It 6 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: is a most wonderful time to speak to Terry Wiseman. 7 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: He's global interest rate and Currency strategistic Macquarie, but with 8 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: decades of experience and understanding that the FED is a 9 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: central banker to the world, Dr Weisman, I what I 10 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: want to do right now is take the really important 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: comment in your recent research that the FED is far 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: more important than Amicron and the Ukraine as well. If 13 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: that's the case, what does E M want from the 14 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: central banker to the world. I think emerging markets want 15 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: what they always want, which is cheap liquidity flowing from 16 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: the developed markets into the emerging markets to help sustain 17 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: their asset prices and sustained sustain their growth in their 18 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: financial system. Unfortunately, we're probably not going to get that 19 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: that easily when the FED is retracting liquidity, and this 20 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: is not really unusual when the Fed starts into its 21 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: a tightening policy from an accommodated policy, as we saw 22 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: in two thousand thirteen with the taper tantrum, as we 23 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: saw it in two thousand fifteen in anticipation of the the 24 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: first rate hike from the Fed. There's always a class 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: of asset of assets does poorly. Two thousand thirteen during 26 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: the Taper tamptrum is clearly emerging markets. But you had 27 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: a rotation in two thousand fifteen into the into the 28 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: asset classes, and most poorly being commodities. There's always an 29 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: asset class that suffers. It may not be emerging markets 30 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: this year, by the way, it may simply be that 31 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: that class of assets that's done very well in the 32 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: previous regime of easy monetary policy and the pandemic, which 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: was large cap techy. We're seeing a money coming out 34 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: of the NASDAC one hundred uh and and and the 35 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: and the cryptocurrencies right now. The arch theory is it 36 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: e M is stronger, better, more resilient than they were 37 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: twenty or thirty years ago. Do you buy that? I 38 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: would have bought it if you asked me that two 39 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: years ago. The problem is that the pandemic has introduced 40 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: certain structural weaknesses into the emerging markets, including high debt levels. Remember, 41 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: the emerging markets were no less shot and developed markets, 42 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: and it's trying to spend their way out of the 43 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: problems of the pandemic that's left them with a high 44 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: level of debt, a high debt burden, just as it 45 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: has for the developed markets. So that thesis might it 46 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: might have been valid two years ago, it's hardly valid 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: these days. So Terry, why have we not seen more 48 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: of what you expect from the Fed? Priced in? If 49 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: we have one house after another coming out trying to 50 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: up their forecast to the for the year to five 51 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: rate hikes are possibly more well, if you mean for 52 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: for the emerging markets, I think it's because they were 53 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: never a beneficiary of of what happened over the last 54 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: two years, certainly not from a from a structural or 55 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: economic perspective. So there's a thinking out there that because 56 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: there's so much more value relatively speaking, in the emerging 57 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: markets versus developed markets, they should be rotated into as 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: we as we move out of the old regime and 59 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: into the new regime. That that might be valid, except 60 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: for the fact that I mentioned that some of these 61 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: emerging markets do have these structural issues now as a 62 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: result of the pandemic. But let's face as some of 63 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: the issues that are burning the world and the the 64 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: sentiment of traders right now are stemming from the emerging markets. 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: Russia is clearly an emerging market, China is as well, 66 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: and there are geopolitical tensions there too with regard to 67 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: Taiwan and of course Latin America. The other the other 68 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: bulish bracket emerging market is um It's it's it's confronting 69 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: a lot of political issues this year, including two major elections. 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: So yes, if it weren't for the structural issues from 71 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: the pandemic, if it weren't these real political concerns, yes, Uh, 72 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: Latin American emerging markets generally would look cheap right now. 73 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: I agree, But there's still a few headwinds. So give 74 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: us a sense of the scope of dollar strengthening that 75 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: you're expecting. So we're expecting a little bit more dollar 76 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: strengthening over the next few weeks and months, I mean, 77 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: until we get resolution from the Fed as to what 78 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: it's going to do this week and especially in March. 