Do 6 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: you want to get stand places? Sagi Natsia is the 7 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: chief economist and head of Global Economics and Markets Research 8 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: at Comments Sexy And coming off the back of a 9 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: weekend where you actually cut the outlook for us crow, 10 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: so let's start there with y. We cut the outlook 11 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: because there was there's been a very material tightening in 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: financial conditions over the last couple of months. All Financial 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: Conditions Index is up by more than two hundred basis 14 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: points from the end of two thousand and twenty twenty one, 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: and we think that that's going to keep growth below 16 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: trend over the next several quarters. Over the next year 17 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: or so, so we're now looking for only one and 18 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: a quarter percent growth this year on a fourth quarter 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter basis and then one and a 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: half percent next year. And I think that's needed to 21 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: create a little bit more capacity in the labor market, 22 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: in particular alongside an improvement in labor force participation, because 23 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: we have this huge gap between labor demand and labor supply. 24 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: We've got eleven and a half million open possessions and 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: six million unemployed workers, and that gap needs to shrink. 26 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: As share Powell has said, yeah, I want to talk. 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: There's any ways to go here, but I do want 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: to talk about sub two percent g d P. And 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: one of the partitions here is domestic final sales, a 30 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: review of the American economy versus export import dynamics on 31 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: the other side, and your call exact Pandel then can 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: throw in dollar dynamics as well. Is your call a 33 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: foreign call or is it a domestical It's really a 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: domestic call. Mostly that's the main driver here. I mean 35 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: first quarter, I had a lot of noise in the 36 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: in the trade statistics. I think some of that is 37 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: going to unravel, but I think it's really about higher 38 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: interest rates, lower stock prices, somewhat wider credit spreads, and 39 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: to some degree the appreciation of the dollar. But all 40 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: of those different drivers which are primarily going to impinge 41 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: on domestic demand, slowing growth to a much lower pace. 42 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: Do you see any indications at this time at the 43 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: labor economy is easy? Is it in the micro data 44 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: that you look at every week? Not yet in the data, No. 45 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: I think there are some signs in the more anecdotal reports, 46 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: company by company reports some of the tech firms scaling 47 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: back hiring, lowering open positions. In the hard data that 48 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: get published by the Labor Department not yet. Yeah, And 49 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: how high does unemployment have to get to reach that 50 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: sort of spare capacity they're looking for the labor market? 51 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: I actually don't think that the unemployment rate has to 52 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: rise a lot. What needs to happen, I think is 53 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: that companies bring down open positions. So the path that 54 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: the FEDS tight targeting is to slow growth to a 55 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: pace that is slow enough too for companies to shelve 56 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: some of their expansion plans and bring down some of 57 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: the open positions, but not so slow that you start 58 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: getting large numbers of layoffs. So we're expecting a little 59 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: bit of an increase in the unemployment rate from the 60 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: you know, three and a half percent range to the 61 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: three and three quarter percent range, but not a large increase. 62 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: Do you think that basically Michelle Meyer was correct when 63 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: she was talking about the ability for consumers to lever 64 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: up even if their incomes aren't keeping pace with the 65 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: with the inflation rate right now, and that basically the 66 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: FED has to go a lot faster even still, then 67 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: if then people seem to think in order to slow that, 68 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: otherwise we're going to get even more overheating. Well, I think, 69 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: you know, borrowing is going to be a short term 70 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: uh driver of spending, and I think has been to 71 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: some degree. If you look at the consumer credit numbers 72 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: over the last couple of months, there clearly has been 73 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: some you know, re leveraging to some degree. But I 74 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: don't think that that's going to be a lasting kind 75 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: of uh, you know, support for for spending. So I 76 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: think the sumer spending is going to be relatively slow. 77 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 1: Income is going to be quite weak in two thousand 78 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: and twenty two. We're looking for only zero point five 79 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: percent real income growth on the fourth quarter to fourth 80 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: quarter basis on an annual average basis actually significantly weaker 81 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: than that. But even on a Q four, the Q 82 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: four basis only zero point five and I think that's 83 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: going to keep spending pretty soft. Long on fair away 84 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: there was Dudley and mclvy and this young whipper snapper 85 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: from Germany. What was his name? I think it was 86 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: heart serious is what it was. You codified emmy W 87 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: mortgage would you withdraw? Let me cut to the chase yourn. 