1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Single best idea on

2
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: a really really interesting Monday. Really just can't say enough

3
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: about if the team started putting the guest list together Friday,

4
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: blew it up in the vicinity of Sunday with all

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: we saw in China, always saw in Russia, but just

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: as importantly what we saw in the markets. I really

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: can't emphasize enough how nuance, not odd and not scary,

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: but just how nuanced the markets are. And we had

9
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: just a terrific balance today in economics, inequities, in bonds,

10
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: in foreign exchange, looking at particularly EU again, and of

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: course the international relations of the moment. Major shout out

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Alex Brideaux at Eurasia Group on very short notice his

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: wisdom on actually how does the Kremlin run? And it

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: also just Henrietta Trees was beyond brilliant with Veda partners

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: about split ticketing where our parents all voted Republican or

16
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: they all voted Democrat and is now is there going

17
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: to be split ticketing within the Democratic Party And she

18
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: was just brilliant on that. Brilliant as well in economics

19
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: and framing out the choice set that our central bank

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: has was John writing he has experienced at the Bank

21
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: of England, at the Federal Reserve, truly iconic at bear

22
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Stearn's years ago now with Green Capital, and it was

23
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: just a spirited conversation with John writing, let's listen.

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: The problem with if the FED moved to high rates,

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: it will be a tweak. But markets aren't very good

26
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: at detecting tweaks as opposed to new trends, because the

27
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: Fed has been not very good at explaining the latest

28
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: monetry policy moves, and so that was the problem. I

29
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: in December when Allison was natural for us to talk

30
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: about rate cuts, and the market, which had three rate

31
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: cuts priced in at that December meeting, which is aligned

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: with the fed's SEP projections, suddenly priced in six to

33
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 2: seven rate cuts, and you got a massive rally and

34
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: a massive easing of financial conditions. So on the other side,

35
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: if the Fed would a high because why hike just

36
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: wants it's got to be the start of something.

37
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: John writing there on the Fed speak, I've really tried

38
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: to downplay it. I don't have a big view of

39
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: the parlor game of it. I get it's about making

40
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: money in futures and all that, but I think John

41
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: writing there on the constraints that the FED has. He

42
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: also mentioned that he much prefers a transparency the dialogue

43
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: of the Bank of England right now under Governor Bailey

44
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: than what we see with the endless FED. Speaking in America,

45
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: we did look at equities, thank you, Lori Calvissina, Cameron

46
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: Dawson starting in Strong and New Edge both you know,

47
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: very optimistic. There's a bid to the market. But I

48
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: think the richest conversation today was on bonds, and I'm

49
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: gonna explain this right now. I think it's really important.

50
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: And then a spread, which the media talks about a spread, spread, spread, spread, spread,

51
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: It's not orange marmalatter nutella. A spread is the comparison

52
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: of yield of whatever bond, a corporate bond to the

53
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: full faith and credit sovereign US government bond. And so

54
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: as the yield comes down of the corporate piece closer

55
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: to the full faith and credit sovereign piece, that's the

56
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: phrase spreads narrowing. We have spreads narrowing truly in an

57
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: historic manner. Now, Greg Peters at Pigeum was really quite

58
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: good on this last week that we are upper deathcile

59
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: ten percentile of the history of spreads narrow, and they

60
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: narrow in China, they narrow across all the Pacific of

61
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: the Damien SASA or world, and they narrow in the

62
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: full faith and credit Western world as well. Amanda Lineum

63
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: of Blackrock unspreads.

64
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: I think at an aggregate level, we think that spreads

65
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: can remain pretty range bound. The exception, though, Tom, is

66
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: that we are not expecting Triple c's to catch a bid.

67
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: So far, they've lagged the overall rally in spreads. If

68
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: you just zoom in on US high yield highield spreads

69
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: are below three hundred basis points that would argue for

70
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: Triple C spreads somewhere in the seven somewhere in the

71
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 3: six hundreds. They're in the seven twenties range now. So

72
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: it just goes to show you that the market is efficient.

73
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: The market is telling you that not all corporates can

74
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: navigate this high cost of capital. We don't expect a

75
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 3: material spread widening, but I think for further tightening, you

76
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 3: need to see participation from that Triple C cohort, and

77
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 3: we just don't really see that.

78
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: And then your term Amandlione at Blackrock, she was just

79
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: brilliant there and really the dominant theme of the moment,

80
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: which is what fixed income is doing in the signals

81
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: that can give over to the equity market. Final shout

82
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: out Christopher own a Statigius with us today. Look for

83