79 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: It feels very difficult to imagine traders jumping back into 80 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: the foreign exchange and abandoning the dollar. So I think 81 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: for the next few weeks and months, we're gonna continue 82 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: to see that strong, sturdy dollar theme that we've been 83 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: advancing and calling for since the middle of last year. 84 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: I think when we get through a few hurdles, including 85 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: the FEDS UH hike and the clarity over what their 86 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: interest rate outlook is, we get through the French elections, 87 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: maybe we get through the rush of Ukraine issues, then 88 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 1: we can expect UH some dollar weakness, but it probably 89 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: won't happen until well into the second quarter of this year. 90 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: We need to get to all of those hurdles. Tell 91 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: me of China in the state of it now, Terry Weisman, 92 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: going into the Olympics days away, and then out of 93 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: the Olympics, what happens when we go home? I don't know. 94 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: Are they going to invade Taiwan? Are they going to 95 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: continue to to um pump more more liquid into the system? 96 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: Is their property development sector going to to crash as 97 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: a result of the burden of death? Can this is 98 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: really this is your wheelhouse, Terry, Let's go there. I 99 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: don't mean to interrupt it. This is too important. Do 100 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: you suggest that their government can bail out the real 101 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: estate sector? Is then the way they've bailed out things 102 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: over the many decades. There are very few financial sector 103 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: problems that enough domestic liquidity created by the central bank 104 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: cannot solve. Okay, let's be very clear here on top 105 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: of that, China has certain advantage when dealing with these 106 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: financial sector issues. They control the state banks, for example, 107 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: they control a lot of the economy. Uh so, so 108 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: I think they're the tools at their disposal, actually greater 109 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: than the tools that might have been at the disposal 110 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: of the US and great in the global financial crisis 111 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: of two thousand nine. Uh so, so, yes, I think 112 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: that there is I mean, if if you have to 113 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: bet whether or not they're going to be able to 114 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: solve all this, I would say yes. It may not 115 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: be an a dropt solution, it might not be immediate, 116 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: but over time, I don't think it's going to lead 117 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: to the kind of concerns that we saw eleven or 118 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: twelve years ago in the Western World crisis. And mcauie Terry, 119 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: thank you, without question. This is our conversation of the 120 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: day on what we see, what we observe, what we 121 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: try to figure out forward in Ukraine. Chancellor A. Marco 122 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: is retired. So you were to say who has the 123 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: most expertise among Western diplomats on the fractious nature of 124 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: Eastern Europe down to Ukraine and all the balance of NATO, 125 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: and many would suggest that the assistance of Mr mccra 126 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: of France is Philippe Eten, his French ambassador to the 127 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: United States, but far more tours of duty in Belgrade 128 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: and buch Arest, and of course with his knowledge of 129 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: Eastern European languages of Romanian and Sir about Karad as well, Embassador, 130 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: honored to have you with us this morning. What does 131 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: the reporting, what does the zeitgeist right now in the 132 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: West get wrong on Ukraine? Well for the moment. First, 133 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: thank you for having me for the moment. Of course, 134 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: we face a very very serious crisis. We are everybody 135 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: is very much worried here about the risks of this 136 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: major crisis in the heart of Europe, and we must 137 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: combine firmness and obviously keep the channels opened. Uh. We 138 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: are doing that as friends, friends, having the Presidency of 139 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: the Council of the European Union right now with our 140 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: foreign ministers meeting again of the twenty seven countries. We 141 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: are indeed very very keen to keep a very close 142 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: consultation with the United States and between all the formats 143 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: engaged uh we see, but also you, as I said, 144 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: and NATO and the United States. And also to continue 145 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: our work together with Germany in the so called Nomine format, 146 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: to work with Ukraine Andrews Russia, to continue our work 147 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: to find a solution to the crisis in eastern Ukraine. 148 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: You were experienced moving French citizens out of a crisis 149 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: in Georgia. Georgia, of course part of the Soviet Union. 