That's a problem for 33 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: Bill Dudley its themes. He notes that more than half 34 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: u s currency in circulation is held a Broughty me 35 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: of speech in Europe today countries have built huge forex 36 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: reserves in dollars, which means they buy US bonds. Tenure 37 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: note yield today one point seven six percent five year 38 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: one seventy two basis points for your two year UH. 39 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: Dudley's concern is that the value of the dollar and 40 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: bonds are affected by a lot more than US fundamentals. 41 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Rosenberg is chief fixed income strategist at black Rock. 42 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: Jeff looking at what Bill Dudley had to say today, 43 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: can we say that bond prices and bond yields accurately 44 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: reflect the US economy? And is that a problem if 45 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: they are being pushed around by investors overseas. You know, 46 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: it's an interesting perspective because I think it flips on 47 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: its head the fundamental issue of debt and and the 48 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: value of the dollar. Because the fundamental issue that I 49 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: think explains why the financial markets are so concerned about 50 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: about the dollar is is that we have to appreciate 51 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: that the world's reserve currency is the dollar, so, whether 52 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: we like it or not, that the FED is not 53 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: just able to manage monetary policy with respect to the 54 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: domestic economy, they also have to consider the impacts for 55 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. And one of the main 56 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: impacts for the rest of the world is that most 57 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: of the rest of the world's dollar about seventy of 58 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the world's indebtedness is denominated in dollars. So what the 59 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: value of the dollar is for the rest of the 60 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: world matters. And here's the really key point, like is 61 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: that when the dollar goes up for us in the US, 62 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: that has some impact, has some impact on inflation, on earnings, 63 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: but the main impact is felt by the rest of 64 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: the world because when the dollar goes up, the rest 65 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: of the world's indebtedness effectively goes up. That means it's 66 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: that much harder to pay back their debt. Well, so 67 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: where do you see the dollar going. Is it going 68 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: to continue to trade higher as we talk about a 69 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: FED rate increase in is that going to rebound against 70 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: the global economy? Now I see the dollar more sideways here. 71 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: You know, we had the big theme over the last 72 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: two years of policy divergence the expectation, meaning that the 73 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: expectation that the FED was going to raise rates while 74 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: the rest of the world wasn't. Higher interest rates in 75 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: the US raises the attractiveness of holding fixed income in 76 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: the US. That raises the value of the dollar. And 77 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: you saw in anticipation of this long awaited policy divergence, 78 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: which finally showed up at the end of last year 79 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: in the form of the FED raising interest rates by 80 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: twenty five basis points when everybody else was doing the opposite. 81 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: You saw markets anticipate that with nearly a twenty increase 82 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: in the value of the dollars. So much of that 83 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: shift in relative monetary policy across the world is already 84 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: impacted in the dollar. I think the big moves going 85 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: forward there's not going to be uh that repeat in 86 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: terms of that kind of big move and and and 87 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: what we've seen in the last six weeks, so except 88 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: the exception of the last six days or so, the 89 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: dollar has been weakening. And it's been weakening because you 90 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: pulled back on the expectations for how fast the FED 91 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: is going to raise rates and positioning and markets was 92 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: way too overexposed to the expectation that the that the dollar. 93 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: What kind of the bottom line question where this gets 94 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: to is how much ConTroll does the FED have over 95 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: where the yield curve in the United States is going 96 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 1: to be? Well, you know, the FED has pretty good 97 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: control over the yield curve in the US in the 98 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: front end, right, So when we talk about monetary policy, 99 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: when we talk about traditional monetary policy, that's setting the 100 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: front end very short term interest rates. What unconventional monetary 101 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: policy has been about is about influencing. Some people might 102 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: say controlling or dictating the longer end of the yield curve, 103 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: and unconventional monetary policy allows the FED the scope to 104 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: do that. You know, there's a bit of policy debate 105 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: about what should the next FED policy be in One 106 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: of those policy choices is setting interest rates, fixing interest rates. 107 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: But now we're talking about fixing interest rates on the 108 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: long end of the yield curve, and the FED can 109 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: do that. They've done that in the past. I got 110 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: a twist star, I want to get through the minute, 111 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Rosenberg with this with black Rock futures were up 112 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: more earlier, up six right now again the fixed trading 113 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: fourteen point to three.