88 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: When does the housing market break? Well, emmy W is 89 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: actually a very important issue. Again, not as important, I 90 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: think as going into the oh eight crisis, but there 91 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: has been a pick up in mortgagee would you withdrawal 92 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: over the last year, and you've got had this increase 93 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: in consumer credit as well. You know, similar kind of dynamic. 94 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: This supports spending in the in the short term, but 95 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: ultimately is not going to be a sustainable source of 96 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: big increases in spending. So builds in a slowdown sort 97 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: of down the road. And I think you know when 98 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: the housing market slows, of course, is going to determine 99 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: the timing of that. We haven't really seen significant slowing 100 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: in the in the part data yet. I do expect 101 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: that mortgage rates up even more than ten. Treasure Pharaoh 102 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: wants to know should he buy in June or July. 103 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm not going to give advice on that that I 104 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: think is probably not not don't worried that's too long 105 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: term for you and it's finished here just quickly. What's 106 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: the biggest risk right now to your view? Well, I 107 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 1: think the the FED is still trying to bring down 108 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: you know, slow slow the economy, slow employment, and bring 109 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: down open positions because they're still worried about inflation being 110 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: too high and it will be well above target for 111 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. I do think it's going to come down, 112 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: but if it doesn't come down quickly enough, we can see, 113 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, still significantly higher rates. Our call at the 114 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: moment is three to three in a quarter percent for 115 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: the funds rate. We've stuck with that and it's you know, 116 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: fairly close to market pricing. But I think the risk 117 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: cases that you know, they have to do more, and 118 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: that then also raises the risk of a hard landing. 119 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: Not our baseline, but that would be the rest of 120 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: the upside. Wrist the rights clear in present. Yeah, thank you, 121 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: as always, Saxon. We're thrilled to bring you now someone 122 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: hardwired to the retail of America and particularly the aspiration 123 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: that all of us are guilty of. Dana Telsey, his 124 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: chief executive officer chief research officer at Telsey advisory group 125 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: and lives in New York retail truly like no one 126 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: I know. Dana. I was absolutely crushed at the price 127 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: rise on the Selena hoodie sweatshirt the men's it's got 128 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: the Selene thing on it. I thought it should be 129 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: in my closet. I mean there was. It was eight 130 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: hundred bucks and all of a sudden, it's nine dollars. 131 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: Everything's going up in price, right it has. We're seeing 132 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: price increases and Tom, thank you for having me. Price 133 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: increases across the board on many different categories, especially on 134 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: luxury goods. The consumer is buying, and we're seeing a 135 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: wide range of rumors buying in terms of demographics and 136 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: age group. The brand matters and they find ways to 137 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: pay for it. But what is so important here from 138 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: the days of you, I I bear Stearns, where you're doing, 139 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, channel shops and going through Abercromie and Fitch, 140 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: is the way we buy this stuff is fundamentally changed. 141 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: How important for you and Joe Feldman is a firm 142 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: is PayPal credit? Is the access of get that Selene 143 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: sweatshirt now and pay for it later. That sea change, 144 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: It is a sea change. It's very important and frankly 145 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: it lifts the sales and also the companies are learning 146 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: what to produce because of the options that they have, 147 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: both buying in store and buying online. The world today 148 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: is more integrated than it ever has and we're watching 149 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: sell through, watching influences, We're watching Instagram in order to 150 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: pick up what are the trends that are going to 151 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: mean something on main street? So what are you expecting 152 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: right now in about ten minutes time? And these retail 153 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 1: sales numbers, I mean I think April hopefully should be 154 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: a little bit better. We saw gas prices come in 155 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. We still have an environment, like was 156 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, a shift