150 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: You've had a tangible hand on experience. What should be 151 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: the presentation to Mr Putin to have him find a 152 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: stability instead of an invasion of Ukraine. What is the 153 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: distinction that you believe will change Mr Putin's tone and 154 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: rhetoric and action. First, we must deter him from an 155 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: aggression by clearly indicating that any aggression would have as 156 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: a consequence, very very serious consequences. And then, as I said, 157 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: we must also, as the US as the Europeans are doing, 158 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: keep the channel opened to discuss how we have the 159 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: possibility using instruments of diplomacy to solve this crisis, also 160 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: in view of a longer term basis, which is to 161 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: rebuild the instruments of European security. So many treaties have 162 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: been abandoned in the recent years. We have this to rebuild. Now. 163 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: How much daylight is there between the French approach to 164 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: dealing with diplomacy and the US approach right now? As 165 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: I said, the French approach is not to deal with 166 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: diplomacy only. It's also a clear indication on the Europeans 167 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: side that we UH will take the measures to face 168 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: and to answer inmigration. So it's it's this dual approach 169 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: where I do not see differences between the Europeans and 170 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: the Americans ambassador going forward. There is also a lot 171 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: of tension though in the European Union because of the 172 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: bifurcated economic recoveries after the pandemic. How much has this 173 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: been a discussion As France has enjoyed a faster recovery 174 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: than many other European regions. France indeed has a regained 175 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: its position the position of its economy had been before 176 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: the Pandemics are Economic and Finance Minister and just forecast 177 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: four person growth next year and as an economistic economist, 178 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: Paul Krugman wrote in a recent column, the labor market 179 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: has not been disrupted because we have taken measures by 180 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: the way, not on in France, i think, but in Europe, 181 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: but in particular in France. As we have seen last 182 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: Monday a week ago, economy remains very attractive. Twenty one 183 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: important investors, including eleven American companies, have committed to invest 184 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: four point five billion in in the French economy and 185 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: to create ten thousand jobs, which means that's the attractiveness 186 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: of our economy is indeed quite strong. What does the 187 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: French image in Europe mean in terms of military hardware sales? 188 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: Do Ukraine? Germany seems so reticent and not on a 189 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: simplistic nature, but with airbus expertise and with jet engineering 190 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: expertise that everyone understands is world class. Will avoid submarines 191 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: with Ukraine with great respect, ambassador. But tell me what 192 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: France can signal by selling by selling French engineering to 193 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: the people of Ukraine. Uh. Well, it's not new that 194 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: we have our strong economic relationship with Ukraine, so we 195 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: we we intend to continue to to support Ukraine as 196 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: we have been doing until now. Of course, I have 197 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: to ask you one question and COVID there's been such 198 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: a an uproar within the United Kingdom in America over 199 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: mcroninal give Lisa Bramo. It's once an update on Paris 200 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: in April. In terms of our macrone how are you doing? 201 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: The micron variant had, like in the US, a very 202 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: strong search recently, uh or and we we hope it 203 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: is now having its speak. Of course, as a consequences 204 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: in terms of health intensive care units was the consequences 205 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: were not that as serious as before because people are 206 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: vaccinated a lot, and the new vaccination pass is coming 207 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: into force today. So there was a very very strong 208 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: policy in France to have everybody being vaccinated, and I 209 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: think it worked quite well because of time in the market. Sir, 210 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: we must move on, Ambassador at Young. Thank you so much, 211 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: Ambassador of France to the United States. Let's get to 212 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: Victoria Fernandez. The chief market is strategic a cross mark 213 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: global investments, and right on cue Victoria, I'll quote you. 214 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: I know everybody is saying that the FED is way 215 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: behind the curve, but I do believe that they were 216 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: trying to follow the data, at least their interpretation of 217 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: the data. What is that last bit mean, Victoria, Well, 218 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: I think Jonathan and we look, everyone has a different 219 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: opinion of what the data means, even just talking about 220 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: the inflation components a moment ago or people more concerned 221 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: about the inflation number or the response to inflation, and 222 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: so I think that's what it means. What is the 223 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: FEDS and reportation of what we're seeing? Do they still 224 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: see a transitory component even though they took that word 225 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: away because the market didn't like it. I think they do. 226 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: They anticipate that the inflation never is going to come down, 227 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: probably starting in the second quarter, and perhaps they want 228 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: to buy themselves a little bit of time, so maybe 229 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: we get one rate hike in March. I think originally 230 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: they probably wanted to wait until June to do that, 231 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: So maybe they'll give the market the first rate hike 232 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: and then hold off until the middle of the year 233 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: when inflation has come back down. So we need to 234 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: see how them uh found interprets what's going on with inflation, Victoria. 