1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: Single best idea of post CPI. That's what we do

3
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: of PPI on Thursday and on the retail sales. Everybody

4
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: hanging on this, and of course I love what Neil

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: Duddy called the tariff derangement syndrome. And we'll have to

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: see just all the cross currents that are going on.

7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: We had a lot of good conversations. Constance Hunter of

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: EIU got us through the inflation report. Jason Furman out

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: on Twitter from Harvard with his wonderful four annualized statistics

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: one month, three months, six month, twelve month, and on

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: and on. I saw twenty eight different flavors of where

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: we're heading on inflation. I'll let you decide. We started

13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: strong with Rebecca Patterson from the Council on Foreign Relations.

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: She talked about regime chain.

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: I think we're in a new regime for inflation. I

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: think we're in a new regime for bond yields. So

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: if the economy slows a lot, which Constant Constance was

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 3: talking about right before me, if the economy slows enough,

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: that's going to help pull inflation down. But that's not

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: a situation anyone wants right. Usually you get deflation when

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: you have a deep recession.

22
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: We don't want that.

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: But I think for the Federal Reserve, I was trying

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: to look at when is the last time we got

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: this rate cuts with inflation above target and the job

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 3: market softening? But okay, okay, nineteen ninety five. So at

27
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: the time they did three twenty five basis point insurance cuts,

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: inflation was running about two point three, so lower than

29
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: where we are now. The job market was okay, but

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: the economy broadly was softening, and so they said we're

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: going to try to massage this a little bit, and

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: the stock market obviously loved it. It was up about

33
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: fifteen percent over the three cut period the SMP, and

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: I think that's probably what we're going to get this time.

35
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's one cut, two three. I

36
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: lean towards less frankly because of the inflation risk, and

37
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: I think they'll do a cut in September. It's so

38
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: priced in it would be very difficult for the Fed

39
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 3: to argue against that. But Jackson hole later this month.

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: I believe it's August twenty first, twenty third. That'll give

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: us some more color. I think on the sidelines of

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: where they're leaning.

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: Rebecca Patterson just brilliant there on bringing it back to

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: the ninety four ninety five analogy, and it's not the same,

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: but nevertheless the history is important to note. Ira Jersey

46
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: with us with Bloomberg Intelligence trying to parse out the

47
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: bond market of bills, notes and bonds. Here's Ira Jersey.

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 4: What's interesting is that we're priced now for a September

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: rate cut and a December rate cut. My feeling is

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: is that once the Fed starts to move, they're going

51
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 4: to move and keep going. They're not going to skip

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: a meeting just at random. So I think that if

53
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: they do cut in September, they'll also go in October

54
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: and then December. Now will they go more than say

55
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 4: another you know, four cuts and caught a one hundred

56
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 4: basis points or will they cut more than that? Still

57
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: an open question. I suspect that ultimately they will cut

58
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: to below three percent. So you're talking about one hundred

59
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 4: and fifty basis points one hundred and seventy five basis

60
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 4: points of ray cuts this cycle. Well, keep in mind, Tom,

61
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 4: like you know, the way that they're thinking about this.

62
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: Look inflation right now is two and a half percent

63
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: FED funds is over four percent, so that means you

64
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 4: have a one and a half percent or more than

65
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: one and a half percent a real funds rate. So

66
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: to get the neutral under be kind of there a

67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: simplistic view of the world. They should could be able

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: to cut one hundred and seventy five base points and

69
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: just be at neutral.

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: That's what we like. Rebecca Patterson to Ira Jersey just

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: just absolutely brilliant analysis. Some differences there. I think Ira

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: looking more aggressively out for raycuts and Rebecca, But at

73
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: the same time, it's the conversation that we're having, given

74
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: this moment that we're living in, and we'll go to

75
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: Jackson Hall here at the end of August all I

76
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: thought it'd be a snooze fest. Wrong. I'd scheduled climbing

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: to the top of the tetons. That's not going to

78
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: happen this time. Will be too busy on your podcast

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: across the nation on Apple, on Spotify, and on YouTube podcasts.

80
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 2: It's single best idea
