1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keene, along 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferrell and Lisa Brownwitz Jailey. We bring you 3 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations. 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcast, Suncloud, Bloomberg dot Com, 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: and of course on the Bloomberg terminal. Right now, there 6 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: can be always a moment that comes along when you 7 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: say it's the essay of the summer. Boy, it's awful 8 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: early to say it's essay this summer. But David focus 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: land Out his team is Deutsche Bank, with the leadership 10 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: of Peter Hooper, the whole whole head of economic research, 11 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: have generated eighteen thought provoking must read pages for Global 12 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: Wall Street. We're honored that Dr Hooper could join us 13 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: this morning. Peter, you say it is the end of neoliberalism, 14 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: we have a risk of going back to ray can 15 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: voke or how close are we to going back to 16 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: a time of shockingly high inflation. Um, We've obviously seen 17 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: a huge shift in both monetary and fiscal policy that's 18 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: given us a lot more stimulus to the economy than 19 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: ever anyone would have imagined. A couple of years ago. Uh, 20 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: the chances are getting back to the high inflation sixties 21 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: and seventies have have taken a leap forward. Is still 22 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: not the most likely outcome, but certainly the risk of 23 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: risen have risen tremendously thanks to uh GDP in in 24 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: fiscal stimulus in the last year and a half. Who 25 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: would have imagined seeing something like that Peter's This increasingly 26 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: becomes a game of faith because people are dismissing current 27 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: data as simply transitory. How do you convince clients who say, look, 28 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: it has been this way for twenty thirty years, where 29 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: we've seen inflation come down progressively in a steady fashion. 30 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: If you look over time, what do you say to 31 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: them to convince them at this time is different? Uh? 32 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: And at least so you're right, the market is remarkably 33 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: calm about in the face of the storm coming. Um. 34 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: I think you have to live through a surgeon inflation 35 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: that's going to be reversed for a while, and then 36 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: you have to look ahead to the possibility of an 37 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: economy that's can be operating at well above potential. I mean, yes, 38 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: we've been expecting. Uh. We had a big surprise in 39 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: in April. UH people have had revised their expectations and 40 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: now the numbers were likely to get for may not 41 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: looking anywhere are scary, and there are reasons to expect 42 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: things to to slow down the near term. But if 43 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: if we get this increase in household saving uh in 44 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: excess of ten percent of GDP that's been salted away 45 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: here not spend so far, if that begins to come 46 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: on stream as households are normalizing, they're spending as pent 47 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: up demand of being released. Uh, we're gonna see this 48 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: economy pushing well into overheated state. And the problem is 49 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: that the FED has told us they're going to be 50 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: uh late in removing the punch bowl if you will, um, 51 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: I mean the They want to see the economy overheat 52 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: before they start raising rates. There's gonna be a recognition lag, 53 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a long response lag of the 54 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: economy to Fed tending. So the chances of things getting 55 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: out of hand down the road certainly have increased. Hold 56 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: on a second, Peter, are you saying out of hand? 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: And this is a distinction from other people who say that, yes, 58 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: we may see above trend inflation, but we're not going 59 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: to go back to the nine seventies. Are you saying 60 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: that we could go back to nine seventies style inflation. 61 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: There's certainly a risk there. Um. You know, our our 62 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: our numbers say that there is a chance, in fact, 63 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: an uncompanably high chance. That you see the output gap 64 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: for the US, the amount by which GDP exceeds potential 65 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: moving up above to the highway scene for the last 66 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: three or four decades has been around two percent, and 67 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 1: inflation hasn't gotten out of control. UH. In the sixties 68 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: it got went up to five and a half six percent. 69 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: We could be there if as much as a third 70 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: of this UH savings that's been accumulated unusually large saving 71 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: has been accumulated over the last year and a half, 72 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: it's been out over the next year or two. UH here, 73 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: that would be a massive push to GDP. Peter the 74 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: Bank of England chief economist Andy hal Dane, writing in 75 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: The Statesman yesterday, saying this is the most dangerous moment 76 00:04:53,839 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: for monetary policy since inflation targeting began in two He's saying, 77 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, you can't look anywhere and find something as 78 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: price isn't rising. Is this overheating? UH? Is this overheating? 