235 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: What's a sweat level out there? When you talked across 236 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: mark clients, how afraid are people? Is there any sense 237 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: of catharsis out there? And abrupt change and equity portfolios. Well. Obviously, 238 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: when we've seen some of the volatility over the last 239 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, that's made clients nervous, right, But our 240 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: conversation with them is, look, there is a lot going 241 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: on right now for the market to digest. We have 242 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: a decently strong economy. Hopefully earnings is going to continue 243 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: to support at that, but you go along with it. 244 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: We do have some high inflation numbers, we have monetary 245 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: policy we're trying to get through, and we have rich 246 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: valuations on some of these stocks out there, So the 247 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: markets trying to digest that. It's not surprising then that 248 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: we're in like the lowest death stile of stocks making 249 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: twenty day highs. But I think what's important and what 250 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: we tell our clients is look at this kind of 251 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: oversold condition that we're in, in the longer term upward 252 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: trend that the market is still in, and combine that 253 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: with the fact that credit spreads Jonathan and I we 254 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: talked about this, and I'm really yealed about a week ago. 255 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: Credit spreads are so well behaved right now that that 256 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: tells us there's still some support for the equity markets. 257 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: There's just gonna be quite a bit of volatility. I 258 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: love that you have. John has embedded a plug for 259 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: his Real Yale Show into his guests that come on 260 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: this property. Thank you for that. That is a fantastic show. 261 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: I do recommend you watch it one pm on Friday's Victoria. 262 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: How much going forward? Do you think that we have 263 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: priced in some of the potential margin compression as we 264 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: deal with the inflation that you talk about? Yeah, I 265 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: mean this is what everyone's gonna be looking at in 266 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: these earnings reports that come out. I mean this week 267 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: is jam packed. You were naming some of the companies 268 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: that we're gonna see. The biggest issue that we think 269 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: is going to be UM margin pressure when it comes 270 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: to UM wages and employment cost index. Look at the 271 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: e c I and how high that number has run. 272 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: I think the Fed is watching that very closely. JP 273 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: Morgan is an excellent example talking about UM, the issues 274 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: that they had in regards to wages going higher and 275 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: what that did to their earnings. So I think that's 276 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: gonna be key when we're looking UM at what the 277 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: earnings report tell us and the guidance. Obviously there's gonna 278 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: be some supply chain issues UM that will cause some 279 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: margin compression as well. But I think it's gonna be 280 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: the employment cost that really people are gonna be watching, 281 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: and that could make a difference when we're looking at 282 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: the volatility throughout the rest of earning season. So Victoria, 283 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: given his whole backdrop, the fact that you said that 284 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: you look or you're looking at an oversold condition, what asked, 285 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: spects of the market right now are oversold and look 286 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: attractive and given all of these risk factors that you're 287 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: putting out there, yeah, you know, at least the look 288 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: the average stock is down about fifteen percent right now 289 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: from its fifty two week HUIHS tech names even more 290 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: so around twenty, So we think people need to pull 291 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 1: out their shopping list here. We like financials as a 292 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: sector for the for two. We like JP Morgan, We 293 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 1: like Bank of America. But I think look at some 294 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: of the pullbacks that you've seen in other names, some 295 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: of those more cyclical value names. Lows is down eleven 296 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: percent over the last month. We just added to our 297 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: Lows position on Friday. Regions Financial is another name. Tractor 298 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: Supply I think was down about ten percent over the 299 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: last month. So I think look for individual names that 300 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: you can add to your portfolio that have had that 301 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: pullback and start checking them off your shopping list. Victoria 302 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: Fernandez a cross mark. Victoria, thank you for jointing us 303 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: out of course for the plug as well. When in doubt, 304 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: parachute in an optimist. There's a number of optimists are 305 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: with us, and there's no other optimist is optimistic? Is 306 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: Neil Datta And he's a been a pinata is a 307 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: pessimists have gone after him through this entire pandemic. It's 308 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: real simple. You need a theoretical construct to be in 309 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: the market. And the way to be in the market 310 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: to go up spent last year was to read Datta. 