1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane. Along 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferrell and Lisa Abramowitz. Daily we bring you 3 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations. 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple podcast, SoundCloud, Bloomberg dot Com, 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: and of course on the Bloomberg terminal. We need to 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: get from the data this week on the Job's report 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: on Friday after November two, where a FED will decide 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: Risksman joins us sound Chief Economists at JP Morgan Bruce. 9 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: I usually go global, but I gotta go domestic at 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: today the FED will decide how close are we to 11 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: a FED that will decide what to do over the 12 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: next number of meetings. Well, I think the basic message 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: of the FED is telling us is that they're committed 14 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: to creating a softer labor market, to pushing the unemployment rate, 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: of that the picture on inflation has been concerning enough, 16 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: and that they really want to gain control over credibility here. 17 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: So unless we get a really big downward surprise here, 18 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: I think we're not only on track for a seventy 19 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: five basis point move on November two, but further big 20 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: moves in the next couple of meetings after that. So 21 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: what does your rate get out to? I mean the 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: game here, the power game is three and three quarters 23 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: for even up to five. How does that What does 24 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: that mean for the Bank of England, What does it 25 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: mean for the Bank of Japan? What does it mean 26 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: for the Bank of Indonesia. Well, I think the FED 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: as we would see it goes up to the mid 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: fours and stopping at the mid fours in our forecast 29 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: does require to see a material slowing and job growth 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: over the next few months, which is in our forecast, 31 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: but obviously we haven't seen yet. Um. I think the 32 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: Bank of England story is really going to be dependent 33 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: on how much the government gains credibility. We think they're 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: on track for getting rates up at least a four percent, 35 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: probably more as we go through the next few And 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: as you're noting, there's a number of other central banks 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: in em that have wanted to slow down, maybe even 38 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: stop here. They've been using FX intervention, they've been using 39 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: their rhetoric. But with the FED moving, with the volatility 40 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: we're seeing in markets, uh, it's harder. And we've obviously 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: been backing off of what we thought was some kind 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: of moderation going on in the m central banks. Well, Bruce, 43 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: that really raises the question of what point the dollar 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: becomes the US is problem, not just the rest of 45 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: the world's problem. What's the trigger point for the U 46 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: s starting to respond for the US's sake, not just 47 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: out of some charity for other nations that are really 48 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: struggling in the face of the green back. So I 49 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: think the big issue here is does the FED get 50 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: the kind of controlled moderation in labor markets and growth 51 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: does it see inflation come down? I think on the 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: inflation story, the dollar rises, combining with what we think 53 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: is a fairly significant fading in both commodity and supply 54 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: chain pressures, we think we're set up for a pretty 55 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: decent drop often goods pricing here in the next few months. 56 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: We've already started to see it on energy um and 57 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: I think the economy actually shows resilience here. It looks 58 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: like it's tracking two to three percent growth in the 59 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: current quarter. So I think you have attention that the 60 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: FED will get a benefit here on inflation, I think 61 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: in the next few months, but it may not get 62 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: the job market, It may not get the growth number 63 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: that gives it the comfort to stop, in which case 64 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: the concern is is not so much that I think 65 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: the dollar is itself a drag in the near term, 66 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: but the Fed keeps going in a way that it 67 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: doesn't pay enough attention to the lags, and therefore the 68 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: economy slows much more sharply next year. Let's realize the 69 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: risk here is looking at six twelve months down the road, 70 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: not where we are right now. And this really speaks 71 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: to the column that Paul Kruman wrote at the end 72 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: of last week in the New York Times, where he 73 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: basically said, is the Fed breaking too hard? The risks 74 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: have moved to possibly yes? Do you agree with that view? Well, 75 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: I think before we ask whether the Fed is breaking 76 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: too hard, we want to ask is the Fed intending 77 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: to break things? Because if you listen to Pal, if 78 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: you listen to some other speakers, they seem to be 79 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: preparing us for a significant slowing and in job growth 80 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: and perhaps a meaningful rise in the unemployment rate. So 81 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, there is a risk that they moved 82 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: too hard because they're I think, concerned about seeing results 83 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: and not paying um the kind of attention to the 84 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: lags in the monetary transmission mechanism. But there's also a 85 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: concern that the FED is decided that it's it's much 86 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: more appropriate to risk a recession here than keeping inflation 87 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: unusually high. Person. None of this is in the textbooks. 