Speaker 1: job coaches in GP surgeries. Those are the stories we're

Speaker 1: looking at in today's newspapers. And I'm Leanne Geron's plus

Speaker 1: Business Set. Good morning. I'm Stephen Carroll and I'm Caroline Hick. Here.

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: All the stories that we're following today fed chief to

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: your own. Powell says at least a couple more rate

20
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: rises will be needed to get inflation under control. His

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: comments come after the Central Bank raised rates by twenty

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: five basis points. Speaking after the announcement, Pal sought to

23
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: remind markets that high inflation is still a problem. I

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: would say that our focus is not on short term moves,

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: but on sustained changes the broader financial conditions, and it

26
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: is our judgment that we're not yet in a sufficiently

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: restrictive policy stance. Despite Powell's caution, markets took his message

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: to be more dovish, with stocks and treasuries both surging.

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: The rate decision came after US job vacancies unexpectedly jumped

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: at the end of last year. The number of available

31
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: positions climbed to a five month high of just over

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: eleven million in December. Let's turn to some of the

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: bank earnings we have out this morning, starting with Deutsche

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: Bank fourth quarter fixed income sales and trade sales and

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: trading revenue coming in as a miss one and a

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: half billion euros for the fourth quarter. The estimate had

37
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: been for one point six billion euros pre tanks profit

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: also coming in below estimates seven hundred and seventy five

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: million euros. The estimate had been for one point to

40
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: five billion. Net revenue figures the fourth quarter also a

41
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: miss six point three two billion euros. The estimate had

42
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: been for six and a half billion euros. So after

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank, let's look at Santander, which is the reported

44
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: net income for the fourth quarter of two point to

45
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: nine billion euros. That was a beat on the average

46
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: analyst estimates. Santander targeting double digit revenue growth in twenty

47
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: twenty three and interestingly non performing loans. The ratio of

48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: that in the fourth quarter was three point zero eight percent,

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: so actually lower than the estimate for Santander. Noordia, however,

50
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: was a beat for their net interest income for the

51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, up thirty one percent from a year earlier

52
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: to one point six four billion euros. That's driven by

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: rising loan aolumes, better deposit margins at the largest lander

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: in the Nordic region and a couple of others. I

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: and G reporting a pre tax profit for the fourth

56
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: quarter also that beat average analysts estimates, and then in

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: terms of the money manages w dw S full year

58
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: net outflows come in actually above estimates nineteen point nine

59
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: billion euros, so that in terms of the earnings this morning,

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: turning to other news, more than a hundred billion dollars

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: has now been wiped off gout mcdonni's beleaguered empire. The

Speaker 1: deepening stock ride comes as some of the conglomerates dollar

63
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: bonds plunged to distress levels. Speaking in a pre recorded

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: video address to investors, Danny gave a bullish assessment of

65
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: the group's financial position. The fundamentals of our company are

66
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: very strong. Our balance it is healthy and assets robust.

67
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Our IMMEDIATEA levels and gas rows have been very strong.

68
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Was the markets tabulas we will review over capital market streity.

69
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: Mcdanie's comments come after the Indian time icon was forced

70
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: to pull a two point four billion dollar share sale

71
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: by his flagship company, even though it was fully subscribed.

72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: The value of A Danny Enterprises has fallen by so

73
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: much that investors and the offering would have been sitting

74
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: on immediate glasses of more than thirty Now. Meta shares

75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: swored after the bell in the US as fourth quarter

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: revenue beat expectations. The social media Jiant also announced that

77
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: it's boosting its share buy back program by forty billion dollars.

78
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes the company is entering a phase

79
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: change focused on efficiency. I just think we're in we've

80
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: entered somewhat of a phase change for the company where

81
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: we just grew so quickly for like the first eighteen

82
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: years of the company's growth, and it's it's very hard

83
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: to really crank on efficiency while you're growing that quickly.

84
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: So that was Zuckerberg. He's focused on efficiency. Comes after

85
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: Meta announced that it would be cutting eleven thousand jobs

86
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: in November. Barclays is weighing an increase in the bonus

87
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: pool for its fixed income trading division, the store even

88
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Charlie Palace. The unit is expected to produce record

89
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: revenue after twenty two's wild market swings. Sources say the

90
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: British Bank is considering boosting the overall incentive compensation for

91
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: fixed income traders by as much as fifteen percent. Sources

92
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: say equities trading, which suffered from a decline in derivatives

93
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: activity last year, might see its overall compensation pot trop

94
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: as much as ten percent. According to the sources, like

95
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: other Wall Street firms. Barclay's is considering cutting bonus pools

96
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: for their investment bankers by as much as fort amid

97
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: a deal making slump in New York. Charlie Palett Bloomberg

98
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Daybreak Europe. Okay, those are a few of our top

99
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: stories this morning. But on a very busy day for

100
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: central bank decisions, there's also going to be a big

101
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: focus about trading, of course, on the big lenders. I mean,

102
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: we just went through rattle through frankly a lot of

103
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: the earnings reports. Just let's focus in there on Deutsche Bank.