311 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: He joins us this morning. His your optimism weakened, Neil No, 312 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: I mean we have to focus back on the fundamentals, 313 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: and ultimately healthy fundamentals can help turn the market. Um. 314 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: You know, for all to talk about how this is 315 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: a FED driven slowdown, I mean, where is the flight 316 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: to safety in the dollar? Why is emerging markets out 317 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: performing this year? I mean it's all it's it's a 318 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: very sort of interesting period for the financial markets. But 319 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: that you know, on this sort of idea that growth 320 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: is decelerating. Um, you know, like so many things, I mean, 321 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: potential sightings, like UFOLS, potential sighting is not actually confirmed. 322 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: I mean you look, you think about housing, the housing 323 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: markets accelerating. Um, there's a lot of construction activity in 324 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: the pipeline. I would expect motor vehicle production to also 325 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: be accelerating this year. Uh, that's substantially running below trend. Uh. 326 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, we have um, you know, 327 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: two of Asia's largest economies taking steps to support growth 328 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: this year. So um, I think, and with the omicron 329 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: very beginning to fade, I mean, that's going to provide 330 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: a positive demand shock to the service sector, not only 331 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: in the US. But Okay, this is really critical and 332 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: goes to Krugman's essay this weekend, which I thought was 333 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: brilliant partitioning the demand side dynamics with a supply side dynamics. 334 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: And what you're suggesting, Neil is within the gloom, demand 335 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: will remain resilient, I believe. So. I mean, take a 336 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: look at mortgage purchase applications, Tom, I mean, even though 337 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: interest rates have been backing up, purchase applications have actually 338 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: been strengthening during that time, which tells you that maybe 339 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: it's not only about interest race, but things like price expectations. Right, 340 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: So the user costs for for housing, even though rates 341 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: have gone up, remain low because price expectations also remained firm. Right, 342 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: So people are going to be much more willing to 343 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: finance an asset they think is going to go up 344 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: in value. And that's underpinning demand in the housing market. 345 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you're out a situation now where the builders 346 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 1: are actually throttling sales again. So, um, you know this 347 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: isn't a demand issue. Um, so you know. Look, I 348 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: mean this deceleration call, Yes, growth will decelerate. I mean 349 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: that doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out. I mean, 350 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: we're growing very rapidly off the lows in the pandemic, 351 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: and believe it or not, a deceleration is priced in. 352 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm looking at ECFC in Bloomberg right now. Quarterly growth 353 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: expected to grow from six percent in the fourth quarter 354 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: of this year down to two and a half uh 355 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of two. So it's about what's 356 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: priced into the market and consensus expectations, and what's the 357 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: likely outcome relative to those expectations. And my sense is 358 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: the inflation sinary boom is largely continuing this year. Okay, 359 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: so if the inflationary boom is largely continuing, then how 360 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: about the risk that people were worried about maybe a 361 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: week ago about the Fed hiking rates h too quickly. 362 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: Do you think that that's an overreaction as well, since 363 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: the Fed's going to act cautiously and move slowly so 364 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: that they don't disrupt anything. Well, I think the I 365 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: think the market is right to price and hikes this year. 366 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: But I mean I think we're getting a little bit 367 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: over our skis. I mean, it looks like your dollar 368 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: futures markets basically priced for a coin flip for a 369 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: fifty basis point move in March. I mean, if history 370 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: is any guide recent history, so basically at during since 371 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: from the nineties on, the Fed's more likely to end 372 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: a tightening cycle of fifty basis points and start one. 373 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: So um, I think the odds of them going fifty 374 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: in March is basically zero. Um. But as I said, 375 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean four hikes and runoff this year, I think 376 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: that's a reasonable baseline. Um. But I think where the 377 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: markets getting a little bit over its skis here is 378 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, pricing in five hikes, maybe six sites potentially 379 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: those hikes probably shift more into you, so the markets 380 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 1: right to price in a little bit more of an 381 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: aggressive FED. But you know, let's be let's be honest 382 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: about this. Is the FED really hawkish? I mean, other 383 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: central banks are already