00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: We are thrilled to bring you Bob Michael Global had

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: a fixed income JP Morgan Asset Management the real yield

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 2: out of two point one one percent. I haven't done

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: a standard deviation study. When does a higher real yield

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: impinge on the American economy and on industry in America?

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: Well, I would argue right now it's already starting to

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: have an impact, because it was only a week ago

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: that we came out of the FOMC meeting expecting a

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: couple rate cuts, and you looked at the labor market

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: that was their primary concern for good reason, it seemed

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: a bit soft. Now you're paying a lot more to

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: fill up your automobiles, and if you're a business, your

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 1: input costs or energy's gone up. I would say it's

15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: having an impact right about now.

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: If that is the case, certainly for a lot of

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: full are starting to feel it. How does the FED

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: react to that? There's really not a whole lot they

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: can do, is there?

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: I think the problem is at these levels there's no

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: obvious solution because even ourselves with one hundred dollars oil,

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: we don't see recession. We see growth. Slowing down a

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: lot from where we had it, inflation going up a

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: little bit. Then they just have to wait and see

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: what cracks First. Does the labor market come under a

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: lot of pressure and unemployment go up? Or do they

27
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: see energy prices passed through to finish goods and services

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: and consumers still buying and demanding wage price spirals.

29
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: David Rosenberg in Toronto publishes moments Ago Rosenberg Research quote,

30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: still no market panic inequities even with a vis out

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: of twenty nine point five three. How do you measure

32
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: in Is there panic in the Bob Michael world? I

33
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: mean price down, yield up? How does it you know?

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: Equity panic? How does it work in the bond space?

35
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: It's well, there are also volatility indicators in the bond market,

36
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: and they've actually been muted. So it's been a surprisingly

37
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: orderly sell off, a little bit at a time. A

38
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: lot of confidence that you have an administration looking for

39
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: an off rapp they'll find one. They watch the markets,

40
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: they know the midterm elections are coming up soon. They

41
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: have to figure out how to extricate themselves from the

42
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: Middle East, and that's what the market's hanging it's hot on.

43
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 3: So the FED has a little bit of leeway the

44
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 3: US economy. We are a net exporter of oil. But boy,

45
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: I guess we're all learning how exposed other parts of

46
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: the world are to this pinch in Mid East oil.

47
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 3: How do you expect other central banks around the world

48
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: to react here?

49
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: It's strange, right, because this all started with us being

50
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: told that twenty percent of oil passes through the Strait

51
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: of Hormuz. So you say, okay, sixty dollars a barrel,

52
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: let's go to seventy two dollars a barrow, maybe a

53
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: little premium in there. You're up at eighty. Not you're

54
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: going right to one hundred and hanging out there and

55
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: expectations I saw one could be two hundred dollars a hour.

56
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a bit extreme. I think by the

57
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: time you get to one twenty to one point fifty,

58
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: you'll create a tremendous amount of demand destruction. So it's

59
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: a bit puzzling that you're there. Unlike the FED, which

60
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: has a dual mandate, they have to watch the labor

61
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: market as well as inflation, the ECB and the Bank

62
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: of England have single mandates. They have to watch inflation

63
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: and there's no differentiation between core and headline. All they

64
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: know right now is headlines going up a lot. Hence

65
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: they're talking hawkish. You would expect the ECB to hike

66
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: rates once or twice in here or watch for the

67
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: Bank of England.

68
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: You have a sterling academics which goes back as far

69
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: as Persian. You're work in Greek and Latin with all

70
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: of your academics at pen and your work of course

71
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: driving the bondship for mister Diamond. The cultural overlay here

72
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: of Persian patients. What I keep reading in informed articles

73
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: is these people are patient. Is that what you would

74
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: would you agree with that Iran will be patient beyond anything?

75
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: Well, if you look at their position, there's little else

76
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: they can do. A lot of the infrastructure in their

77
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: country has been destroyed, and yet somehow they're able to

78
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: control the global supply of oil by controlling the Strait

79
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: of Hormuz with a fleet of drones, despite all the

80
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: military might of the West. And I think this is

81
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: what the market's starting to get concerned about. The administration

82
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: may want an off ramp, but the Iranians don't need

83
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: to give him one.

84
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: That's that simple. Bob Michael, think us so much,
