WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Russ Brownback & Jay Hatfield

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news, A.

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Single best idea, a great set of conversations today, just wonderful,

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 2>wonderful guests here getting towards I guess an end to

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.799
<v Speaker 2>a government shutdown. Joe Matthew driving that beast into the

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>afternoon and no doubt into the evening. Major shout out

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Nathan Dean with terrific perspective in Washington from Bloomberg Government

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 2>assisting mightily. This morning, we did a lot on bonds.

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 2>It was sort of a bond day, fixed income day

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>at Bloomberg Surveillance. Andrew Sizarowski at Eaton Vance Morgan Stanley

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>was absolutely brilliant on the uniqueness of this market with

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>decades of experience. Russell Brownbeck at Blackrock followed on and

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 2>really put in perspective where we are in clipping coupons here.

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Rus a very large catalyst this coming year is going

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 3>to be as that policy rate comes down. We think

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 3>the feder will deliver what's priced into markets, which is

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 3>down close to neutral by the third or fourth quarter

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 3>of next year. And then you start to think about

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 3>those trillions of dollars sitting in cash today, and cash

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 3>has been a very high sharp ratio allocation heretofore for

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.320
<v Speaker 3>the last six or eight quarters. I think that money

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 3>will begin to migrate into some longer tenors as some

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 3>of those investors look to lock in this opportunity set.

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.919
<v Speaker 3>And we don't see a lot of overall duration beta

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 3>move in this coming year. So again it's going to

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 3>be about harvesting that income as a window.

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Into the fixed income world with Russ Brownback just can't

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 2>say enough about the acuity here of some of our

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>fixed income guests at Joe Eisenthal and Tracy Alloway in

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 2>to celebrate ten years of Odd Lots. Today we're talking

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>about windows into Global Wall Street for people that aren't

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Global Wall Street. Let me attempt that right now. Jay

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Hatfield was in today with infrastructure assets, and he acclaimed

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>from seven thousand standard and pores five hundred out to

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>seventy seven hundred standard and pores five hundred. That's a

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>DOWO equivalent of over fifty three thousand. He's looking out

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.239
<v Speaker 2>there somewhere to go from forty eight thousand to fifty

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 2>three thousand on the Dow Jones industrial average, just for

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 2>cocktail conversation. So what do you do with that? The

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>word the pros use is extrapolation. Let me explain how

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>you do it. On the Bloomberg terminal. You take a

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 2>given series the Dow. You look at a given trend

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>that you have. I took the trend from the autumn

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty two, which I call the Yardenni and

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Caumpora Lowe. You got a bullmark, a trend up into

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>the right. You take that and you extrapolate that out,

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>and you can do all this on the Bloomberg terminal.

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Then you take from here and now Jay Hatfield's call

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 2>of seventy seven on the SPX is that an outrageous extrapolation?

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Is that responsible? And what's amazing is out twelve months,

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>if we were to get to SPX seventy seven hundred,

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>it's beneath that regression extrapolation. It is a responsible call.

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 2>And hearkens back to the fundamental analysis of someone like

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>ed Yard Denny or Brian Belski at Humanist John John

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Stolfus with us at Oppenheimer the other day on this

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>bull market, Jay Hatfield, we.

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 4>Are very constructive, a little bit more next year than

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 4>this year. We have a seven thousand target this year.

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 4>You notice we kind of faded off that when we

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 4>got to sixty nine to forty. And we have drawn

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 4>a distinction because we've been asked to probably one hundred

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 4>times whether we're in a tech bubble, and we say no,

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 4>we're definitely not. But that doesn't mean we're not pretty

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 4>fully valued. On TI We see the maggate is right

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 4>around fair value except for Tussel, which is massively overvalued.

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 4>And so you're seeing that kind of behavior in the

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 4>market where kind of every other day people fade the

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 4>tech rally and we get a rotation and like today,

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 4>we're actually rallying in tech, some more churning than straight up.

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 4>But we have a seventy seven hundred target for next year.

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely unbelievable. I don't know anyone out there with a

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:31.359
<v Speaker 2>published seventy seven hundred target. And again, the extrapolation of

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that call by j Hatfield is beneath the trend extrapolation

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 2>back to October of twenty twenty two. It's amazing what

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 2>the Bloomberg terminal can do on your podcast on Apple

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 2>and Spotify, on YouTube podcasts. It's single best idea