to services from goods. We're expecting 157 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: a big summer season and vacation. The other thing is 158 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: you have two point six million weddings occurring this year. 159 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: On average, people spend around four hundred thirty dollars every 160 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: time they go to a wedding, so you'll still have 161 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: some of that good spending. April should have been a 162 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: little bit better. But inflation is a headwind and that 163 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: is in every aspect that companies are dealing with. Its 164 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: people change the way they pay for luxury goods. Do 165 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: we have to change the way we think about who's 166 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: shopping there. Typically we think of the high income earner 167 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: and the luxury goods, and those two are so closely tether. 168 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: I just wanted to Donna if that's changed now over 169 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I think it has. I 170 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: think you've gotten the millennials and the gen z s, 171 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: and I think the brand awareness the collaborations that have 172 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: been done is bring making these luxury brands younger and 173 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: younger while still keeping the ethos and the interests of 174 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: the higher income down graphics. As interest rates go up, 175 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: can they maintain the buying? I see the lines outside 176 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: of the luxury stores in Soho, we all do. We 177 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: could spot the average age in that line as well. 178 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: What's gonna happen here does not look good as you 179 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: look further forward. I mean, we need the Chinese to 180 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: come back and spend Right now, you're seeing some tourism 181 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: happen with Europeans coming to the US. Will need that 182 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Asian traveler. But the product innovation is key. We've seen 183 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: what demand can be when newness is out there. You've 184 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: seen it from LVMH with their brands. You look at 185 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: what's happening with Tiffany's you've seen what it's what's happening 186 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: with bolln Siaga. There there are luxury brands that matter 187 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: to these consumers. There's a bigger issue underpitting John's question. 188 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: It's an important one, which is at what point will 189 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: higher borrowing costs really matter, especially as more consumers do 190 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: start to level up in order to keep their purchasing 191 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: at the same levels as before inflation took off to 192 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: the way that it is now. I think overall, the 193 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: lower income consumer at the lower end, obviously they're struggling. 194 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: The middle income can summer continues to get some higher wages, 195 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: and those wages are allocated. It may not be allocated 196 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: to goods, but allocated to services above that mid tiers. 197 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: The question mark if there's a pullback given what debt 198 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: levels could look like. Dana, your thoughts, thoughts and Joe 199 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: Filman's work on Amazon has been great, but I'm gonna 200 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: editorialize and say Amazon has been a train wreck your 201 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: thoughts and now they turn it around. I mean, there's 202 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: work to be done there and Amazon. The narrative that 203 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: was two and three years ago that Amazon is going 204 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: to take over a retail and the consumer spend isn't there. 205 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: It definitely cost more to be able to shift than 206 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: ever before. Everyone basically expected what was happening online sales 207 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: to continue the growth, and we're seeing that shift now. 208 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: We're seeing the shift of a return to stores from 209 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: digital sales. That's helping the physical store retailer. And frankly, 210 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: digital sales are moderating, and that Sianca is a brand. 211 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: I just don't get t k. What is a Cianca about? 212 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: You know, to be honest, I just but you know, 213 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: on data will be dazzled by this. I actually watched 214 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: a little short video on the Guide Balanceaga that he went. 215 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: He went bankrupt like three times, and every time he 216 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: came out he revolutionized what he did out of Spain 217 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: and it was with always with drama, John and I 218 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: guess that's what it is. I don't get it, Dana. 219 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: I'm convinced that in a few years time they come 220 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: out of the head office and say, got you. This 221 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: was all a joke, but you bought it anyway. I 222 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: just don't get it. I think one of the things 223 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: they do, you can go buy their windows like I 224 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: did last night. They're putting things in their windows that 225 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: whether it's big inflated balloons in the in the look 226 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: of a person, they're basically creating that something you need 227 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: to see. And frankly, there's a difference between heritage and 228 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: authentic luxury, like what you have with the quality of 229 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: the goods at our mez, and there's a difference with 230 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: what's happening now that is in demand because of limited supply. 