1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: We are so honored. In short notice, she came into

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: a Rebecca Patterson is with us with all of our

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: work at Bridgewater over the years, and of course at

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: best in her trust as well. What does boring quiet

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: money do given the shock of a two hundred and

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: fifty six thousands to woe is me, doom and gloom

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: America forget about it? What does quiet money do this year?

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: I think quiet money is already invested in equities, and

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: as long as the consumers holding in and they have

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: jobs and the confidence to spend in today's data says

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: they do, then I think you can stay in equities now.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: Given valuations, the upside's going to be a little more

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: limited unless we keep getting positive surprises. The challenge, I

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: think is where do you go in the equity market?

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: Right small cap initially rallied on the Trump win, thinking deregulation,

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: lower rates, it's going to be great, and they've given

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: back all of those gains right after the election because

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: of rising yields. Small cap needs strong growth and lower yields,

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: and right now they're not getting enough of both.

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Lisa, thanks for doing that report. Sweeney was occupied. I

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: saw him on the phone with his realtor. Yeah, I

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: got a thirty year bond four point nine to ninety percent. Wow,

23
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 1: does that change the landscape?

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: It does, Tom, and you we got big movement on

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: the front end of the curve, the two years up

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: ten basis points four point three six percent. There. So, Rebecca,

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: how do you think the Fed is going to digest

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: this data that received today? Because wait, the labor market

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: looks pretty solid.

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I agree with Ellen who has just

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: done before me that January pause is baked, fully baked, gotcha,

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: And now the market is discounting that the first or

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: next i should say cut or the first cut this

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: year doesn't come till October. Who the heck knows? Right,

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: It's going to depend on all the policies that get

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: rolled out. If the economy slows, if something cracks with

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: the upper income consumer to hurt their confidence and cause

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: them to pull back spending, this picture can change. If

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: immigrants fall sharply, wage costs go up, that could. I mean,

40
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: there's a lot of variables that could move us in

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: either direction. So to me, in October cut doesn't seem crazy.

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: I'm more interested right now and what's going on in

43
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: the long end. The tenure yield going up, pushing up

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: mortgage rates, which is hurting the housing market, but also

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 2: what's causing it, right, and we should talk about term.

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: Pre Well we're gonna do that right now. We're going to

47
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: talk about term premium because doctor Patterson said, Tom, we're

48
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: talking about term premit. Look, let me cut to the

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: chase you have been vetted. Is a FED governor, a president,

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, somebody you know carrying coffee at the

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Echos building. Whatever you've been vetted, Rebecca Patterson. This, this

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: live tweet says it all. The last cut was a mistake.

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: It killed the Santa rally. Fold the last cut into

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: your concern about rising yields.

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: Well, it's fascinating that as the Fed has cut a

56
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: hundred basis points, the tenure yield has gone up more

57
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: than one hundred basis points. It's highly, highly unusual. What

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: I'm worried about now is if the rise and yields

59
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 2: is not a reflection of growth. I think today's move

60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: right now in the ten is stronger labor markets, so

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: a higher Fed funds rate and strong growth. That's not

62
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: a bad thing. But if the tenure is going up

63
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: because of uncertainty around policy, around FED independence, around inflation,

64
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 2: then you are going to see rising yields hurting stocks.

65
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: And we've seen that pattern over history. That's what I'm

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: worried about, not the level of the yield. What's causing

67
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: the rise in the yield.

68
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: Well, just to that point towardst the slock just in

69
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: a matter of minutes was out with a little note here.

70
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: Higher for longer continues to be the key theme in markets.

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: Higher for longer in the front end because of the

72
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: strong economy, higher for longer in the long end because

73
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: of a strong economy and fiscal worries, which goes to

74
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: your point. So I guess that kind of goes to

75
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: the question when are higher interest rates a real problem

76
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: for stocks?

77
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: Again? Psychologically maybe if we crack five percent, that could

78
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: do some damage in a short term basis, but I

79
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: think I think the bigger deal is going to be again,

80
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: what's causing it. I'm watching things like Economic Surprise Index.

