Sixty percent of global 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: j DP relies on US toll liquidity to bottom have 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: basically seen their income stagnate over a third of a century. 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: The Asian economies there are the fastest growing ones in 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: the world, China's Both may be slowing down, but we're 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: still talking about China growing at six and a half 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: seven percent.

Good morning, It is 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: seven am on Wall Street. It is five am in 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: Fort McMurray, Canada, where we wish the firefighters battling that 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: huge blaze up there. The best oil higher this morning, 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: in part on concerns of interruptions to the supply from Canada. 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: West Texas sixty two is up two point two percent, 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: Brent nine up one point six percent this morning, but 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: actually pretty much everything is higher this morning. By the way, 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm Michael McGee along with Tom Keen Unsurveillance today and 19 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: we're watching a global rally overnight. Asia up and now 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: Europe the stock six hundred four points higher one point 21 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: two percent, the docks in Germany up one eighty points. 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: That's one point eight percent in London, a thirty point 23 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: game for the Footsie half a percent of the day 24 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: bonds little changed to higher, the curve stepens. The two 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: year no yield is at seventy three basis points, five 26 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: year one point to two, and the ten year one 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: point seven seven. On the day, the dollars stronger. Here's 28 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: the real debate point. The dollar following comments and the 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: jobs report following comments from the Fed moving higher today 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: ninety three point nine for the d X y index, 31 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: The yen weekends to one oh oh four, the year 32 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: O one thirteen eight, and the pound one four fifty one. 33 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: So that's uh the question whether interest rates in the 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: United States and whether the dollar and bond market. We 35 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 1: have seen Fed officials the latest Bill Dudley this morning 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: time in the New York Times saying we're still on 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: track for June if the numbers continue the way they are, 38 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: But that's not the way the bond market season. John 39 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: Riding is the chief economist and founder of r t 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: Q Economics. John, there's an old saying, don't fight the FED. 41 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: And it seems that people on bond trading desks have 42 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: decided they want to get into a scrap with the 43 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: U S. Central Bank. Well, the problem is the FED 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: is completely messed up its communications policy and UH. It 45 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: told us it had objectives for unemployment inflation. UH, and 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: then as we go close to those, it lowered the 47 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: unemployment rate, so that the market simply doesn't believe the FED. 48 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: And I think that to believe the Fed, John at 49 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: YELLTT has to come out and deliver a similar message. 50 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: And as I said to Tom on TV a few minutes, 51 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: you say to me right now to um, what we 52 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: have here is typically the central Uh. The chairman of 53 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: the FET goes in May and gives a testimony, so 54 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: she can be perfectly tied up to say not that 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: we're going in June, but that we are still committed 56 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: to renormalizing monetary policy, and the data points are close 57 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: and if we continue in that direction, we will go. 58 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: Because the FED in the past halt about cumulative improvement, 59 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: and cumulative improvement as the actual progress won't quote upon exactly, 60 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: not just the latest day to point cumulative improvement from 61 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: a temper cent an employment rate to a five percent 62 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: unemployment rate. John Writing with the rd Q Economics. We 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: say good morning to all of your worldwide Bloomberg Radio 64 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: Plus and of course across Bloomberg dot com Bloomberg Surveillance. 65 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: This morning brought you by Investco. Factor based strategies can 66 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: help investors focus on high quality, low volatility and more. 67 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: Learn more at investco dot com Slash High Conviction Genre 68 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: writing giving as great perspective this morning, John, As I 69 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, your note had a certain heat on Friday. 70 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: Let's frame the two avenues out of the jobs report. 71 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: One is it was a molding number. We all agree 72 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: on this with the molding revision. And then there's the yeah, 73 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: but the underlying data was actually pretty good. Explained to 74 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: us why hours worked in wages can trump? That was 75 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: upon their thinking. Did you like that? That was a 76 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: very Did you see how we did that? Can trump? 77 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: Get it? Can trump the countables of non farm payrolls? 78 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: Can we start off with the non fund payroll number? 79 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: Because our number for private perils was a hundred and 80 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand, We got a hundred and seventy one thousand. 81 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: Why because we had such a mild winter that the 82 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: pick up in jobs that normally take place because people 83 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: couldn't work because the weather is so bad in February 84 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: and March, the seasonal sniff, they were already working, and 85 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: so we had a hundred and sixty thousand three month 86 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: averages around two hundred thousand. I think that the the 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: FED four cash revision calls by economists on Friday at 88 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: some major banks, we're like looking for an excuse to 89 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: come to the market, and I think it ridiculously over 90 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: emphasizes the latest data point. But the FED in the 91 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: last statement talked about consumer fundamentals as well. So you've 92 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: got an increase in hours worked because we had a 93 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: longer work week of four tenths of a percent. We 94 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: had a three tenths of p percent increase in wages. 