231 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: That's what some of the brands. Dana, what does your 232 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: universe do when we come off China lockdown? Uh, the 233 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: luxury goods universe will do very well. But also don't 234 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: forget what China supplies. Every manufacturer is looking to diversify 235 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: their supply and being able to get the goods is key, brilliant, 236 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: thank you, awesome advantag Do you know that the sweatshirts 237 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: I thought, if you bought a luxury sweatshirt that didn't 238 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: shrink in the wash, I guess you got to watch 239 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: out for tom as if the other half takes set 240 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: sweatshirt and shrinks it deliberately so that they can wear it. 241 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: To bet the idea that women spend so much more 242 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: than men, I mean, that's typically the stereotype. It's going 243 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: to paint out that's exactly right. I just want to 244 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: make that very clear now joining us, and this is 245 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: a really important conversation for you on radio and television 246 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: because Sky Clemens, with thirty plus years of Brown Brothers 247 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: hareman synthesizes in all the eco babble into the market 248 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: strategy and your foundation, Scott Clemens, is everybody calm down 249 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: about inflation? If you're brief and Chairman Powell today in 250 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: the forty seven other FED speakers, how do you tell 251 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: them to calm down about inflation? Um, I think it 252 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: pays to be a simple minded economist given all of 253 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: the moving parts that you've laid out here. At the 254 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: top of the hour, I would remind the FED. Far 255 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: be it for me to lecture the FED, but I 256 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: would remind the FED that the price of everything, in 257 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: the price of anything, is simply the interaction of supply 258 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: and demand, and that the FED has an ability to 259 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: influence demand through monetary policy, but the FED does not 260 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: have the ability to influence supply. So to the degree 261 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: that lingering inflation is a result of lingering supply chain disruptions, 262 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: the FED should not get over eager and raise interest 263 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: rates too much. Much to try to choke off inflation 264 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: that ends up not being demand driven to begin with. 265 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: I think that's the story for inflation and the FED 266 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: for the balance of this year. Let's talk about the 267 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: story for this market. MARKA. Kolanovich of JP Mulgan and 268 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: the investment banks saying we're pricing in too much recession 269 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: risk just two pound question one to agree and to 270 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: how do you measure that? I think that's right. I 271 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: think the market is too pessimistic about the risk of 272 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: inflation in an environment where we're adding jobs and roughly 273 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: let's call it half a million jobs a month, net 274 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: wages arising. Combined those things together, keeping in mind of 275 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: personal consumption is sixty percent of GDP going to twenty 276 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: three twenty four. Yeah, there's a recession out there somewhere, 277 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: but I don't see that in the near term. The 278 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: background was just too strong. Where I think the confusion 279 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: or the anxiety arises is we're still in the midst 280 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: of this transition of economic leadership away from the policy 281 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: support of easy monetary policy and a lot of fiscal 282 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: spending twelve eighteen, twenty four months ago, back to a 283 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: more normal driver of economic active that's naturally anxiety inducing. 284 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: I get it, but I think people are looking at 285 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: the glasses being half empty. There are a lot of 286 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: half full notions out there as well. Well. Are have 287 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: full notion something that would encourage the Fed to hike 288 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: further leading to half empty? And I know this sounds 289 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: like a paradise, a parody of what it is to 290 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: be gloomy, but honestly, this is what a lot of 291 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: people are thinking. That the momentum that we're seeing in 292 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: a lot of the economic data is a bad thing 293 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: because it means the FED has to do more. What 294 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: do you say to counter that? Well, at least I 295 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: think the answer to that is what's really important. And 296 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: this is a subtle nuance, but I think this is 297 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: the source of a lot of the volatility and financial markets. 