 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 13: that would push the Fed in that direction. So then 642 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 13: what would make the Fed and the market price let's 643 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 13: say three or four cuts for this year. I think 644 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 13: we would need to see a pretty big increase in 645 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 13: the unemployment rate. Otherwise, even though the labor market is 646 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 13: not a source of inflation right now, if you have 647 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 13: a one or two timeshock two inflation, even though it's 648 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 13: not supposed to be persistent, it candy anchor inflation expectations. 649 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 13: So I'm looking at the unemployment rate here, because that's 650 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 13: the only way that you get the labor market to 651 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 13: push the FED of the fence. And when I'm thinking 652 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 13: about the unemployment rate, there are two components that matter. 653 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 13: One is labor demand and hiring and firing. I think 654 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 13: labor demand has cooled significantly, but we're not seeing mass 655 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 13: firing yet. And then I also think the break even 656 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 13: rate of employment has come down a lot. The break 657 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 13: even rate of employment is that which keeps the unemployment 658 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 13: rates steady. It doesn't go up, it doesn't go lower. 659 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 13: It's come down a lot because net migrant flows have 660 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 13: decelerated in the last twelve months or so, and so 661 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 13: with quaker labor supply, is much harder to get the 662 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 13: unemployment rate to increase a lot unless you have mass firing. 663 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 13: So I think we're here at an uneasy equilibrium, and 664 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 13: so for me, it makes a lot of sense for 665 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 13: the FED to tread carefully. So I feel comfortable with 666 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 13: keeping two interest rate cuts in my outlook for this year. 667 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 6: What's the potential for upside surprises later in the year, 668 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 6: particularly once the One Big Beautiful Bill has passed and 669 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 6: once people have more certainty around what the tariff outlook 670 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 6: looks like. 671 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 13: So in terms of inflation upside surprises, I see two 672 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 13: pivotal moments in the next two to three CPI reports. 673 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 13: I'm looking for signs that we're getting significant passed through 674 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 13: to consumer prices from higher tariffs. What we see so 675 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 13: far is import prices have not budged, So that's telling 676 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 13: me that exporters into the US are not adjusting prices. 677 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 13: So then that leaves domestic firms and consumers as the 678 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 13: agents that are going to bear the brand of the 679 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 13: tariff increases. We also have a weeker dollar, so the 680 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 13: currency is not helping us on the inflation front. So 681 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 13: I'm looking at the CPI reports for upside risks, and 682 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 13: that's the one off shock that everybody talking about. But 683 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 13: then we have the one big, beautiful bill. I think 684 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 13: there is a real chance that this stimulates demand in 685 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 13: the near term. So then the next risk that I 686 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 13: see to inflation is in twenty twenty six from fiscal policy. 687 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 13: I think we learned our lessons from the supply chain 688 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,439 Speaker 13: disruptions and from the fiscal bill post COVID that they 689 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 13: can push inflation higher. I don't think the size of 690 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 13: the shocks right now is as big as it was 691 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 13: back then, but I do think it's realistic to expect 692 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 13: some upside to inflation. 693 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 6: Laurio Ritti of turo Prise, Thank you so much. 694 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 2: This is the Bloomberg Seventans podcast, bringing you the best 695 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 2: in markets, economics, angiopolitics.