Is something we've talked a lot to Peter 118 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: Fisher about over the years, and Mr Trump has talked 119 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: about this a little bit and others extending the duration 120 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: of our debt. You mentioned that the FED controls the 121 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: yield curve. I get all that and you know, that's great. 122 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: But if we wander back to a tenure benchmark being 123 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: a twelve year benchmark, I mean if extenderation of debt, 124 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: what does that do? So it's interesting, it's a loaded question. 125 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: So it's just a couple of things. The FED. What 126 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: I want to say is the Fed can control the 127 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: yield curve. The markets obviously have a huge impact in that, 128 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: and then the global influences on the yield curve also impact. 129 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: The FED hasn't deployed its full arsenal of control if 130 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: it wanted to, UH, it could certainly do that out 131 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: the yield curve. Some debate about whether or not how 132 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: effective that might be. But to the impact on the 133 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: issuing side, what does treasury do in terms of financing? 134 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: That's a trade off between today's interest expense and tomorrow's 135 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: interest expense. And every individual household faces this decision when 136 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: you think about do I have a fixed rate mortgage 137 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: or do I have an adjustable rate mortgage. Adjust worry 138 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: of mortgage benefit is lower interest expense today because I 139 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: have lower UF I have a floating rate and that 140 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: floats off of the shorter maturity. I'm gonna cash the 141 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: coupon Mike, I've got this bond sitting at home. The 142 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: French May of two thousand sixties six may have two 143 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: thousand and sixty six. The yield is one of three 144 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: quarters per cent. You expect to be around till sixty. Yes, 145 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: price to the discount to yield one point eight zero 146 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: percent for fifty years five. Oh, Mike, we got to 147 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: do that two thousand sixty six. There's a there's a 148 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: lot of talk about the Treasury should be turning out 149 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: its holdings, but they've been doing that, and of course 150 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: the Fed's been buying them all up. Uh. Is there 151 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: any call for more issuance at the very long end 152 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: thirty years or even beyond for the US because you've 153 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: got the French doing these forty year things. Sure, and 154 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: the Treasury, the Treasury management of the debt stock is 155 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: they don't want to dramatically change the issuance patterns. There's 156 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: been a slow x extension of the average maturity. But 157 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: there's a tradeoff that I was mentioning before, which is 158 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: if I if I go at an issue. While those 159 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: yields are exceptionally low, the tradeoff is it does increase 160 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: today's interest expense relative to having a shorter maturity profile. 161 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: So the Treasury is trying to balance, uh, stabilizing the 162 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: market expectations for what does the debt issuance look like, 163 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: and managing today's interest expense. And certainly the calls for 164 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: extending the debt is because you're at historic levels of 165 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: interest rates and like any individual would benefit from locking 166 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: that in. The offset of that is that you end 167 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,599 Speaker 1: up paying higher interest expense today. That benefits. That's the 168 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: key point. And and that's a calculation treasury, and that 169 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: has a budget and that has a budgetary impact, and 170 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: that budgetary impact is part of the part of the 171 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: political debate. Jeffrey Rosenberg where this black rock will continue 172 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: this discussion, I want to migrate back to real your 173 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: yields in the financial repression that's so many, particularly the 174 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: elderly are facing now just continues and continues.