88 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: It's noted the Krugman textbooks, the man Cue textbooks of 89 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: chasm in textbooks with the survey data. On Friday, I 90 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: have a three month moving average of non farm payrolls 91 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: of two D eighties six thousand. That's job formation. Is 92 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: JP Morgan saying that will break that that will slip 93 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: down to some appallingly three months moving average of say 94 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty thousand. Well, U, we have a 95 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: three forecast for three hundred thousand job games on Friday, 96 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: so clearly that's a pretty strong number, even if it's 97 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: a moderation. I think to get the FED to pause, 98 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: you need job growth to slow to at least a 99 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: hundred thousand UH a month over the next two or 100 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: three months. UH. That I think is a harder one 101 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: to to get confident. And that's that is what's based 102 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: on our forecast. At the FED by the first quarter 103 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: sees that and is ready to pause, and I think 104 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: that's the key issue here, both in terms of getting 105 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: the FED to pause and also the concern that if 106 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: they don't see that and they keep moving, that they 107 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: go further than they actually need to. Bruce, we gotta 108 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: expand on that. That's a stunning number. I have a 109 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: run rate back decades of a hundred and fifty thousand, 110 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: and maybe you come up to two hundred thousand per 111 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: month for non farm payrolls. Is a healthy and normal America. 112 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: You're saying we've got to get down to one hundred thousand, 113 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand than another hundred thousand to make this 114 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: FED blink. Well, yeah, I think if you want to 115 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: have an economy in which the unemployment rate is moving 116 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: in a controlled way to uh roughly four and a 117 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: half percent unemployment rate, which is what I think the 118 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: FED is telling us, you need job growth to be 119 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: a soft A hundred thousand may not even do it, 120 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: but I'd say a hundred thousand is probably the kind 121 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: of number the FED needs to see to be comfortable 122 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: to be thinking about pausing. Bruce. This goes to something 123 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: that you flipped at earlier. Do you think that it's 124 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: inappropriate for the FED reserved to be targeting the unemployment 125 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: rate at a time when the jobs market has drop 126 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: dramatically changed post pandemic. I think it's appropriate for the 127 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: FED to be targeting a softening in the labor market. 128 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: I think it's appropriate for the FED to be paying 129 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: attention to what's happening in the inflation process, wages, salients, 130 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: inflation expectations. But I think it's also appropriate for the 131 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: FED to be forward looking, which is to recognize that 132 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: there's lags in the process, that they're getting a restrictive 133 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: policy in place. And the difficult call is do you 134 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: stop on the tightening before you've gotten everything you want 135 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: to see in the data. That's really the tough call 136 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,119 Speaker 1: that they're going to have to make here. At some point, 137 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: I think somewhere in the range of four or foreign 138 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: a percent seems perfectly reasonable to be pausing, but they 139 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: may not have the labor market outcomes at that time 140 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: that makes them comfortable to do so. Bruce, this is 141 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: the question, isn't it. I think you just framed it perfectly. 142 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: How can you be forward looking if you're chasing the 143 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: lanking and indicator exactly and you're also being uncomfortable by 144 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: the fact that inflation is persistently. I that you're worried 145 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: about salients in terms of the lagged inflation affecting price 146 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: and weight setting. So it's really I think important to 147 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: be forward looking. But it's really hard to be forward 148 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: looking here. Chris Cassman and jakep Mark and Bruce. Wonderful 149 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: to hear from you, sir. Thank you as always. I 150 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: do you think the return assumptions need to shift lower? 151 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: Maybe they're shifting right now. Let's do that right now 152 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: with Kelvisin of RBC Capital Markets. Laurie is it's small 153 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: caps time? Hi? Thanks for having me, Tom, And I 154 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: think it is. If you look at small cap relative 155 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: to large cap. Just pull up the rt Y against 156 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: the SPX on your Bloomberg. We've been in sort of 157 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: a trading range all year on the relative trade, and 158 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: if you look at small caps, we're basically at historic 159 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: valuations on both an absolute and relative valuation. We've already 160 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: priced in a big spike and jobless claims, and typically 161 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: you want to buy small caps when the unemployment rate 162 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: starts to tick up, so you want to keep that 163 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: in mind as we look ahead to Friday. But I 164 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: will just say this, um, small caps have really been 165 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: orphaned for quite some times. They are more domestic, and 166 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: we are hearing a lot of interest UM in small caps, 167 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: even from people who are very barish on the market overall. 