hiking lisa And maybe that's one 384 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: of the reasons why even though the kitchen sink has 385 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 1: been thrown at the foreign exchange market, the dollar has 386 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: actually been flattening out over the last three months. The 387 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: two concerns here right now, right there's the inflation side, 388 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: which you actually endorse. You think that inflation is going 389 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: to be stickier this year throughout the year, and how 390 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: much does that crimp consumer demand, which you think it 391 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: won't necessarily do. And then there's the idea of the 392 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: FED responding to this but which will at least shake 393 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: risk markets, which possibly is a reason why you've seen 394 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: such a huge draw down, particularly in the NASDAC. On 395 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: the first point, how much can you dismiss some of 396 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: the retail sales data that we got out, some of 397 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: the peripheral sentiment data that suggests that consumers really are 398 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: pairing back on what they're buying because they're purchasing power 399 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: has gone down so much so to me, if you 400 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: look just at average generally earnings, that gives you an 401 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: incomplete picture of just how strong the consumer is, because 402 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: you have to look at aggregate wages and salaries. That's 403 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: the some product of jobs, the work week, and hourly earnings, 404 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: and that's running at a very healthy rate. In fact, 405 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: is running double digits. That was true in December as well. 406 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: It's running well above the pace of inflation. So the 407 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: aggregate sort of real income pie is growing. At the 408 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: same time, we haven't even actually had a household credit 409 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: cycle yet. If you look at consumer credit revolving credit 410 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: relative to things like disposable income or core consumer spending, 411 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: it remains well below normal. So households haven't even taken 412 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: on normal levels of credit appetites. So there's room for 413 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: improvement there. But are you we really going to worry 414 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: about um consumer spending when people are putting on down 415 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: payments for homes. I mean, you're worried about whether they're 416 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: gonna be buying cashmere sweaters during the winter when they're 417 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: buying houses. Um, so I think you know and that 418 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: and that and that's durable goods. Those are durable goods, right, 419 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: So and that obviously has tentacle into other areas of 420 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: consumer spending. You do you delay the FED rate rate 421 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: moves into two thousand twenty three. Doug cash just published 422 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: that he's buying at the sound of cannons, This off 423 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: of Nathan Mayer Rothschild from years and years ago. You 424 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: step up to the sound of cannons and start buying 425 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: into the market. The underpinning of that is framing the 426 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: FED call. Let's be clear here, how many rate rises 427 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: do you see in two thousand and twenty two. Are 428 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: you in the camp with Stephen Englander at Standard Charter 429 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: that we're gonna see a lot less movement by the 430 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: Fed than expected. Well, I think there's a decent amount 431 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: of dispersion with the Fed. But you know, look when 432 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: when when when governor uh sorry, when Minneapolis Fed President 433 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: Neil cash Car's telling you that he's penciling in two 434 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: rate hikes for this year. I think that's a reasonable 435 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: baseline of how much the FED will do, at least 436 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: at a bare minimum this year. And it's probably uh, 437 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: you know something where they go in March and June 438 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: at a minimum um, then they'll do runoff and then 439 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: if inflation is sticky. I think you can pencil and 440 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: hikes in September and December. The Wall Street Journal was 441 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: out today talking about how the FED may go at 442 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: every meeting. Again, it just tells you about how how 443 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: how much focusing it has already priced into the markets, 444 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: and how little the Fed actually has to do to 445 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: surprise in a dovish direction. So I think that you'll 446 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: probably see a bull stepending of the yolker going in 447 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: or or or immediately following the meeting. That that's that's 448 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: that's what we're telling our our clients. I think the 449 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: front end has room to rally the front room, the 450 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: front the front end has room to rallies. In other words, 451 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: you're telling your clients to buy short dated bonds and 452 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: buy the risk stories. Yeah, for a trade at least. 453 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, coin flip for for fifty basis 454 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: points in March. The odds are zero, Okay, And who's 455 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: worried about those cashmir sweatershean, No, that's for sure. No, 456 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: we appreciate it's I think the point there was Mike 457 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: and hits home. It's really really important. It's about probabilities. 458 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: This is the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast.