104
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: So the whole idea was that the fixed income sales

105
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: and trading revenue would be the thing that lifted Deutsche

106
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: Bank this quarter. But it is actually a miss um.

107
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Even though the outlook is quite interesting from Deutsche Bank

108
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: that their credit loss provisions are at the low end

109
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: for the year ahead, but it's that fixed income issue

110
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: that I think is going to be quite interesting and

111
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: also cost control at Deutsche Bank. Yeah, and that has

112
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: been one of the issues that we haven't watching out

113
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: for with Deutsche Bank. I mean, there is a point

114
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: of contrast here with the other set of bank results

115
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,239
Speaker 1: that we've had because We've had a series of beats

116
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: from a lot of the big lenders over the past

117
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: few days. So so Deutsche is standing out with a

118
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: miss on both pre tax provits and net revenues as well.

119
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: When we look at the outlook then for the year too,

120
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: they're seeing three revenue nine billion euros. They had previously

121
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: seen over twenty eight billion euros. So that is a

122
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: slight improvement on the outlook from Deutsche Bank as well.

123
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: And we're of course getting more details of this as

124
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: an mergers on the on the latest from Deutsche Bank. Yeah.

125
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely so. In terms of the newspapers, BP scaling back

126
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: is renewables push, women running UK water and job coaches

127
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: in GP surgeries. Now the paper review on blue birdday

128
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: Break Europe. The news you need to know from today's papers.

129
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: Bloom Berks Leon Garons joins us now with the details

130
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: of those stories. Lean, let's start with the Wall Street Journal.

131
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: It has the headline VP ceo plays down renewables push

132
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: as returns BLA. Yes, indeed, Stephen, good morning to you.

133
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: So Bernard Looney, the CEO of VP, is said to

134
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: be rolling back elements of the oil giants high profile

135
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: push into renewable energy, and according to the Wall Street Journal,

136
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: he is disappointed with the returns from some of the

137
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: renewable investments that have been made by BP, and it

138
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: says Looney plans to place less emphasis on ec G

139
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: goals going further, and what he's trying to do is

140
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: clarify that these targets aren't distracting from the ability of

141
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: the company to actually make a profit. And according to

142
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: the paper, Looney believes BP needs to do more to

143
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: convince their shareholders of its strategy to maximize profits in

144
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: areas where the company does have a competitive advantage, and

145
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: this is including its legacy oil and gas operations that

146
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: we know them so well for And a spokesman for

147
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: the CEO declined to comment to the Wall Street Journal.

148
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: And BP does report its earnings next week, and they

149
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: have been pretty good the last earnings that we've seen

150
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: from BP, and this is obviously due to the rising

151
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: energy prices, but once again, really interesting, seems to be

152
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: slightly moving away from e c G and renewable energy

153
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: to focus on profits. That's a big debate, isn't it

154
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: in the energy sphere. But before we get the BP

155
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: results this morning, we get the Shell fourth quarter of

156
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: results out actually at seven am, so that will also

157
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: be interesting. The expectations to see profits dip at Shell,

158
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: but no interesting on BP and versus renewables. The headline

159
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: in the Times, well, this is kind of a little

160
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: bit related. Seven Trent appoints all women top leadership team.

161
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: Tell me about this utility? Yes, indeed, So this is

162
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: the water company Caroline, which is based up in Coventry

163
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: and it's now making boardroom history. It will become the

164
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: first company in the foot see one hundred to appoint

165
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: in all women leadership team with a female chief executive

166
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: chairwoman and also chief of Financial officer. So all of

167
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: this comes as Helen Miles as set to become the

168
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,359
Speaker 1: CFO in July, along with the CEO of Live Garfield

169
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: and the chairwoman Christine Hodginson and a majority of boards

170
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: and foot see one hundred companies, Caroline as still waited

171
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: in favor of men. Of course, the number of women

172
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: in senior roles has actually been growing and we have

173
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: discussed this on the show a lot, and the water