298 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: The important thing is not that the Fed is raising 299 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: interest rates, but why they're raising interest rates. And admittedly 300 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: that's very subjective, but if the Fed, on one hand, 301 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: is raising interest rates out of growing confidence that this 302 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: transition and leadership is taking place, that's a pretty benign 303 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: and even supportive outcome. If, on the other hand, the 304 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: market concludes that inflation is running away and the FED 305 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: is playing catch up. That's a very just up to outcome, 306 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: and I think the push and pull between those two 307 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: notions is what drives market volatility, not just day to day, 308 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: but sometimes even hour to hour. We've we've all seen 309 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: these days in which the market opens strongly and closes 310 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: in the red or vice versa. Hopefully today's opening polls, 311 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: but I think that's likely to continue for some time 312 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: to come. We're telling our clients to get used to 313 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: the kind of intra day volatility that has characterized the 314 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: beginning of this year. It's not gonna go away anytime soon. 315 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: So given that, where's your highest conviction right now, Scott Well, 316 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: With the rise in interest rates, we've begun allocating capital 317 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: into traditional fixed income for the first time close to 318 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: a decade. For our clients at Brown withs Harim and 319 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: taxable clients, remmisciple bonds are are offering a better trade 320 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: off of risk and return than we've seen in quite 321 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: some time. Beyond that, the carnage in equity markets has 322 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: left a lot to find. I take a very simple 323 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 1: measure and look at the percentage of stocks in an 324 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: index trading below their fifty day moving average as of 325 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: last night's close. Seventy eight percent of the SMP was 326 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: below it's fifty day moving average. Of the Russell two 327 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: thousand and nine point nine five percent of the NASTAC 328 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: is trading below it's fifty day moving average. That doesn't 329 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: mean that everything is cheap, but it certainly means that 330 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: among that carnage there are plenty of good trade offs 331 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: of risk and return. Scott, let's think positive. Let's say 332 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: you go down in flames with your inflation call. Instead 333 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: of getting two to three percent inflation, you fail, you're wrong, 334 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: and we get four point two percent inflation by the 335 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: end of the year. That is a c change from 336 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: where we are right now. What does the stock market 337 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: do if Clemens is wrong? That's probably more disruptive for 338 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: the stock market if Clemens turns out to be wrong. 339 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: I think, though, at the same time, the trajectory of 340 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: inflation is important. If at the end of this year 341 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: the inflation number still starts with the four but we're 342 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: headed in the right direction, that's different. In that environment, 343 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: I would want to own companies that have pricing power, 344 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: companies that passed through those higher input costs to their 345 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: end customers. That that tends to be associated with brand, loyalty, 346 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: essential products and services, repeat customers, all the kinds of 347 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: quality markers of a company. Not that they're immune from 348 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: an inflationary environment like that, but there are a lot 349 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: more resistant to it. Right to catch up, scill as 350 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: always a different perspective of things at the moment, skilled 351 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: climates at Brand brother Sentiment. Right now, we are all 352 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: aware it is yield up and price down. That is 353 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: the mix, the toxic mix for something rare in the 354 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: last decades, a bond bear market. When you Seesar's living, 355 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: this is global head of strategy at Credit Sites and 356 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: she knows, well, you can talk about spreads and you 357 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: can analyze loans in different categories and the answer is 358 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: prices down. And she joins us this morning, I want 359 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: to look at the Bloomberg Total Aggregate Index, Total Return Aggregate, 360 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: Full Faith and Credit Index, and the answer is we're 361 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: down twelve ice seven percent. Analyze. Can you state it's 362 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: a bond bear market? It feels like we're in a 363 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: bond bear market. And from talking to the credit investors 364 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: that I speak to on a regular basis, they are 365 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: certainly seeing a lot of signs of kind of continuing negativity. 366 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: Don't fight the FED is definitely the mantra in the 367 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: bond market, and the FED seems to be on a 368 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: very hawkish course to continue to high rates. That being said, 369 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: there are some signs of kind of constructive positivity on 370 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: on the credit market side of things. Well, no, but 371 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: in the equity market, I clawback on growth, I called 372 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: clawback on use of cash. How do you claw back 373 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: from a twelve percent loss? Frankly, and I g it 374 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: could be an eight percent loss? What's the strategy to 375 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: clawback in fixed income? So in fixed income, we've had 376 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: two phases of the sell off. First, it was all duration. 