79 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: Intention shared in the UK and the e c B 80 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: as much as it is in the US. Well, I 81 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: think so so Europe's in a different situation. Uh. Certainly 82 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: that the labor market going in was not as tight 83 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: as in the US. Uh. And Uh, we have not 84 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: seen the kind of shift in fiscal and monetary policy 85 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: regime that the US has had. The ECB has not 86 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: said they're gonna be reactive as opposed to preemptive if 87 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: inflation we saw inflation picture in Europe the way we 88 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: are anticipating in the US, I think the e c 89 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: B would respond quite differently. Uh. And Uh. Well, we 90 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: have had the m G e P, the UH, the 91 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: the recovery recovery program, et cetera. Spending in in in 92 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: Europe coming up that's not anywhere near as large as 93 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: what the US is has untapped. So yes, I think 94 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: there is concerned about near term supply disruptions and and 95 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: we are seeing some impressive increases in inflation in Germany. Um, 96 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: But the sense that the risk is anywhere near as 97 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: large in Europe, it's just not there. Dr Ooper underpinning this, 98 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: and I say this with great respect to Steve Roach, 99 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: you know him from Morgan Stanley and now Yale University 100 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: years ago. Is the underpinning of your work at the 101 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: I m F and also the work of Duly folkus 102 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: landau Garber, which has always watched the flows, watch the money. 103 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: Many of you folks will know Martin Wolfen is wonderful 104 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: work at the FT on this as well. If we 105 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: get the time bomb in your eighteen page report, what 106 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: does it do to the flows of capital in the world? Well, now, 107 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: the time bomb is another way of describing the FED 108 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: being late to late to the party, Okay, late in 109 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: terms of taking the punch fell away because we've got 110 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: in behind the curve. We're gonna need to act aggressively. 111 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: That means rates go up sharply. That's very disruptive to 112 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: financial markets. It's very disruptive to many emerging market countries 113 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: with huge amounts of debt that are gonna be very 114 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: sensitive to a sharp rice in US rates. That I 115 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: mean that that that that's the concern down road. It's 116 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: a risk. It's not not in my way of thinking 117 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: the most likely scenario yet, but it's certainly something we 118 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: need to have our have our attended UH tuned into 119 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: your X access in this report to be clear, folks, 120 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: is not getting out to Q three or Q four 121 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: and the rest of the game of market economics and 122 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: the financial media. The Deutsche Bank view begins to frame 123 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: out two thousand twenty four. What is the efforts we 124 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: can do before two thousand twenty four to ameliorate the 125 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: time bound? Well, I think the I mean the FED 126 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: has have gotten into this um inflation averaging framework R. 127 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: This was this was exactly what they needed to do 128 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: to deal with the world where they were struggling to 129 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: get inflation up to two percent and get inflation expectations 130 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: UH to a more desirable sustainable level. Inflation expectations are back. 131 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: I think the FED is going to need to recognize 132 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: begin to recognize this risk certainly over the next year UH, 133 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: and begin to begin to edge toward a sooner tightening 134 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: than it is currently. Well, Peter, let's started at Jackson Hall. 135 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna be there with David, 136 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: but we'd be thrilled to speak to you. Our Michael 137 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: McKee I know, will be reporting there. Let's go to 138 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: the time bomb of Jackson Hall. Is the time bomb 139 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: of Jackson Hole for the markets for our radio and 140 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: TV listeners and viewers. Is it a change back to 141 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: the theories and regimes pre pandemic? Can the FED do 142 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: that leading the rest of the central banks? I think 143 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,239 Speaker 1: I think the central focus of Jackson Hole will probably 144 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: be is the FED going to give us a clear 145 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: signal that they're beginning to unwind the talk about unwinding 146 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: their balance sheet? Uh, We're still We're still at ways 147 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: away from the FED recognizing seriously, Uh, this this risk 148 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: and I mean they have ways to go to get 149 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: to that point. And Peter, this is a lot of 150 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: people are looking for the talking about tapering or talking 151 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: about talking about tapering as being the key moment for 152 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: Jackson All. There's also a question, though, going toe as 153 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: you did, does the FED have the tools to control 154 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: the control inflation in the way that they have in 155 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: the past. And then I think is sort of underpinning 156 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: your call. Are you saying that the FED does not 157 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: have those same tools given how much money has been 158 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: pumped into the system. The it certainly has the tools 159 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: to deal with inflation. It doesn't have the tools to 160 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: deal with a with a in a soft landing sense, 161 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: if you will, It's very difficult if you're going to 162 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: be behind the curve to deal with an inflation problems, 163 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: building some momentum that's getting into expectations and moving beyond 164 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: the GIRED levels without being very disruptive. The FETE has 165 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: never been able to deal with a rising inflation problem 166 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: bring it back without causing a recession. And if they're 167 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: behind the curve when they start this process, it could 168 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: be a major regnition. Dr Hoopers, thank you so much 169 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: for this first conversation and it's important research for thrilled 170 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: that Peter Hooper of Deutsche Bank could join us today. 