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: If growth prizes are disappointing, that's bad for term premium,

82
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: i e. Term premium goes up in a bad way.

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: If inflation expectations we have data Monday, we have CPI

84
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: coming up. If those things are moving in the wrong

85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: direction and also earnings. Look what these CEOs and CFOs

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: are saying, if they're highlighting fiscal worries, if they're highlighting rates,

87
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: that could get reflected pretty quickly in term premium also

88
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: pushing up you.

89
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, we wanted to go. I'm gonna pick

90
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: on Brian moynihan. I could be James Diamond or Frankly

91
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: any other C class officer out there. They've got the

92
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: bright lights of inflation. I got a two hundred and

93
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: fifty six thousand jobs report four point one percent. I'm sorry,

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: that's an anominal GDP locked in. Do we underestimate the

95
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: revenue growth that we're going to see. I'll a Delta Airlines, Yeah,

96
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: six percent up in business class because Rebecca's flying around

97
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: the country on Delta.

98
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: Well, Delta's great. I mean, if you have to pick one,

99
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: that's that's the one that goes domestically.

100
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: That's my first seat's taken.

101
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.

102
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: In France and the fistfights exactly, they're all talking in French.

103
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're saying.

104
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: So what are we doing here? I think with the

105
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: equity markets, one of the concerns is boy, we really

106
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: have to If we're not going to get a rate

107
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: cut until October, then boy, earnings really come front center

108
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: to support this market. Is that a risk issue for you?

109
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, because again there's a smaller and smaller chunk of

110
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: the consumer that's holding everything up. Right. The lower end consumer,

111
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: we know, is hurting. So you need the upper middle

112
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: class and the upper income consumer to continue spending. They

113
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: can they have the jobs, they have, the income, they

114
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: have wealth creation from housing inequities. Do they have the

115
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: confidence and willingness to keep spending? And that can change quickly.

116
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: Right now, it looks good.

117
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: But with a nominal gd I mean, where would you

118
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: model out nominal GDP? I don't want you to do

119
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: it because I know you're not doing it, because you

120
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: know you're on in this wonderful garden leave. But if

121
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: you had an Excel spreadsheet in front of you, you've

122
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: got you've got to model four point eight percent, five

123
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: percent five percent plus nominal GDP.

124
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, No, it's hard to get barish on

125
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: equities in that environment. Again, the question is given valuations,

126
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: where do you go and the other thing beyond just

127
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: the consumer and the job market, think about tech, right,

128
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: we know, forget about Navidia. The rest of the mag

129
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: seven this year next year are going to be spending

130
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty billion. Yeah, the Microsoft eighty billion

131
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: number less Friday exactly, and that's money that's going into

132
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: the economy, also supporting this big nominal GDP number.

133
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: One of your family members calls in time lose the

134
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: jobs report. Talk to her about the dollar. Oh, the dollar,

135
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: call for remilglam Patterson.

136
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: I think we have another strong dollar year. The thing

137
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: I'm focused on really is the Chinese Rememby. They intervened

138
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: today to try to slow the depreciation. They need to depreciate.

139
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: But if they depreciate in a Trump administration, he's going

140
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: to come right back at him. And so what do

141
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 2: they do. They have to They have to stimulate the consumer.

142
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: That is are only way out and so far President

143
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: she is not willing to give on that.

144
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: Can you model a vector of depreciation back to where

145
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: they were with weakness pre two thousand and five. I

146
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: think it was hoof. That's a big move.

147
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: That's a big movie trying to make some news.

148
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: Look.

149
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen, the rememby fell ten percent against the dollar,

150
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: during the trade war. Most economists and strategists I'm talking

151
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: to think that is very likely to happen again. So

152
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: here's your headline. The Chinese rememby if the PBOC, if

153
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: the central Bank lets it, is going to fall ten

154
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: percent or more this year. The question is will they

155
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: allow it? Are they are they going to avoid capital

156
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,000
