WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Wei Li & Anna Wong

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news, single best idea on

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>a lazy Friday in the summer, Except it wasn't. It

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>was really interesting conversations across a wide set of topics,

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and of course one of them is the politics of

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the morning. Thank you Margaret Brennan with Face the Nation

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>on CBS, because we do a whole host of the

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Sunday talk shows. You hear that on Bloomberg Radio on

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Sunday at two pm in Washington and Boston and New

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>York as well. And all that's interesting about Washington, But

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>as we slip into the summer, it is about a

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:49.239
<v Speaker 1>resilient stock market. It is about trying to get a

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>measure of where we are in the continuum. For Wayley

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of Black Rock, it's an analog back to two thousand

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and seven.

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 2>If we think about the peerage after Mobal financial crisis,

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>with the injection of Emmas pool of liquidity, companies that

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't have good fundamentals were rallying alongside companies with very

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 2>good fundamentals. And this is what I meant by rising

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>tight lifting all boats. But we're now in an environment

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 2>of greater dispersion. We're in an environment of secular transformations

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 2>like AI that is likely going to imply winners take hold.

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 2>So this is an environment where being active and selective

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 2>pays off more. And this is not a hypothesis. Our

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 2>study actually shows that in a period coming out of

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>the pandemic, actually the additional alpha generated by good active

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>managers is greater compared to the peerage when rising tight

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 2>was lifting all boats.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Really they are are black rec and this is a

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>side note, she writes brilliantly on LinkedIn. One of the

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>reasons to be on LinkedIn. I'm on LinkedIn. Thank you

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Shaneli Bassk for pushing me that way is wayley. She

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 1>just this great, great short chart driven work for Blackrock

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>out on LinkedIn. Anna Wong. People say where is she?

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I get emails, live chat on YouTube. Where is she?

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>She was on the Pacific RIM. Bloomberg is a global

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 1>country a company, I should say, And it's really important

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>to understand that every once in a while, the US

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.679
<v Speaker 1>team has to go and sit on the Pacific RIM.

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>That's what doctor Wong has been doing for weeks on

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>any ear. She is back and she was spirited today

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>about looking at the American labor economy.

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 3>Recall that last year. The July jobs report was what

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 3>caused this flash crash in August. So what happens in

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 3>this coming jobs report is that on a non seasonally

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 3>adjusted basis, there should be over a million job losses

0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 3>from yes, from local sector, from local government, from education sector.

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 3>So last month everybody was like, wow, the job of persurprise,

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 3>of the upside, But it's entirely due to the facade

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 3>of a seasonal adjustment in the local government sector. So

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 3>now that in July we're supposed to see this, you know,

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 3>a million job losses in the sector, plus you have

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 3>this rebound from the seasonal you overestimation in the last month,

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 3>I think that that's the place to watch weather, because

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 3>we do know that local government is not hiring.

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Great damn annawe Back really can't say enough about it.

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>She was brilliant today in freshwater versus saltwater economics. That's

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the East Coast, the ocean versus the Great Lakes of Carnegie, Mellon,

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and Rochester of years ago, over to Chicago and out

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to the Midwest. Thanks to John Farrell for a great conversation.

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Waller today a really important conversation with a gentleman

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>from the Saint Louis FED now in Washington as a

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Governor of the FED. On our podcast, we're on Spotify,

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>were on Apple as well, and on YouTube podcasts. It's

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:17.120
