Good morning, I'm 233 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 5: Nathan Hager. The wave of central bank decisions around the 234 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 5: world crashes. 235 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 13: Into the US this week. 236 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 3: The FED begins its final policy meeting of twenty twenty 237 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: four tomorrow with the rate decision on Wednesday, and we're 238 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 3: also going to hear from the Bank of Japan and 239 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: the Bank of England before this final full training week 240 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four is out here to get a 241 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: set for at all. Bloomberg Radio and TV anchor Kritty Gufta, 242 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: so critty. It seems like a cut this week from 243 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 3: the Fed is just about baked into this market. But 244 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 3: the big question remains, what about twenty twenty five? 245 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 5: Good morning, Good. 246 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 13: Morning, Nathan. Yeah, that seems to be the question. 247 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 14: Goldman Sachs, for example, already saying that that's where you 248 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 14: get a rate cut skip for example. And remember this 249 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 14: was a really key strategy that the Fed had done 250 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 14: on the way up where they were hiking. They said 251 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 14: we would maybe hike, take a pause, hike again and 252 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 14: just give the economy a second to digest at a 253 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 14: time when they need to act quickly, but not enough 254 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 14: to kind of shock the system. And luckily, the economy 255 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 14: was able to digest every single rate hike, even when 256 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 14: they were say fifty basis points or seventy five basis 257 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 14: points or even one hundred basis It feels like they 258 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 14: may be doing the same thing on the way down. 259 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 14: I have no insight, no crystal ball, but that is 260 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 14: something that Goldman Sacks is suggesting could be a possibility 261 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 14: in terms of that strategy. 262 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 13: Because it had worked on the way up as well. 263 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 14: But Nathan, the concern I think is what happens if 264 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 14: you startainly get more inflation in twenty twenty five. 265 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 13: That's when cutting is not the strategy that works. 266 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 3: What's to stop the Fed from going ahead and pausing 267 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 3: this week? Is it just about the messaging that's been 268 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: put out there that if they sort of gave the 269 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 3: market a head fake like that, that it would cause 270 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 3: even more volatility. 271 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 2: It's a really hard question. 272 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 14: I can't see why, just given kind of the message 273 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 14: that they've given so far, why there would be hesitation 274 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 14: simply because when they have looked at things, citing the 275 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 14: labor market for example, they've said there's been a lot 276 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 14: of strength, but that they do want to ensure that 277 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 14: that strength continues, and that there is still a lot 278 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 14: of hikes kind of bakes the system. So even cutting 279 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 14: that policy still leaves the federal reserve at a fairly 280 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 14: restrictive level. 281 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 13: They're just kind of creating a little bit of that headroom. 282 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 14: So that's at least the argument that's been posed by 283 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 14: a lot of these FOMC members when it comes to 284 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 14: labor market. Even when it comes to the CPI. But Nathan, 285 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 14: I imagine when you look at the commentary, that's where 286 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 14: you need to see where their head is at. Because 287 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 14: in previous iterations of this of these kind of concerns 288 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 14: about economic resilience out of the United States, some members, 289 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 14: some economists even on Wall Street, including a very own 290 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 14: analog at Bloomer Economics, have pointed to cracks that are 291 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 14: not in say, your top tier markets, but are in 292 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 14: smaller markets in the United States. Let me elaborate, the 293 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 14: housing market has come up multiple times in that even 294 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 14: though you're seeing some extreme property value jumps in New York, La, Miami, etc. 295 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 14: You are starting to see cracks in the likes of Seattle, 296 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 14: and the likes of Dallas, and the likes of kind 297 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 14: of the smaller markets that are maybe say Tier two 298 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 14: cities for example. Another place you may see it is 299 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 14: that some of the major industries have been laying off 300 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 14: workers and not kind of replenishing that work supply. 301 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 13: I've seen a lot in the IT industry. You've seen 302 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 13: it a lot in. 303 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 14: Kind of more public funded roles like teaching, for example. 304 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 14: That's really where some of the data is starting to 305 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 14: come up. But net net, the numbers on wage growth, 306 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 14: on CPI, on labor, even on housing prices have been positive. 307 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 14: So when they're saying that they want to potentially cut rates, 308 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 14: and it's in response to not slowing any of that 309 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 14: down but perhaps creating a little bit more headroom where 310 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 14: they may need it. 311 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 13: In twenty twenty five. 312 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: And just thirty seconds left, is there a concern that 313 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 3: the Fed that Trump policy is going to force them 314 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: to keep stay more restrictive. 315 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 14: I mean, that's the highlight, that's the elephant in the room, right. 316 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 14: The idea that in twenty nineteen J. Powell and the 317 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 14: first things he did was cut interest rates when Donald 318 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 14: Trump was talking about a trade war with China was 319 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 14: the first inclination of it. And that actually worked because 320 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 14: again it created more headroom. But the question is do 321 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 14: you create insurance rate cuts given that the lag could 322 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 14: still be twelve to eighteen months, And that's the strategy 323 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 14: that no one has quite figured out yet. 324 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg day Break, your morning podcast on the 325 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 326 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 327 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 328 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 329 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 330 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 331 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: Bloomberg ninety two to nine in Boston, and nationwide on 332 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: serious XM Channel one twenty one. 333 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 2: Plus. 334 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business App now 335 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 3: with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 336 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