171 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: Right now, Katrina Dudley joins us with Franklin and this 172 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: is really special. She's got a real ample career on 173 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: the cell side and securities research UH and a portfolio manager, 174 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: particularly in your with Franklin Mutual. Katrina, good morning to you. 175 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: How much of a value is Europe right now? Look, 176 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: Europe has always been a quintessential value market. You just 177 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: look at the construct of the market. It's heavy and financials, 178 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: it's heavy in energy and their two sectors that are 179 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: trading and very very cheap multiples um. But the good 180 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: news about Europe is actually the construct of the market 181 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: is changing. We've now got a rising luxury sector, which 182 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: is the equivalent of the technology sector over here in 183 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: the United States, and that sector is actually growing. I 184 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: gotta stop, but come on, are you telling me Louis 185 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: Howton is equivalent to Apple or Amazon? Um? I think 186 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: Louis Baton is actually even better than an Amazon because 187 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: it's it's it's brand something here. I'd agree with you exactly, 188 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: but you can't. You can't replace some of their products. 189 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: You can't get some of their handbags at the moment, 190 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: and if you've tried to ordering some of their jewelry, 191 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:03,599 Speaker 1: it's out of least Keen Mrs Keane would agree. And 192 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: literally this is if you manage a bit, I'm going 193 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: to walk off the set. He will have, you know, 194 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: nightmares from dinner conversations of your Meanwhile, we're as talking 195 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: about the e c V policy and tandem with e 196 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: c V stocks, and really the underlying question here is 197 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: is there an exit strategy that could be done with grace? 198 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: In other words, can you buy European stocks for a 199 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: longer period of time with faith that the ECB can 200 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: extract themselves easily and gracefully. Well, I think it's interesting 201 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: because you were talking about grace Kelly before and high 202 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: heels backwards about half the price. UM. If I take 203 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: a look at the exit out of this, the ECB 204 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: is watching the FED. Um. The European markets are actually 205 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: behind the US in terms of our recovery out of 206 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: or actually recovery from the COVID virus, because the vaccine 207 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: rollout was slower, um. And so I think they're really 208 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: looking at the markets. They're looking at the FED action, 209 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: and I think that the e c B will be 210 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: slower to act this time. UM. Just to have a 211 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: look what happened back in May where you saw kind 212 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: of Italian deels blow out and it was kind of 213 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: this mini tape the tantrum, And I think they're really 214 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: watching to see what happens because it's not just about 215 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: what the bit the e c B is saying, it's 216 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: the implications of that on various markets, for example, in 217 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: this case in Italy. All right, well let's talk a 218 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: little bit a little bit about Italy, and I guess 219 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: the reaction that at least a lot of us on 220 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: this side of the Atlantic look to when we try 221 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: to sort of divine what the ECB is going to 222 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: do and how it's going to be received. How are 223 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: investors in Italy right now, the investors in Italian debt 224 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: right now? Uh, preparing for whatever it is the ECB 225 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: may or may not do. If I take a look, 226 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: what we're looking at in Italy is support for the 227 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: new government. I think actually, where you know, I've talked 228 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: about Italian politics as as I say, as messy as 229 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: a bowl of spaghetti. But I think it's actually, at 230 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: this time it's probably the best outlook for Italy we've 231 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: had in a long time. And I think the EB 232 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: is aware of that. They need to be accommodated. I mean, continued, 233 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: anytime for one more question. We gotta get you back here. 234 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: This has been fascinating. What kind of a victory lap 235 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: is Mario Dragging going to take at G seven? I mean, 236 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: he's on top of the world right now, right, I 237 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: don't think he's going to take a victory lad. I 238 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: think he's a humble person and I think that he 239 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: is quietly doing what's white Wait wait, wait, wait wait, 240 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Contrada, Mario Dragging is a humble person. Really. 241 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: I think what he's doing and the role he's taking 242 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: in Italy is doing something that you want all with 243 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: politicians to do which is acting in the best interests 244 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: of the country, and I think that's what he is doing. 