1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news single best idea out

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, and trust me, not six minutes, not

3
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: five minutes. This could be a thirty minute single best idea.

4
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to flick that on you in August,

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: but a set of incredible conversations today. Front center was

6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: our conversation on this merger of Kellogg's snack food division

7
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: into the private company Mars. They make Mars bars and Snickers,

8
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: I guess, and things like that. But we covered that

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: very carefully and I think maybe that's a precursor of

10
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: things to come. I'm really fascinated by to the end

11
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: of the year what we see in terms of m

12
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: and A really at all capitalization levels. First, on inflation,

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: interesting report double earl it PPI before CPI. Thank you

14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: to Bob Sinchump in Connecticut for the observation that what

15
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: was key here is PPI was out front of CPI.

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: So maybe we didn't get the glory today, we got

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: it yesterday. But there's a tinge of disinflation certainly within

18
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: those two reports. Retail sales tomorrow on CPI want to

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: watch some very interesting observations out on lagging shelter inflation.

20
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Neil Dotta of Renmac on the mortgage rate.

21
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I certainly think that mortgage rates need

22
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: to follow a lot more from here in order to

23
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: juice the housing market, which means that the Fed has

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of work to do. You know, it's interesting,

25
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: you're if you look at mortgage rates, I mean, they're

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: basically running at the lowest level since I think last spring.

27
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: But you haven't really seen home sales or purchased demand

28
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: run at the best level since last spring. So why

29
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: would that be? And that's because I think inflation has

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: slowed more rapidly. So six and a half percent on

31
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: to your fixed looks a lot better when inflation's four

32
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: and a half percent then when it's two and so

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: just a reminder that real rights are still quite elevated.

34
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Neil Dunna of Renmac there on inflation and again retail

35
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: sales tomorrow. Retail sales is quoted before you take out inflation.

36
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: What's called nominally and is Mike McKee does he take

37
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: it out and adjust for inflation. He's sort of kind

38
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: of like, but retail sales will be important tomorrow as

39
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: we slide into an August. We can on the e

40
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: CEO GO terminal screen. There are twenty lines of economic

41
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: data tomorrow that gives you an idea of the import

42
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: of it. I could do a one hour discussion, a

43
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: monologue and bore you all to death over our conversation

44
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: today with Stephen Rashudo of Miszuo Stevershudo is one of

45
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: the most Prussian people in the game. He was absolutely

46
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: spellbinding on the death of the study of knesy and economics,

47
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: the Hicksian John Hicks ISLM model. Not going to go

48
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: into the details on it, but basically, the LM curve

49
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: of the X is the financial markets, and the IS

50
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: curve of the X is the real economy markets, and

51
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: we spend a lot of time talking about the real economy.

52
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: The summation of it is, he looks for an imputed

53
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: larger inflation in America. Is the IS curve shift to

54
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: the right. Don't keep score at home on us, don't

55
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: draw any maps in your car. But the answer is

56
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: he looks for a nudge to a more persistent inflation

57
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: in America. Pushing against that is a global disinflation. Where

58
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: does it meet. It meets in the currency market. Stephen

59
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: Rashudo of miszuo. The importance of the dollar.

60
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: Watch the currency. The currency is critical here because it's

61
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: a debate. It's a battle in the US be between

62
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: domestic cyclical forces and global deflationary forces. And those global

63
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: deflationary forces are real, they're palpable. I understand them. You

64
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: don't have to go much beyond the just looking at

65
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: the latest numbers news coming out of out of China

66
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: and have to look at what's happening in terms of

67
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: Europe and other parts around the world. Global deflation is real,

68
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: but so is domestic cyclical inflation, and the currency has

69
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 3: been the factor. D x Y, your Bloomberg measure on

70
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: the currency, went from parody one hundred to one sixteen.

71
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: We're now coming back. We're at one o two. I

72
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: don't know what it is right now, but we broke

73
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: through the one oh three level. We're heading towards one

74
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: o two. Early day you get back to parody, and

75
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 3: guess what the dollars no longer allowing global disinflation to

76
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: be imported into the US economy.

77
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: Steven Rashudo of MISSOUI there are d x Y quoted

78
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: it one oh two. Issu ishu means, you know, take

79
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: the decimal points into account and it has come down

80
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: from one O four one o three, one oh two.

81
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: The Bloomberg Dollar Index, which I call bb d x

82
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: y Bloomberg get it. Bb DXY is twelve forty something

83
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: and that's actually mathematically a much more interesting index. It

84
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: it takes into account em and China and the rest.

85
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: Were DXY is only the major traditional European trading partners

86
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: with Japanese yen. As well as that that was too

87
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: much for an August you know, that was just way

88
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: too much. We need to exit. Let's exit with this

89
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: android auto Apple car play. Thank you for the note

90
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: out on Apple car Play today. I didn't know that

91
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: when our guests come up, they come up on Apple CarPlay,

92
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: which is very cool on YouTube. Thank you so much.

93
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: Subscribe to Bloomberg Podcasts. I can't say enough about the

94
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: growth of that, particularly internationally and on Apple podcasts. This

95
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: is single best idea.