95 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: That's a seven tenths of p percent increases running somewhere 96 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: between eight or around eight percent at an annualized rate 97 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: if we were to continue that in wage income, which 98 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: is the bulk of what people have to spend. So 99 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: if you're a Kanzian and you're worried about demanding, you're 100 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: worried about the consumer, you have this big income increase. 101 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: John Wrinning with this with his work at the Bank 102 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: of England, at the Federal Reserve System, of course, with 103 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: Bear Stearns for years, and now at rd Q Economics. John, 104 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: I'm gonna massively rip up the script here. Greg Villier 105 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: has given us great perspective on our economic politics. Villiers 106 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: and writing stunning political notes about Secretary Clinton and particularly 107 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: Mr Trump. Here's Valier this morning on debt restructuring and 108 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Quote he's playing with matches in a very 109 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: arid forest. The US and much of the world is 110 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: crushed by individual and government debt. So here comes someone 111 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: with catnip. Let's restructure the debt. Is it even feasible 112 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: within the economics and the chapters in our economic textbook 113 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: on debt restructuring that you can restructure quote unquote full 114 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: faith and credit debt like you'd restructure a hotel in 115 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: Atlantic City. No, you can't. But what you can do 116 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: is lengthen the maturity of the debt at these very 117 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: low interest rates, and that has been a policy at 118 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: the Tragedy Department has been doing and could, in my opinion, 119 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: pursue fall more aggressively. The treasure debts not callable. It's 120 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: full faith in credit. You can't tear up someone's old 121 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: note and replace it with a new low interest rate. 122 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: Now that that's just simply not feasible. It doesn't matter 123 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: what he thinks. It's not legally feasible. But you can 124 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: lengthen the maturity of the debt. Now, one of the 125 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: interest things is if you look talked to an academic 126 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: on the FED, good friend from Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon, and 127 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: and he will say he will put together, um mon, 128 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: good friends have put together the Central Bank and the 129 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: Treasury Marvin good friend here, yes, and then you can 130 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: then you can look at monetary policy in fiscal policy 131 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: and combine it. And so what was the Fed doing 132 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: It was short in the duration of the debt by 133 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: operation twist, as the treasure was trying to lengthen the 134 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: maturity of debt, and those two policies cancel each other out. 135 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: So yes, I would lengthen the maturity of the debt 136 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: because I certainly as an investor, would not want to 137 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: invest for ten years at one point. Peter Fisher Blackstone 138 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: is really good at this, and of course I call 139 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: him the tripod guy. He's served government, he served Wall Street, 140 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: and he's got terrific academic bearing as well. He's a 141 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: bit cautious about Europe. Europe, if you will, the europeanization 142 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: of our death structure France, as I believe a fifty 143 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: year piece. We don't do that in America because we're better. 144 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: What's the price of going from a blended debt to 145 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: pick a number seven years out to a blended debt 146 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: of ten years or fifteen years. Well, I think at 147 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: these low interest rates for the government, there's there's very 148 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: little price except ten years down the road when you 149 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: if you had a huge amount of debt to be 150 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: refunded at that particular point in time, and we're in 151 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: a very different interest rates environment, and and that's the 152 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: the price will come at a future point where we 153 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: won't know where, we won't know what it is. And 154 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: the whole idea about issuing along the curve is not 155 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: so much about minimizing interest rate costs, but is not 156 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: having any great big refunding coming up. And then let's 157 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: takes us back to the full faith and credit ten 158 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: year yield. Do you perceive institutions that could give us 159 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: a glide path to higher yields or by definition, do 160 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: we have to have a jump condition when the shotgun 161 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: aw comes that we're actually gonna have normal interest rates. UM. 162 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: I think we could have a glide path, but markets 163 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: never tend to wear it that way. But what would 164 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: help is if the FED began to unwind its portfolio, 165 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: at least stop reinvesting and start allowing it to shift 166 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: the assets back into the private sector in a gradual manner. 167 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: But the FEDS seems intent to hold onto its UH 168 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: portfolio until maturity, and maybe that helps with the glide path, 169 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: but it keeps the market from adjusting. John writing with 170 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: this with our d Q economics, and we will continue this. 171 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: There are headlines out of Lending Club. They have been 172 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: in the news and it's been challenging news, to say 173 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: the least. The Lending Club chairman and chief executive Officer, 174 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: Renold Laplanche resigns. Hans Morris is named chairman, but very 175 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: importantly Scott Sandborn will serve as acting CEO. They will 176 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: not provide guidance at this time. That's probably the key headline. 177 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: Things are so messed up. They got to sort out 178 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: what's going on in their lending club. The violation of 179 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: practices and a lack of disclosure is unacceptable. Lending Club 180 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: of previous seven dollars ten cents is giving me an 181 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: indication self will try to firm up that bid. An 182 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: ask on lending Club as well. Again, the present chairman 183 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: and CEO of Lending Club resigns.