174
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: industry has actually been the best sector for female executives

175
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: to rise to the top. And we know the CEO

176
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: of Thames Water, Southwest Water and soon Northwest Water. They

177
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: all going to be women. However, Denise Wilson, she's the

178
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: chief executive of the foot See Woman Leaders Group, says,

179
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: even though we're making massive strides in the right direction,

180
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: there is still a long way to go and we

181
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: must bear that in mind. But this seems to be

182
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: boardroom history, Caroline for all the ladies. I don't know,

183
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: I would quite like the idea of walking working in

184
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: a not that I don't like Stephen, but yeah, absolutely, Look,

185
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: I'll just chirping. There are only seven female CEOs in

186
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: the whole foot See one hundred and actually the progress

187
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: in terms of getting more women into the c suite

188
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: has really kind of been quite stagnant over the past

189
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: five years, but on a lot of metrics. But leangoes,

190
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: thank you. That's a very interesting story. At one more

191
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: from Lean the Telegraph job coaches as GP surgeries to

192
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: push unemployed over fifties back to work. What's that about.

193
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to tell you what it's all about.

194
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: This as part of the government's plan to plug gaps

195
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: in the labor workforce. We do know it's super tied

196
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: and also reduce economic inactivity among the over fifties here

197
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: in the UK. Now, the Telegraph says, is the ideas

198
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: using GP surgeries to get these coaches in to help

199
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: people in this age group and give them advice on

200
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: finding work and really getting back into the working world.

201
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: And doctors would also be able to refer patients who

202
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: want to help find work and also advice you know

203
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: where to go. Sometimes that first leap isn't it is

204
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: knowing where to go and how to go about it.

205
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: The paper says ministers are actively looking at policy as

206
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: Work and Pension Secretary Miles Stride is leading a review

207
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: into how to entice unemployed fifty to sixty year old

208
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: back into the workforce. And this is really as the

209
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: UK is the only major developed country to have suffered

210
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: a sustained rise in economic inactivity in this age group

211
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: since the start of the pandemic. And I did remember

212
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: seeing a headline recently saying get off the golf course

213
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: and get into work. I'm not sure everyone's going to

214
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: want to agree with that, and there have been trials

215
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: of this idea. A government back to pilot in South

216
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: Yorkshire where GP referred patients for work support had a

217
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: fifty percent success rate out of five thousand people, which

218
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: suggests that maybe people are ready to go back into

219
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: the workforce, but they just need that little leg up

220
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: and these job coaches are basically designed to do that. Okay,

221
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: Lean and thank you very much that review the newspapers. Now,

222
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: a couple more interest rate hikes are on the way,

223
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,479
Speaker 1: but Jerome Powell says that the disinflation process has started

224
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: as markets price in rate cuts of fifty basis points

225
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: by the end of the year from the FED. Attention

226
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: today is shifting to the ECB and the Bank of

227
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: England who make their decisions. So let's have a think

228
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: about this. Bring in our chief rates correspondent Garfield Reynolds

229
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: to digest during Power first the Garfield Good Morning Pal

230
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: says that there's more work to do, but the markets

231
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: did not seem to hear that. What should we take

232
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: away from the FED decision yesterday? Markets teams who have

233
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: decided that the more work that needs to be done

234
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: is preparation for rate cuts, which j Power did his

235
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: best to rule out the difficulty that the FED was

236
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: always going to face, though once it slowed its pace

237
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: of hikes and signal that it was close to the

238
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: end of its hiking cycle, which he definitely signaled is

239
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: that then markets would rush to price that the next

240
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: part of the cycle when the FED would turn around

241
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: and loosen policy. And in fact, there are a couple

242
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: of things that Chappou said which encouraged that. He talked

243
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: a lot about disinflation and the idea that he could

244
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: see some disinflationary impulses coming through, so that was a

245
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: red rag to the bond and stockballs as it were.

246
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: He also he did be emphasized he has been keen

247
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: to emphasize this all along, but still he did emphasize

248
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: his expectation they can manage a soft landing, and a

249
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: soft landing is seen as meaning that they do not

250
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: go so far with tightening that they crashed the economy.

251
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: So his insistence on that was taken by markets as

252
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: being Okay, they're going to go one or two more

253
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: times after this, maybe one, maybe none. And you know,

254
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: the most immediate and interesting response was the ways swamp

255
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: markets priced for two rate cuts in the second half

256
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: of this year, which is not at all something that

257
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: how you'll put on the table in his comments, but

258
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: the markets look through that. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Europe,