168 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: UM So we're overweight and we feel very good about 169 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: that call. In the turmoil we're in, including low g 170 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: d P, will there be transactions and combinations that combines 171 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: small ups into mid caps. It's interesting time. I mean, 172 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: we have been combing the transcripts among the big cap 173 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: companies for commentary about it in and A and we're 174 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: not seeing it pick up yet. So I wouldn't say 175 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: it's necessarily eminent, But I do think that when you're 176 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: in a sluggish growth environment, and I think that's the 177 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: price we have to pay for a short, shallow recession, 178 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: if indeed that's what we end up getting, I do 179 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: think companies will try to go out and buy growth 180 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: UM And you know, we we find that a lot 181 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: of small cap companies are also much better run than 182 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: they were in the past, much cleaner ballot keep, much 183 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: higher quality management teams. UM. So we think the asset 184 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: base is more attractive than it may have been in 185 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: past cycles as well. Floor is overweighting small caps a 186 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: fight to lose less or actually to get returns that 187 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: are bigger than some of the negative returns that we're 188 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: seeing across the board and brought indexes. I think it's 189 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: a great question, Lisa, and I think that depends on 190 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: your time horizon. In the short term, as stock search 191 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: for a bottom. I do think it's unlikely that small 192 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: caps will start going off while everything else is still 193 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: going down. Um, So it may simply just be you 194 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: lose less on the on the way down to kind 195 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: of find that absolute bottom. But at the same time, 196 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: I will tell you, Lisa, when you talk to people 197 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: who have done small cap for a very long time 198 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: and you go back and look at the history, the 199 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: pivots back into small cap tend to be pretty sharp. 200 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: So I do think it's an area where if you 201 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: really kind of wait around and try to pick the 202 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: bottom in the market, you're gonna miss the Turney. You 203 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: do tend to make a lot of that outperformance in 204 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: those early days in the trade. Right now, we're looking 205 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: at eight five and clothes on Friday for the SMP 206 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: five hundred. Your target for your end is forty two hundred. 207 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: What's the trigger? What's the pivot point that gets us 208 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: up there is it just the bear market rally that 209 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: we heard about from a number of analysts. I think 210 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: that's one thing you can look at. I mean, we 211 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: actually found if you look at the SMP five hundred 212 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: this year in two, it's got about a seventy two 213 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: percent correlation with house stocks for trading back in two 214 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: thousand two, which was another period of kind of painful 215 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: normalization after a big market shock, an initial rally. And 216 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: so if you sort of go through that playbook and 217 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: there was a fierce four Q rally and then you 218 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: gave most of it back in the or s quarter, 219 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: that seems like a plausible way for things to turn 220 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: out this time around as well. I think also, Lisa, 221 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: we're about a month out from the midterm elections, and 222 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: go back to the summer, I started really getting an 223 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: earful from a lot of investors about how that would 224 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: be a potentially positive catalyst for markets. So we do 225 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: think that's something on investors radar. And if you look 226 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: at the generic congressional ballot, after you know, several weeks 227 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: of seeing the pulling data kind of shift back in 228 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: democrats favor, we actually saw the Republicans pull ahead of 229 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: Democrats in the congressional generic congressional ballot data last week, 230 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: So things are starting to shift a little bit the 231 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: more market friendly way. In the latest date of their all, 232 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: I just wanted to squeeze this in Nike, FedEx, Apple, 233 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: Tesla missing this morning. What are you learning from corporations 234 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: about how quickly this downtown is coming around? Well, look, 235 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: I think what we are learning, John, is that we 236 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: are starting to see some companies rip off the our 237 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: needs band aid. And if you go back to the summer, 238 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: that is something investors were telling me they really needed 239 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: to see half and to get comfortable with buying markets. 240 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: People said, you know, we want to buy stocks around 241 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: fifteen times PE the market around fifteen sixteen times P. 242 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: But we just need a little bit of certainty on 243 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: that e. We need to see the numbers come down. 244 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: You know, we'll see if the early reporters turn out 245 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: to be a harbinger of what's to come in the 246 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: actual reporting season. Um, but I do think, you know, 247 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: kind of getting those learnings expectations down is something that 248 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: we really need to see. Hi, Luri, thank you all 249 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: some mental whites. Let me kind of saying to that 250 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: of MBC Capital markets. What an interesting day and it 251 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: is about the greater economies of the world. One of 252 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: the great facts is Madrid as the best museum in 253 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: the world. It is called the Prado and it is 254 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: a must visit and that speaks to the healing of 255 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: tourism in Spain. Spain is booming, like Paris, like London. 