The best oil higher 221 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: this morning, in part on concerns of interruptions to the 222 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 1: supply from Canada. West Texas two is up two point two. 223 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: Brent nine up one point six percent this morning. But 224 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: actually pretty much everything is higher this morning. By the way, 225 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm Michael McGee along with Tom Keene Unsurveillance today and 226 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: we're watching a global rally overnight. Asia up and now 227 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: you're up. The stock six d four points higher one 228 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: point two percent, the docks in Germany up one eight points. 229 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: That's one point eight percent in London, a thirty point 230 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: game for the footsie half a percent of the day. 231 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: Bonds little changed to hire.

On the day, the dollars stronger. Here's 235 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: the real debate point the dollar following comments, and the 236 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: job report falling comments from the Fed moving higher today 237 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: nine for the d X y index, the yen weekends 238 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: to one oh oh four, the year one eight, and 239 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: the pound one four fifty one. So that's the question 240 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: whether interest rates in the United States and whether the 241 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: dollar and bond market. We have seen FED officials the latest, 242 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: Bill Dudley this morning time in the New York Times 243 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: saying we're still on track for June if the numbers 244 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: continue the way they are. But that's not the way 245 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: the bond market sees it. John Riding is the chief 246 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: economist and founder of r t Q Economics. John, there's 247 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: an old saying, don't fight the Fed, and it seems 248 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: that people on bond trading desks have decided they want 249 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: to get into a scrap with the U s. Central Bank. Well, 250 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: the problem is the fattest completely messed up its communications 251 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: policy and uh. It told us it had objectives for 252 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: our unemployment inflation uh, and then as we got close 253 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: to those, it lowered the unemployment rate. So that the 254 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: market simply doesn't believe the Fed. And I think that 255 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: to believe the Fed, Janet Yellen has to come out 256 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: and deliver a similar message, And as I said to 257 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: Tom on TV a few minutes, you say to me 258 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: right now to um what we have here is typically 259 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: that the central uh, the Chairman of the FED, goes 260 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: in May and gives a testimony. So she can be 261 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: perfectly tied up to say not that we're going in June, 262 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: but that we are still committed to renormalizing monetary policy, 263 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: and the data points are close, and if we continue 264 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: in that direction, we will go. Because the Fed in 265 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: the past talked about cumulative improvement, and cumulative improvement has 266 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: actual progress. One quote, if I'm exactly not just the 267 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: latest data point, CU want of improvement from a ten 268 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: percent unemployment rate to a five percent unemployment rate. John 269 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: writing with the rd Q Economics, we say good morning 270 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: to all of your worldwide Bloomberg Radio Plus and of 271 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: course across Bloomberg dot com Bloomberg Surveillance.

Giving his great 275 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: perspective this morning, John, as I mentioned earlier, your note 276 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: had a certain heat on Friday. Let's frame the two 277 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: avenues out of the jobs report. One is it was 278 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: a molding number. We all agree on this with a 279 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: molding revision. And then there's the yeah, but the underlying 280 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: data was actually pretty good. Explained to us why hours 281 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: worked in wages can trump? That was a pun there, thanking? 282 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: Did you like that? That was a very Did you 283 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: see how we did that? Can trump get it? Can 284 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: trump the accountables of non farm payrolls. Can we start 285 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: for the non fund payroll number? Because our number for 286 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: private paerallels was a hundred and seventy five thousand, we 287 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: got a hundred and seventy one thousand. Why because we 288 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: had such a mild winter that the pickup in jobs 289 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: that normally take place because people couldn't work because the 290 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: weather is so bad in February and March the season, 291 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: they were already working, and so we had a hundred 292 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: and sixty thousand three month averages around two hundred thousand. 293 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: I think that the the FED forecast revision calls by 294 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: economists on Friday at some major banks were like looking 295 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: for an excuse to come to the market, and I 296 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: think it ridiculously over emphasizes the latest data point. But 297 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: the threat in the last statement talks about consumer fundamentals 298 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: as well. So you've got an increase in hours worked 299 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: because we had a longer work weed of four tenths 300 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: of per percent, we had a three tenths of per 301 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: percent increase in wages. That's the seven tenths of per 302 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: percent increases running somewhere between eight or around eight percent 303 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: at an annualized rate if we were to continue that 304 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: in wage income, which is the bulk of what people 305 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: have to spend. So if you're a Kanzian and you're 306 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: worried about demand and you're worried about the consumer, you 307 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: have this big income incre John writing with this with 308 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: his work at the Bank of England, at the Federal 309 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 1: Reserve System, of course with Bear Stearns for years, and 310 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: now at our DQ economics, John, I'm gonna massively rip 311 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: up the script here. Greg Valier has given us great 312 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: perspective on our economic politics. Valier has been writing stunning 313 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: political notes about Secretary Clinton and particularly Mr Trump. Here's 314 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 1: Valier this morning on debt restructuring and Donald Trump quote. 