245 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't mean to interrupt it. We gotta go. But 246 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: in your research on luxury to find value for Franklin 247 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: Mutual series, don't you find the Gucci store below the 248 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: seven the Steps, the Spanish Steps. The Spanish Stairs in 249 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: Rome is the most dangerous store in Europe. I haven't 250 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: been there because of the travel band, but I am 251 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: very excited about the fact that Boris Johnson is now 252 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: meeting with Joe Biden and we may be able to 253 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: travel back to London and hopefully back to Spain so 254 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: that we could go there in person. There well, I 255 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: expect we do a road trip and we demand a 256 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: surveillance remote with you from the Spanish Stairs in Rome. Here, 257 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: Katrina Dudley, thank you so much on Franklin right now 258 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: widely anticipated. Jeffrey You joins us B and YML and 259 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: their senior strategist, Jeffrey You the zeitgeist right now. The 260 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: certitude is it's been one big short squeeze. Everyone was 261 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: betting on lower bond prices in higher yields and the 262 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: trade is swung with acceleration the other way, do you 263 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: buy it? That is just a short squeeze, um mad 264 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: And perhaps I'm heading into the summer months and people 265 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: just don't want to take too much risk on in 266 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: either direction now. But given the experience over the past 267 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: few years, you know, by definition, you know, risk on 268 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: means um actually having equities not as risk off. Well, 269 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: do you need to take that? That's okay, Jeff, Jeff, 270 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: you know what that is. That's Jeffrey, you gome stuck today. Yeah, 271 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: that's going on, jefflicit. We're looking at a bond market 272 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of people are saying that it's an 273 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: endorsement of the Fed's view that inflationary impulses are going 274 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: to be short lived and we're going to end up 275 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: in the same slow inflation kind of environment that we've 276 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: been in for the past several decades. Do you agree? 277 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: Is that the message from Bonnes Well again, the message 278 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: from bonds is and they want to know, you know 279 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: which type of inflation is that theft actually targeting. Let's 280 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: put it this way. We've actually had two straight months 281 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: of soft jobs, soft wage growth now in Germany in Euros, 282 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: BOE saying a wage growth wage settlement is not that strong. 283 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: The most hawkish region in the world right now, Central Europe, 284 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: Poland warning jobs are wage growth is not accelerating at 285 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: the same pace as before the pandemic, So is inflation 286 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: really hush? But then again, should we be targeting this 287 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: or is the market taking about that the short term 288 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: supply constraints, they're going to be permanent and this is 289 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: going to challenge the bond market and challenge the Fed 290 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: as well. Jeff, how many queues should we be taking 291 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: right now from the commodities market? I mean, we still 292 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: see our oil brent crews still camped out around our 293 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: seventy two bucks. You have a lot of the base 294 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: medals are either are at or sort of near their 295 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: record highs that they set back in April. And may 296 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: hear how much concern should be baked into reading those 297 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: prices right now? I think the market is very concerned. 298 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,479 Speaker 1: But if you look at what the policymakers are doing, 299 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: especially in China, what was the biggest marginal price for 300 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: commodity prices globally China? And China is saying commodity prices 301 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: are too high, that they are blaming too much liquidity. 302 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: They are blaming speculation as well, some of the domestically driven. 303 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: Granted we saw the monetary aggregates overnight. But on the 304 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: other hand, they are blaming global central banks as well. 305 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 1: So they're saying, look fed or reserve ECB, you're printing 306 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: too much money and we have to deal with the 307 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: consequences here. So China can use price controls as much 308 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: as they can, but the rest of the world less. 309 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: So hence we should be concerned at the combination of 310 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: tightening by China and globally to contain these prices. I 311 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: I look at where we are, Jeffrey you, and I'm 312 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: going to suggest that our radio and TV listeners their 313 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: heads are spinning over all the different opinions, all the theory, 314 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: the Ekano babble that's out there as well, And to me, 315 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: it comes down to the time continuum, the X axis. 316 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank looking out past two thousand twenty three with 317 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: their time bomb of inflation, and others looking wicked short term. 318 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: That's a Boston phrase. If you're with b and Y 319 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: Mel and Jeff you, you've got to have a full 320 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: understanding of the phrase wicked. What's the X axis look like? 321 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: For Jeff you? What does your continuum look like from 322 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: now out, one year out, two years, at three years. 323 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the next six months. Actually, I'm looking 324 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: at what the ECB will signal in September, not today, 325 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: but September. Talking about tapering. If you're looking at Eastern Europe, 326 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: you know they are signaling advancement already a full rate 327 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: cycle being priced in over the next eighteen months or so. 328 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: You're seeing some of that within Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand, 329 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: like all the list goes on and on. So I 330 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: don't think we should be blase and just go b 331 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: O J like oh, five year inflation expectations are are wherever. 