256 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: It's been a very strong story, but with it too 257 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: and up to ten inflation. Maria today on now with 258 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: the Deputy Prime Minister of Spain, Tom, thank you so much, 259 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: and we are joined of course by Spain's fine as 260 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: Minister and Deputy Prime Minister and Aia Colvino Wan. They 261 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: ask God morning, I have a lot of questions about Europe, 262 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: but first of all I have to get your thoughts 263 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: on what's going on in the UK, because today we've 264 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: seen a huge you term from the UK government. Markets 265 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: really flipping on this country. I don't want to create trouble, 266 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: but when you look at that country, isn't a message 267 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: in terms of what not to do going into the winter. 268 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: Perhaps for you, I think it's very good news that 269 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: they back tracked, in particular when it comes to the 270 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: reduction of the taxes on the wealthiest parts of society, 271 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: because it really shows that it's not only a matter 272 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: of financial stability, it's also a matter of fairness. We're 273 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: all confronted with the challenge how to contain prices, how 274 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,359 Speaker 1: to support our economies, how to fund our public services, 275 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: and we need to ensure that we have fiscal sustainability, 276 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: financial stability, but also a fair distribution of the impact 277 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: of the world, so that means essentially tax the rich 278 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: more to some extent. That's what all international institutions are recommending, 279 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: and this is what the Spanish government has been defend 280 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: think when it comes to the international framework, not not 281 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: specifically or not only this dimensions, but generally we need 282 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: a fair tax system. We need to avoid a race 283 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: to the bottom, which at the end of the day 284 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: is making all of us poorer when we need stronger 285 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: states to also face the blackmail coming from Russia. And 286 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: that's a message perhaps for listra Us. But I don't 287 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: want to create trouble intentionally, perhaps between the e N 288 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: and the UK. So let's talk about Europe. It seems 289 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: to me there's forces that are pulling from different ways. 290 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: You have demand instruction which seems to be working at 291 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: least the message is resonated with Europeans. The storage is up. 292 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: You have an escalation in the war and an escalation 293 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: in the energy war in your view, with the outlook 294 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: for Europe going into the winter, we're challenging at a 295 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: very challenging moment. No, because the war is entering a 296 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: new phase. So it seems we also see that not 297 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: stream supply was cut first of September. The positive element 298 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: here is that prices are not continuing to escalate as 299 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: they did in past months when Putting was using the 300 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: energy blackmail. Also, I think that actually what we see 301 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: now is that the storage level is appropriate, that Europe 302 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: is having a stronger voice when it comes to international 303 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: energy markets, and we should continue in that direction with 304 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: a response which is united determined and also based on 305 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: solidarity between the different member states. When you see solidarity, 306 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: last week Germany came up with the two hundred billion 307 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: your package to save their households and companies. Is that 308 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: solidarity for you? Well, I understand that each country is 309 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: subject to a different kind of challenge now, I mean 310 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: the increase of energy prices hit Spain maybe before other 311 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: countries because of the flexibility of our electricity markets, but 312 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: now we see that inflation is already going down in Spain, 313 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: whereas we see in Germany that the situation is very different. 314 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: They have a higher dependence on Russian gas and oil, 315 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: and so we have to be respectful of the different 316 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: specific the cities of the different countries and ensure that 317 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: our framework and our rules are fit for purpose in 318 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: the sense of allowing for this flexibility in terms of 319 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: the response at the national level, but reinforcing the European 320 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: level instruments so that we ensure fair treatment of all 321 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: citizens and companies throughout the UN were from that messages 322 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: a final question. On Wednesday, the Spanish Prime Minister pro 323 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: Sanchez will meet with the German chancellor. Is he going 324 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: to convince the Germans to drop their opposition to this 325 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: price cap on gas? I hope so we'll definitely Spain well. 326 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: For the last year, Spain has been pushing for a 327 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: European response. We've been pushing for price cups. We've been 328 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: pushing for a joint purchases h an overhaul of the 329 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: European legislation. We managed to have a very exception which 330 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: is allowing us to have a gas price cup between 331 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: Spain and in Spain and Portugal, and this is already 332 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: saving European Spanish citizens and companies more than two point 333 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: five billion euros, you know, and it's proving too allow 334 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: us to have lower prices in other countries. It has 335 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: even the coupled the wholesale gas price from the mediterrane 336 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: of the bery and gas from the t TF reference, 337 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: which shows that we can act and we can change 338 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: things if we act together. So I am sure this 339 