Now you're you're in like 236 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: the fixed income of division, right, such a great skill 237 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: as you spread things out. I think of your colleague 238 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: Roberts Sinch from years ago and crime now it ammers 239 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: pure pond and the magic of Bob Sinch and the 240 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: magic of jeff Rosenberg is you don't stay narrow, you 241 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: look across asset class is it seems like right now 242 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: that's more important than it's really ever been in my time, 243 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, you know it has been certainly we we 244 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: went through the global financial crisis and and it's been 245 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: a market where macro issues can dominate and and have dominated, 246 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: and and the big macro story today is China. And 247 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: you know, interestingly, in in in looking at the headlines 248 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: and what people are talking about, I don't think people 249 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: are talking enough about that. People's daily article, Yes, thank you, 250 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you so much. I thought the same 251 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: thing discussed that. It's it's incredibly important. You know, we 252 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: when we follow Mario Draggy or Janet Yellen, we have 253 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: incredible transparency to policymaking. When it comes to China, we 254 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: don't have the same degree of transparency, and the manner 255 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: in which they communicate their policy is in often cases 256 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: the third time that we've seen this authoritative person sort 257 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: of approach taken out of the official mouthpiece of their 258 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: state controlled media. And that's really the important because there 259 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: there's a policy being signaled, and the policy that's being 260 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: signaled is is a change with regards to expectations. Are 261 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: trying to manage expectations around the credit growth. Now, what 262 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: what financial markets and participants I think have realized is 263 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: that mid February and February eleven we hit a low point. 264 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: And why we hit that low point had a lot 265 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: to do with concerns around China. And then we had 266 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: a policy intervention by China and that had a lot 267 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: to do with the rally and the rallying is petering out. 268 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: And while there are many things that are going on, 269 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: one of the big macro stories here is really the 270 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: success of bringing back growth expectations from those traditional credit channels. 271 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: And what that article was talking about is don't expect 272 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: that to continue forever. There are limits to how much 273 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: credit fueled growth can drive growth in China, drive growth 274 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: in commodity prices, and that's as a major story here 275 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: from macro investing. But when does that here? That's the question. 276 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: The Chinese seemed to have seemed to be doing what 277 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: the Europeans are so good at, and that's kicking the 278 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: can down the road. They've made things okay for two 279 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen. But once they start cleaning up the 280 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: mess they've created, how badly does that affect the world? 281 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: And we do do have to position yourself now for that. Well, 282 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: there's two things. In terms of when it hits it 283 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: it hit yesterday, I mean, the Shanghai was down almost 284 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: three percent. The rest of the market seem to ignore it. 285 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: And I think again that goes to this concept of 286 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: this isn't an official policy statement from a recognizable official 287 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: People don't know exactly how to interpret that, and so 288 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: there's a bit of a bit of a debate. But 289 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: we'll see this show up in the next month. We'll 290 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: see it show up in the next quarter in terms 291 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: of what we see coming out of China in terms 292 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: of credit growth, what we're seeing already in terms of 293 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: the impact of the clamp down on the speculation in 294 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: Chinese traded commodities, you're seeing that already in financial markets. 295 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: So this stuff shows up now. The bigger picture stuff, Mike, 296 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: is really about the long term story, which is the 297 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: credit It the the hangover after the party, the implications 298 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: of all the credit growth, and how much of that 299 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: credit growth has been good and how much of it 300 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: has led to losses and the recognition of those loss Mike, 301 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: here's the People's Daily quote that Mr Rosenborg is talking about. 302 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: After comprehensive judgment, our economic recovery cannot be you shaped, 303 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: cannot be V shaped, but will be L shaped. That 304 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: from zero hedge, Mike, what's L shaped? Yeah, in China, 305 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: that's your hockey stick. I think, well, what you what 306 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: you don't want is L shaped on the way down 307 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: where you fall a lot and then you just stay flat. 308 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: But well, if if I can just throw in you know, 309 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: L shaped means that they're stabilizing at the six and 310 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: a half to seven percent, So trying to dampen expectations 311 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: that the growth that you saw in the first quarter 312 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: coming out of the spectacular increase in credit, that's not 313 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: going to be a plan to get back to higher 314 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: levels of growth. But it's also saying we're not going 315 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: to see growth collapsing, so they're trying to create an 316 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: expectation for stable growth. Can you ask your question because 317 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: you're you know you, you and I a mike working 318 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: to rarefied zip code? Are we just talking about a 319 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: lot of macro mumbo jumbo which benefits the guilded age 320 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: and the plutocracy. Where's the benefit to our listeners? Going great? 321 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: Mr Rosenberg brilliant? When does my real rate go up? 322 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: So so a big part in terms of in terms 323 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: of the savings impact, right, so, negative interest rates. It's 324 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: all been about create a wealth effect. The wealth effect 325 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: has some unsavory side effects that it creates distributional impacts, 326 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: meaning the wealth effect benefits people who have assets and 327 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: the savers. If you don't have enough assets, so you 328 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: don't have your savings in the right kind of assets 329 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: that the FEDS policies are favoring, then you then you 330 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: then you you can be you can be left behind. 331 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: When do interest rates finally start to go up? And 332 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: why is the China peace sort of important to that? 333 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: Is this is about the global growth environment, and China 334 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: hasn't been contributing that may be clear. It contributes tremendous 335 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: to overall economic growth.
