13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: two hundred sixty five thousand, just about in line with forecast.

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: The current account trade deficit the broadest measure of trade

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: meantime narrowing in the fourth quarter. We're still waiting for

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Feeds Regional Manufacturing Report ten am, New York.

17

Speaker 1: Time we get figures on Jolt's job openings. Let's talk

18
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: about the FED and the CPI real quickly Thursday, Uh,

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: the CPI core topping forecast, a barage of reports from

20
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Wall Street. I might say I was kicking myself for

21
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: missing it, A barage of reports saying this means the

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: Fed is gonna go hawk ish. They're gonna signal a

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: tighter grip. What happens, you know what happens, you know,

24
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: they go otherwise. Now this morning we have Alan Greenspan. You,

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: of course remember him saying inflation coming back is an

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: issue when he cites the CPI data. Thoughts, I think

27
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: that the Broncos are gonna have to find a quarterback somewhere. Well,

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: there is that, but you have to wonder. No, But

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: I think video you bring up a really important point,

30
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: which is the jumble is out there right now. I

31
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: like the I'm putting out right now in Bloomberg go

32
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Vinnie's comment on the current account balance, which I haven't

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: looked at the ages and it's still I have to

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: look at it compared to GDP. But it's sporting. Mike, absolutely, Vinnie,

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Thank you. Video. Uh. Vinny raises a good point. Chris

36
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: Rupti Bank of Tokyo mitsu Ishi to answer the question.

37
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: Chris we got this economic data. We don't care right

38
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: because the FEDS doesn't care what's happening in the US

39
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, how do you how do you do? Yeah?

40
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know. Sometimes I hope I didn't

41
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: overreact to the FEDS news yesterday. You know, the tone

42
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: of the chairs testimony Q and A session is a

43
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: little irritating with all the risks and uncertainty. She points

44
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: to I. You know, I guess when you just break

45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: down what happened yesterday, ten of seventeen, we're looking for

46
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: four rate hikes. You know, the committee split, you know,

47
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: in terms of ideology and what they should do about it.

48
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: So before in December ten of seventeen looks for for

49
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: four great hikes. Now seven of seventeen hold that position,

50
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: which is essentially three. So we went from ten to

51
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: seven out of seventeen. I hope we didn't exaggerate it,

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, I was a little disappointed. Uh oh, come on,

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: come on, folks, let me reach stop it. Chris, let

54
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: me translate this for all of you worldwide. Chris Rusky

55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: synthesizes in short cogent balanced notes the full faith and

56
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: credit fixed income market into economics. Literally like no one

57
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: in the world. I mean, every every economist has skill sets. Chris,

58
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: you are the foundation of optimistic com I quote Michael Incredibly,

59
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: the fedacies even less urgency to normalize interest rates at

60
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: today's meeting. Rutky was on fire yesterday at three p m.

61
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: I say, yeah, well, what can I tell you? It's uh,

62
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: it's with a wind up like that. I'm almost speechless here. Yeah,

63
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's just the policy is being run under

64
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: the yelling sad, which is similar to the Bernaki said,

65
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: it's been ten years now. It's it's being done very

66
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: different than how Greenspan would have done it. How do

67
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: you have done I think they would have normalized rates

68
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: when Yelling says they're not on a presect course to

69
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: raise rates. I don't think that's appropriate. Apology. Well, Mike,

70
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: I don't mean to interrupt Chris, but I think this

71
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: is really important. Mike. Did Ellen Greenspan ever have dead

72
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: or live meetings? They were all alive because there was

73
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: no news conference in those days. I mean, and that's

74
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the bizarre thing is they've added the news conference, but

75
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: only every other meeting, So uh, the ones without news conferences, Chris,

76
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: everybody just ignores. Yeah, it's just I mean, everything seems

77
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: to be a little broken. I hope I'm not showing

78
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: my age here, the baby boom generation. But the markets

79
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: are very, very different. And one of the crazy things