315 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: He's playing with matches in a very arid forest. The 316 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: US and much of the world is crushed by individual 317 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: and government debt. So here comes someone with catnip. Let's 318 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: restructure the debt? Is it even feasible? Within the economics 319 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: and the chapters in our economic textbook on debt restructuring 320 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: that you can restructure quote unquote full faith and credit 321 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: debt like you'd restructure a hotel in Atlantic City. No, 322 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: you are. But what you can do is lengthen the 323 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: maturity of the debt at these very low interest rates. 324 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: And that has been a policy that the Treasury Department 325 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: has been doing and could, in my opinion, pursue far 326 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: more aggressively. The treasure debts not callable. It's full faith 327 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: in credit. You can't tear up someone's old note and 328 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: replace it with a new low interest rate. Now that 329 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: that's just simply not feasible. It doesn't matter what he thinks. 330 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: It's not legally feasible. But you can lengthen the maturity 331 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: of the debt. Now, one of the interesting things is 332 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: if you look talk to an academic on the FED 333 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: good Friend from Pittsburgh Carnegie Mellon and and he will 334 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: say he'll put together um more good friends have put 335 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: together the Central Bank and the Treasury about Marvin good Friend, Yes, 336 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: and then you can then you can look at monetary 337 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: policy in fiscal policy and combine it. And so what 338 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: was the Fed doing It was shortening the duration the 339 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: debt by operation twist, as the treasure was trying to 340 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: lengthen the maturity debt, and those two policies cancel each 341 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: other out. So yes, I would lengthen the maturity of 342 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: the debt because I certainly as an investor, would not 343 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: want to invest for ten years at one point. Peter 344 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: Fisher Blackstone is is really good at this, and of 345 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: course I call him the tripod guy. He's served government, 346 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: he served Wall Street, and he's got terrific academic bearing 347 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: as well. He's a bit cautious about Europe. Europe, if 348 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: you will, the europeanization of our debt structure France, as 349 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: I believe a fifty year piece. We don't do that 350 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: in America because we're better. What's the price of going 351 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: from a blended debt to pick a number seven years 352 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: out to a blended debt of ten years or fifteen years. Well, 353 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,959 Speaker 1: I think at these low interest rates for the government, 354 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: there's there's very little price except ten years down the 355 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: road when you if you had a huge amount of 356 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: debt to be refunded at that particular point in time. 357 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: We're in a very different interest rate environment and and 358 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: that's the problem. But the price will come at a 359 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: future point where we won't know where, we won't know 360 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: what it is. And the whole idea about issuing along 361 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: the curve is not so much about minimizing interest rate costs, 362 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,239 Speaker 1: but is not having any great, big refunding coming up. 363 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: And then let's take this back to the full faith 364 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: and credit tenure yield. Do you perceive institutions that could 365 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: give us a glide path to higher yields or by definition, 366 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: do we have to have a jump condition when the 367 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: shot gun aw comes that we're actually gonna have normal 368 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: interest rates. Um, I think we could have a glide path, 369 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: but markets never tend to work that way. But what 370 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: would help is if the FED began to unwind its portfolio, 371 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: but at least stop reinvesting and start allowing it to 372 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: shift the assets back into the private sector in a 373 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: gradual manner. But the FEDS seems intent to hold onto 374 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: its at portfolio until maturity. And maybe that helps with 375 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: the bly path, but it keeps they market from adjusting. 376 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: John Riding with us with our d Q economics and 377 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: we will continue this. There are headlines out of Lending Club. 378 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: They have been in the news and it's been challenging 379 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: news to say the least. The Lending Club chairman and 380 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: Chief executive Officer Renold Laplanche resigns. Hans Morris is named chairman, 381 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: but very importantly Scott Sandborn will serve as acting CEO. 382 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: They will not provide guidance at this time. That's probably 383 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: the key headline. Things are so messed up. They got 384 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: to sort out what's going on in their lending club. 385 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: The violation of practices and a lack of disclosure is unacceptable. 386 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: Lending Club a previous seven dollars ten cents is giving 387 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: me an indication self. We'll try to firm up that 388 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: bid an ask on Lending Club as well. Again, the 389 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: present chairman and CEO of Lending Club resigns.