332 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: It's much more about the short term and within the 333 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: next three months we need to see whether these supply 334 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: issues are indeed short term. But if they are going 335 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: to be persistent, then central banks probably will have to 336 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: move and that's going to introduce volatility into the market. So, Jeff, 337 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: what would you be doing right now? So right now again, 338 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: reading the tea leaves in terms of central banks probably 339 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: where in a holding pattern they're heading into August and September. 340 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: Look at the event risk, so you want to be 341 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: light on risk but then start to factor in upside 342 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: surprises for vol and for inflation. Got Jackson Hole coming 343 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: up where there's more communication. ECB September meeting is going 344 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: to be crucial. German elections is are going to be 345 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: a new era for europe reflation as well. The UK taper, 346 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: the furlough scheme coming off, and the bo WE will 347 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: decide where they want to move towards a new regime. 348 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: So I think all of this can actually happen in 349 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: the next three months, So for those waiting for another 350 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: year or so, I think that's going to be too late. 351 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: So risk light heading into summer, but you want to 352 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: have some risk on in either direction heading into August 353 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: and September. Any any confidence in the trade of being 354 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: short government banced, so that is still going to be 355 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: highly contingent, you know, on what the FEDS would So 356 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: for the short term, volatility is going to pick up, 357 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: so you want to own fixed income volatility that price wise, 358 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: they're going to keep the range in place because that 359 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: kind of tightening and financial conditions through lower prices and 360 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: higher yields. That's going to be a step too far 361 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: a central bank of the time being. But you want 362 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: to own a fixed in combab di Jeff for you, 363 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: thank you so much with bn y mel and greatly 364 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: greatly appreciate that. Joining us right now. Sebastian Galley Woria 365 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: coming to us today from Scenic looks a Sebastian, good morning, 366 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: Good morning. What is Luxembourg like? I think you know 367 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: seriously across this nation of America for most of our 368 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: good listeners, including me, I have trouble finding it on 369 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: a map. But but, but seriously, what what does Luxembourg 370 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: look like on a beautiful summer morning. It's beautiful, it's sunny, 371 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean a lot also um and there are 372 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: cows around, and it's a huge financial center, which is 373 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: a bit unusual, like a small country between Belgium, France, 374 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: uh and in Germany. They speak a dialect which is 375 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: a mixture of all three and they speak French and 376 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: German as well as English. So quite a few people 377 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: coming from the UK here. Is there a dominant language? 378 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: Is French the dominant language? No, it's what they call 379 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: Luxemburg Ley show duxin Bourgeois, which is a local language 380 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: which is a dialect slash language see folks that you 381 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: can learn on surveillance. It's mapping it right now. And yeah, boy, 382 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: I've been all around it. I just haven't been to 383 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: I've been all around semestion. Gilly has been all around 384 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: our economics, financial investment, semeestion. What is the thrust of 385 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: your note after you see the kind of inflation levels 386 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: we speak of in America. Yeah, it's it's a very 387 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: interesting phenomenon because of the reaction the equity markets relatively 388 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: positive for somewhere nonsense futures of two zero five exactly. 389 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: And what what do you have is inflation rising one 390 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: because the bottlenecks number two because people companies find it 391 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: easy to pause through inflation. Why because inflation becomes unstable. 392 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: Once inflation starts to rise, it has a certain tenity 393 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: to rise even more so people think they can pass 394 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: it through. We're gonna get negative economic data because of 395 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: this in the following month. And then wage expectations have 396 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: reset higher because people are much more optimistic. They have 397 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: suffered for decades of low, low wages and suddenly there's 398 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: a reset which is happening that feeds also into a 399 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: higher inflation. So the question, of course is whether this 400 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: is transitory or not. And the answer is and make 401 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: sure that a lot of it is transit OI and 402 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: some of it is permanent, which expectations have risen. This 403 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: is a new America and that's a different one. Record 404 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: high moments ago in the standard forced you can retire. Yeah, exactly, 405 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: I've had enough, all right, Sebashian. You know, we we're 406 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: hearing from the ECB today. We and we we have 407 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: a pretty consistent message from the Federal Reserve UH that 408 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: they are going to continue to support UH this economic environment. 