80
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: is that, you know, the Feds looking to the markets,

81
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: the markets are looking at the said everyone's relying on

82
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: your dollar futures, which is the string of you know,

83
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: futures contracts where you can bet on where three month

84
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: libel is going to be in the future. The path

85
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: of rates the sad things, but that curves enormously distorted

86
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: by the fact all this corporate bond issuance and swapping

87
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: where people want to pay floating rates. Who wouldn't you know,

88
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: you usul a bond at three or four percent and

89
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: you end up paying just point five right, the said

90
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: funds rates. So that curve is distorted by the fact

91
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: that the Fed's kept rates down here for eight years.

92
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: You know, people are taking the bed. It's like I

93
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: tell people rates are going to go up, and people say, okay,

94
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: but in the meantime, I'm gonna pay floating here. I mean,

95
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: who would not want to x money free? Remember the

96
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: concept of the risk free interest rate, risk free return

97
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean everything I learned as a c if A

98
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: has gone out the window here at the moment with

99
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: this zero zero rate idea. But I don't want to

100
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: get two worked up here. No I'm not angry. No,

101
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be. You come into work every day and

102
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: you have no reason for being well. I think we're

103
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna come back with Chris Ruppie quickly, Chris, how many

104
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: rate hikes this year? I'm gonna say free, because really

105
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: I have to. I have to be the lone voice

106
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: and the wilderness. Yeah, no, I think they need in

107
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: a normal, live po Okay, we're gonna set up here.

108
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: This is a beautiful and respectful debate between Mr Ruskie

109
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: and Bank of Tokyo, and it's a bi of course,

110
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: ellen Zenter making a huge splash a Morgan Stanley aggressively

111
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: last year and now even further going to one rate

112
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: hike uh this year. So that sets up a nice

113
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: tension to move his forward, and of course the effect

114
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: on yields and the effect on markets as well, some

115
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: real emotion. Two hours ago after the BOE announcement, currency

116
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: markets have stabilized. Yeah, one eleven eighty three weaker yen.

117
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: What's happening around the world. Let's get the answer from

118
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: Michael Barb. Mike con thank you very much. President Vladimir

119
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: Putin says Russia can again build up its forces in

120
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Syria in a few hours if necessary, and we will

121
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: continue to strike extremist groups. On Monday, Putin ordered the

122
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: withdrawal of the bulk of Russian war planes from Syria,

123
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: as Syrian peace talks began in Geneva. U s Supreme

124
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: Court nominee Merritt Garland will meet Democratic Senators Harry Reid

125
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: and Patrick Leahy on Capitol Hill today. Senate Republicans insists

126
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: they will not consider any nominee until a new president

127
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: takes office. Anti government protests erupted in Brazil, and it

128
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: comes after President dil Marusso named Luis Ignatio Lula the

129
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: Silva as chief of staff yesterday. Russef says the move

130
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: was not the shield the former president from a corruption probe,

131
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: but a federal judge released phone recordings that critics say

132
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: suggest otherwise. President Obama spoke at a White House event

133
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: yesterday to celebrate a women's history month. The president says

134
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: it's time for the nation's leaders to reflect the majority

135
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: of its population. Wouldn't it be better for America if

136
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: women weren't discouraged from seeking office because of double standards,

137
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: and we have more women and possessions of power of

143
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: The Knicks play of the Warriors. Nick fans can't help

144
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: but wonder what could have been the two thousand nine

145
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: NBA draft. Golden State had the seventh pick that year

146
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: and took Steph Curry. The Knicks picked eight, would have

147
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: taken and Curry. Had the Warriors not, they settled for

148
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the long since forgotten Jordan Hill day at the office

149
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: for Curry last night, thirty four points without even playing

150
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, made eight of thirteen threes. The Warriors

151
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: rolled eighty five, now sixty one and six with fifty

152
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: consecutive regular season home victories. It's the knicks nineteenth loss

153
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: in their last twenty five games. Rangers in Anaheim out

154