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: will be discussed in the summit between Spain and Germany 340 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and I hope we took convince Germany to 341 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: move in this direction. And it's interesting how the diplomatic 342 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: ties are changing between Madrid and Berlin, perhaps growing close 343 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: over the past three weeks, in particular when it comes 344 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: to potential gas suppliers coming in from Spain. But you 345 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: also make it clear that has to go both ways. 346 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: Nada Calvinia, thank you so much for joining us on 347 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: bloomber TV this morning, and we hope to see very soon, 348 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: of course, in a few in a few hours time. Yes, yes, indeed, 349 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: thank you, radiant, thank you so much, and guys back 350 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: to you, Maria, thank you one of the best marit 351 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: today there alongside Nadia Calvin or Spain's Deputy Deputy Prime Minister. 352 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: John Gets from Birmingham. Is Bloomberg's Lizzie Burden out of 353 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: the UK morning, Lizzie, Good morning John. While I'm out 354 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: Conservative Party conference and I'm sat here with Chloe Smith, 355 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. Chloe, thank 356 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: you so much for making time for me. It's a 357 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: wild morning here in Birmingham. This budget that the Chancellor 358 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: had announced was described as reverse robin Hood. At the 359 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: one end, you were cutting the top rate of income 360 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: tax that has now been reversed. But at the other end, 361 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: the Chancellor said he'd cut the benefits of people who 362 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: are not trying hard enough to get a job. Are 363 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: you not going to you turn on that as well 364 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: when it's equally politically toxic. I think the key point 365 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: about the growth package that the Chancellor set out is 366 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: that it is all about getting more people into jobs 367 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: and getting higher wages. And in fact you can see 368 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: that around us as a slogan here at the conference 369 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: is painted on the stairs just over there that we 370 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: want to be able to deliver more jobs and higher wages. Now, 371 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: the majority of the growth package set out was to 372 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: be able to do that, for example, including putting money 373 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,719 Speaker 1: straight back into people's pockets through the adjustment to the 374 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: lower rate of income tax and of course that builds 375 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: on the cost of living package and the energy price guarantee. 376 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: Now my role is then to be able to help 377 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: people into those jobs that growth package will create, and 378 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: that to me is a real priority. So to pay 379 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: for all your tax cuts, to have any credibility and markets, 380 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: you're going to have to cut spending. The one thing 381 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: that the Prime Minister promised yesterday was that she was 382 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: going to raise pensions in line with inflation. We're on 383 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: a cost of living crisis. Has the Chancellor asked you 384 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: to your cut cutting benefits? The Prime Minister was right 385 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: to talk about the triple or on pensions. That's been 386 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: a commitment of ours for a while, and that's been 387 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: a clear public commitment already. Now, naturally there is then 388 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: also the decision to be taken about benefits operating. This 389 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: is one for me to take in my role. I 390 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: can't tell you here and now what that will be 391 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: and what the data that goes inside it will be, 392 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: because I have to wait for that data to come 393 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: to me. Now, the key principle though, that I want 394 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: to take in approaching that decision is how we can 395 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: best protect the most vulnerable in our society. And for me, 396 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: this builds on those elements of the cost of living 397 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: support that we have already been doing and delivering. My 398 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: department has been making payments to people and they'll be 399 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: more coming out very shortly that are supporting people at 400 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: that time with real needs. Why is it fair to 401 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: guarantee pensions not benefits in a cost of living crisis? 402 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: People need to plan now. And one of the other 403 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: principles that I really want to look at here is 404 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: how we protect those who can't perhaps work to raise 405 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: their own earnings. So for example, that would usually include pensioners, 406 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: and it may well include others as well. These are 407 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: the principles that I'm thinking about very carefully as part 408 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: of that decision. But let me also say this, as 409 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: a party, we are about helping more people into work. 410 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: We shouldn't be writing people often saying that they can't work. 411 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: We should have been instead be looking at what people 412 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: can do rather than what they cannot do. So that's 413 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: what the Growth Package is all about, and that's the 414 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: golden thread that you see going through the other rest 415 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: of the work of my department, helping people into work 416 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: and ensuring that there is an incentive to work. Okay, 417 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: so you mentioned pensions. Last week, the Bank of England 418 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: had to step in to bail out the pensions industry 419 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: from a systemic crash that was triggered by your government. 