409 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of folks I think starting to 410 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: say enough is enough, It's time to pull back. Here, 411 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: the world's reopening. Enough has been done here, we can 412 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: pull back. What do you think about that, Well, it's 413 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: if you imagine it. You're in the race and that 414 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: we've just basically started accelerating. The last thing you want 415 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: to do is shoot yourself in the foot. So you 416 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: want to continue accelerating as much as you can, but 417 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: there is a maximum amount of explorations you can reach 418 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: other once you get exhausted, and that's a fine balance 419 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: between shooting yourself in the foot and going too fast 420 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,239 Speaker 1: that the FED has to maintain. And as you can 421 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: fee with the reaction and yelling in US territory thing 422 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: interest rates have to go higher. We already are being 423 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: prepared for the phenomenon that interest rates eventually will go higher. 424 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: So the Fed agrees with you, but it is talking 425 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: to the US Treasury. Sebastian the sigooy over. That's luxembourgsh 426 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: the way I said that to sigooy over to your 427 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: wonderful note on China, I love what you say about 428 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,239 Speaker 1: clear and reliable signals of goodwill, and part of that 429 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: is a stronger and men be scene in China against 430 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: weaker dollar. Are you actually looking for a de escalation 431 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: of the tensions of China and the United States. Yes, 432 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: I I think that the comment which has been made 433 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: by the first talk of trade talks between the United 434 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: States and UH in China has been to dismiss them 435 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: and to say this doesn't matter. But it's very important 436 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: because in the process of the escalation is one of 437 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: the last up to two months. It's a very long process. 438 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: Why because you have to lead the opinion. The opinion 439 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: in the United States has been led against China and 440 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: China also against you US, and to change that process 441 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: is very difficult as slow. UH, the context, the language 442 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: has to change, means that the process which is started 443 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: now should continue. And then if therefore, the question is 444 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: not what's going to happen the next two months, which 445 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: is more positive news, but what happens afterwards? Uh, do 446 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: you get a credible deal? Do the Chinese let their 447 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: currency appreciate? Do you really deescalate? In a more fundamental basis, 448 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: They remain adversaries from a strategic point of view, but 449 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: they decide to some extent that engaging as the Europeans 450 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: are doing with the Chinese, the Americans are willing to 451 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: do with with China. And that is of course very 452 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: beneficial for both US equities and Chinese equities. All right, 453 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: specially with that backdrop, where do you see the greatest 454 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: opportunity as you think about your global macro outlook here, 455 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: given the various stages or the uneven stages of reopenings 456 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: and vaccine rates and that so on, were you doing 457 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: your most work now destruction? So what you can imagine 458 00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: is the world not of this year, not of the 459 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: next here, but in the following year, will be one 460 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: of moderate growth in develop economies, whether it's in the 461 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: United States or your particularly so in Europe. Less so 462 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: in the United States and disruptions, new technologies that change 463 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: fundamentally how we operate will allow companies to become more 464 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: cost efficient, demand to be better reached, and that process 465 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: has already started. These stocks tend to be expensive, and 466 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: the author are that they kind of are going to 467 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: get much much more expensive. So the process of creativity 468 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: is going to be rewarded evermore in the in the 469 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: following decades. And this is the beginning of the time 470 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: when you want to be focused on these kind of 471 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: positions within the cosmic nature of your strategy and the 472 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: Sebastian we love your research notes, but does it distill 473 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: down to your long in the stock market than in 474 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: this great bull market you can still own equities for 475 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: an enthusiasm of total return. You can so our value 476 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: on the U S stock markets. You want to be 477 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: a long value and cyclicals rather than growth. So we're 478 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: quite Britain on growth, particularly for next year, because we 479 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: think that as if at times will go through the 480 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: eye of the needle, what will happen once it goes 481 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: out there through the eye of the needle? If he's 482 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: going to rebound an incredibly rate. Why because they are 483 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: the companies which will generate the changes of tomorrow, not 484 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: only the company which sharing here, but the companies which 485 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: all here in the next last to ten years. So 486 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: that's a huge opportunity to step into growth. So growth 487 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: should stay expensive irrespective of the fact that it should 488 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: go through significant crashing. So for now we'd like the 489 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: JP Morgan, for example, more than Apple um. But it 490 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that Apple has a long term strategy. If 491 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: you can hold your portfolio for five a tenure is 492 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: just not an awesome position.