377 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: We saw higher rated, longer duration assets sell off as 378 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: we saw that big sensitivity to the moving yields. Now 379 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: with everybody very concerned about growth or moving into the 380 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: credit risk phase of the sell off, and this means 381 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: you have to be very selective in terms of where 382 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: you are positioning your risk, and that is actually a 383 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: very good sign for these dedicated credit investors who have 384 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: longer term views and longer term mandates rather than kind 385 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: of a three to six month time horizon like we 386 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: usually see in the equity market, when you with about 387 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: an hour ago before we get retail sales. When you 388 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: take a look at the corporate fundamentals, which sectors are 389 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: starting to feel the biggest hit from some of the 390 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: weakness that at least we saw in Walmart, if not beyond. 391 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: So we're definitely seeing a shift away from some of 392 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: the COVID pandemic darlings, some of the consumer staples and 393 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: retails side of things. But we are also seeing a 394 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: continued improvement in energy fundamentals. While we might not hold 395 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: energy prices where they currently are, the levels are still 396 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: going to be quite strong for cash flow and credit investors. 397 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: And we're also seeing some idiosyncredit risk in some sectors, 398 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: things like high yield healthcare and how yield telecom. We're 399 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: seeing some single name stories that are really driving outside 400 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: spread widening in those specific sectors. They're sort of an 401 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: existential question facing credit right now. Yes, borrowing costs are 402 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: a lot higher, but companies don't really have to borrow. 403 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: And if they don't have to borrow, does it matter, right, 404 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: I mean, does it actually affect their bottom line? When 405 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: do companies have to start borrowing again and actually locking 406 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: in these yields that are incredibly high relative to where 407 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: they were a year ago. That's a great point, Lisa, 408 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: and I would also say the yields are high relative 409 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: to one year ago, but let's not forget that one 410 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: year ago was the absolute rock bottom for borrowing costs, 411 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: a level that we're probably not going to see again, 412 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: at least for a long period of time. And so 413 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: even if borrowing costs have moved up by call it 414 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: a hundred a hundred and fifty basis points in investment 415 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: grade from a long term perspective, that is still a 416 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: very low level of borrowing costs. And in fact, the 417 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: amount of no issue that we've seen this year has 418 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: been quite robust because a lot of companies are looking 419 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: at those current borrowing costs and saying, well, you know, 420 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: the is actually still not a terrible time to be 421 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: um continuing to add to the balance sheet, continuing to 422 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: refinance transactions. And then in the high yield market, that's 423 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: where we've seen the most liability management, really giving a 424 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: lot of these issuers a reprieve from having to go 425 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: to the capital markets. And we probably have another twelve 426 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: to twenty four months before there's really a lot of urgency, 427 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: especially for the higher rated parts of the high yield market. 428 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: The double b issuers when this presents a real issue 429 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: for the FED. And we were talking about this on 430 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: the consumer side with with Michelle Meyer of master Card. 431 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: But if a lot of these companies are immune to 432 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: more substantial FED rate hikes at least at a financing level, 433 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: how high can the FED raise rates before presents a 434 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: credit issue. So I think that the way the FED 435 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: looks at the credit markets is functioning of capital markets. 436 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: Are deals pricing is their investor demand, And for the 437 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: investment grade market in particular, deals are still pricing, albeit 438 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: at pretty steep new issue concensions relative to last year, 439 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: and order books have been relatively solid. So I think 440 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: the FED is looking at the investment grade market and saying, 441 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: there are clearly some technical challenges going on in this market, 442 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: but from a borrowing perspective and pure liquidity flowing, we 443 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: can continue to hike rates. Now we're in kind of 444 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: the approach to the danger zone a hundred and fifty 445 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: basis points of spread. You usually don't hold that for 446 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: very long in the i G market. Either you break 447 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: one way or the other. And if you break to 448 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: two hundred, that's when the FED has to take a 449 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: little bit of a pause. And say our capital markets 450 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: still functioning when he want when he says to that 451 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: of credits sis.