420 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Are you having emergency meetings with the pensions regulator and 421 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: asset managers and if so, what proposals are being discussed. Well, 422 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: colleagues are having the right meetings of course, with the 423 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: Pensions Regulated, with the Treasury and across my department as well. 424 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: I can't give you further details them that, but I'm 425 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: glad that the Bank of England was able to take 426 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: the action that they did last week, and naturally we 427 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: are keeping a very close eye on this situation because 428 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: we want there to be a thriving pension industry in 429 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: this country. That is an essential part of supporting people 430 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: in their retirement. Clarie Smith, Secretary of State for the 431 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: Department of Work and Pensions, thank you very much for 432 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: joining me. John. The question remains, then, what happens when 433 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: the Bank of England's rescue package ends on October the fourteenth, 434 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: unclear if we're going to have the same issues for 435 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: l d Eyes. Hey, Lizzie, thank you. Looking forward to 436 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: catching up with you through the next camp of days, 437 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: Lizzie Burton there at the United Kingdom. Let's learn something 438 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: from dance setting, Dan, fantastic year, notorious, the Barrish through 439 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: much of two it's worked out almost perfectly. We're all 440 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: wandering now for you. What are the preconditions that you 441 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: want to see the checkbox check check check check check 442 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: to add equity exposure. Sure, and good morning. By the way, 443 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: it's great to be in studio altogether, having the band 444 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: here back together. It's been two years, Dan, it's been 445 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: too long. I'll inch my chairs to your question. You know, look, 446 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: we've done a lot of damage obviously in the third 447 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: quarter in last month, but notably we're still trading around 448 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: the June lows. But notably all of that work has 449 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: been rates. Right, we haven't seen the earnings reflected yet, 450 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: and so talking about FED speak, I think investors want 451 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: to hear management speak really at this point and really 452 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: kind of throw in more of a towel. So number 453 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: one is earnings. Number two is p M I s. 454 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: We haven't seen in that contraction yet UH. And number 455 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: three is jobs, and we have a big update coming 456 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: this week, but we just haven't seen that rise in 457 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: the unemployment just yet. I've been waiting, waiting, waiting for 458 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: a research note like you've got, which is real simple. 459 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: Look at dividend growers. How did dividend growth change? How 460 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: does dividend growth change given dampened economy, dampened revenue growth 461 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: and then down the income statement, How does that filter 462 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: into the dividend growth decision? Well, when you look at 463 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: companies M and A and and deals have been really 464 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: dried up this year, So I think you look at 465 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: companies being more defensive. BIBAS has obviously been a huge 466 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: use of capital this year, and dividends continues to be 467 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: a huge use of capital. And and UH investors are 468 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: rewarding dividend growth wildly this year. How many basis points 469 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: pick up do you have there with dividend growth versus 470 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: the riff raff that's out there. I mean, when you 471 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: look at kind of income styles, dividend growth styles, they're 472 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: down kind of mid single digit, high single digit this 473 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: year versus the SMP down plus. So Dan said something 474 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: earlier at the start of the show that our bonds 475 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: going to and John asked him, our bond is going 476 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: to react the way that they normally do in a 477 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: downturn where they gain value. People pile in. Tom was 478 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: saying he doesn't think so. A lot of people agree 479 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: with him, do you. Inflation is still stubbornly high, and 480 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: so if we have kind of a plateau ng or 481 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: a moderation inflation, I think bonds could certainly act better. 482 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: But at least it's your point. That was the case 483 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: earlier this year. The first four and a half months 484 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,959 Speaker 1: of this year was all about stag inflation, and so 485 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: you saw both stocks and bonds down together. It got 486 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: a little bit better over the summer. Then, as you've 487 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: seen again, bonds have sold off quite rapidly. So I 488 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: think around the four percent level on the tenure, there 489 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: is more value in bonds here to do their job 490 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: in an in evolvable environment. Wilson, your colleague a good friend. 491 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: In the last couple of weeks, I'm austin whether you 492 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: guys start to get uncomfortable when everyone starts to share 493 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: your few, when you start to see some of the 494 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 1: big bulls on Wolf Street capitulate and Marko Kanovich came 495 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: about that close on Friday. Do you feel uncomfortable when 496 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: everyone starts getting comfortable with your way of thinking? You do, 497 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: but your thesis is still in check. Right, So when 498 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: you think about the call Mike made, and we joked 499 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,239 Speaker 1: a few months ago about that lonely Island in every 500 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: one's on board, it's a flow, you know what. To 501 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: your point, Jonathan, you look at the cell side, you 502 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: look at the byside, mutual fun cash levels, hedge, fun 503 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: net exposures, and we have a particular vantage because Morgan 504 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: Stanley is the biggest prime broker out there. So everyone 505 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: is inching.
