1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: Good morning.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: stories we're following today.

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 3: Here, and we begin with tensions escalating in the Middle East.

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 3: An Egyptian soldier has been killed in a clash with

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 3: Israeli troops at the Rafa border crossing in Gaza. The

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: death comes after an Israeli airstrike killed and estimated forty

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 3: five Palestinians at a camp for displaced people in the territory.

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: We get more from Bloomberg Middle East anchor Jumana Bersecci.

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 4: But the big question for the international community is whether

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 4: or not what happened over the weekend constitutes a red

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 4: line as far as the US are concerned, and whether

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 4: actually it would lead to any impact on the shipment

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 4: of military equipment or even a pause of the military

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: equipment that the US had promised to provide Israel with.

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Jamani Barsati says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nittanyahu has

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: called the airstrike in Rafas Sunday a quote tragic mistake.

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, Former President Donald Trump is taking a hardline

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: stance on pro Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses. According to

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: her report in The Washington Post, he told donors at

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: a recent event in New York that he deports student protesters,

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: and he praised New York City police for clearing the

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: demonstration at Columbia University. Trump said he supports Israel's right

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: to continue its war on terror, but donors at the

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: gathering say he didn't mention Prime Minister net Yahoo that

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: you have not spoken in years. Trump has complained about

28
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: net Yaho publicly after he acknowledged President Biden's win in

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 4: Well.

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Karen closing arguments are expected today in Trump's criminal

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: hush money trial in New York. Bloomberg Zamy Morris as

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 3: a preview.

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 5: Prosecutors will present their summations first as they try to

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 5: convince the jury that Donald Trump falsified business records. They

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 5: have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump intentionally

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 5: made or directed others to make false entries in business records,

38
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 5: did so with the intent to commit another underlying crime,

39
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 5: and sought to conceal the commission of that crime. Now,

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 5: the defense only has to sway one juror because the

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 5: verdict has to be unanimous. If the jury deadlocks, the

42
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 5: judge can declare a mistrial. Judge Wan Mershaun said last

43
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 5: week he hopes the jury will get the case by tomorrow.

44
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio.

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: All right, Amy, thanks. Back at the White House, the

46
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: Biden administration is unveiling a new approach to climate policy.

47
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and other cabinet officials are recommending

48
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: that companies be allowed to use curbon credits to offset

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: some of their so called Scope three emissions, or those

50
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: generated by their suppliers and customers. Carbon offsets have been

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: criticized in the past. Some of the methods used to

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: calculate carbon dioxide taken out of the atmosphere have not

53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: fulfilled their claims. Secretary Yellen says voluntary carbon markets can

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: help unlock the power of private markets to reduce emissions,

55
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: but only if we address existing challenges well.

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: Turning to financial markets, Karen wall Street gets back to

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 3: work following the long holiday week, and perhaps the biggest

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: market moving event of the week is going to come

59
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: on Friday. That's when we get the Federal reserves, favorite

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: measure of underlying inflation. We get a preview now from

61
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Jeff Bellinger.

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 6: The Fed's first line inflation gauge may be about to

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 6: show some modest relief from stubborn price pressures. Economists expect

64
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 6: the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index minus food and energy

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 6: to rise two tenths of a percent in April. That

66
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 6: would mark the smallest advance so far this year for

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 6: the measure, which provides a better snapshot of underlying inflation.

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 6: FED Chair Jay Powell and his colleagues have stressed the

69
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 6: need for more evidence that inflation is on a sustained

70
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 6: path to their two percent goal before cutting the benchmark

71
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 6: interest rate. That rate has been at a two decade

72
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 6: high since July. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg Radio, all.

73
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: Right, Jeff, thanks so. We also continue to hear from

74
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: several FED officials this week. This morning in Tokyo, Cleveland,

75
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: FED President Loretta mess said the US Central Bank should

76
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: consider ways to better communicate to the public how economic

77
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: conditions will affect future policy decisions. Mester recommended two key changes,

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: adding more words to the Fed's post meeting policy statement

79
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: to describe how officials assess economic developments and potential risk

80
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: to the outlook and more detail to its quarterly summary

81
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: of policy makers Economic Forecasts.

82
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: Well, here's a milestone, Karen. For the first time in

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: one hundred years, stock trades on Wall Street will have

84
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: to settle in a single day. Shift to the system

85
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: known as T plus one will cut the time it

86
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: takes to complete every transaction in half. We get more

87
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: from Bloomberg's Crity Gupta.

88
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 7: This needs to be a T plus five. This needs

89
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 7: to take five days to settle trades. And the reason

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 7: back then that they had to kind of shrink the

91
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 7: time was because so many people were getting involved in

92
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 7: the stock market. It was called the Roaring twenties for

93
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 7: a reason. Fast forward essentially later, you see the same

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 7: kind of impulse to get involved in the stock market

95
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty one. And that's where all of this

96
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 7: comes from. The problem is there are some teething paints

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 7: that come with it, and so when all a lot

98
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 7: of people are hitting their desks today, they're going to

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 7: be saying, Okay, well, let's all kind of brace for

100
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 7: impact here, because there are liquidity concerns, there are staffing concerns,

101
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 7: there are technical glitches that can go wrong as they

102
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 7: adopt the system, now.

103
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: Boomberg's Critty Gibda says this isn't the first time Wall

104
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: Street's gone through a transition like this, but industry pros

105
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: say it will be the most challenging.

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, the shine may be back on Apple and China.

107
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: iPhone staged a rebound last month, with shipment's rising fifty

108
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: two percent amid a flurry of discounts from retail partners.

109
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: Apple and its Chinese resellers have been cutting prices since

110
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: it started a year, and those deals are extending into

111
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: this summer sales season. Shares of Apple are at more

112
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: than two percent in early trading.

113
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to keep an eye on so called

114
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: meme stocks as well, Karen. They are back on the move.

115
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: Game Stop and AMC Entertainment are two of the most

116
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 3: actively traded stocks this morning. Shares of game Stop are

117
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: up nineteen and a half percent. The video game retailer

118
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: brought in nearly a billion dollars from a share sale program.

119
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: AMC is up five and a half percent.

120
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: And it's time now for a look at some of

121
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: the other stories making news in New York and around

122
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: the world. And for that were joined by Bloomberg's Michael

123
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: Barr Michael, Good morning.

124
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 8: Good morning, Karen. A series of powerful storms in the

125
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 8: central and southern US over the Memorial Day holiday weekend

126
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 8: has killed at least twenty three people living, homes and

127
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 8: businesses destroyed, and power outages. In Valley View, Texas. This

128
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 8: man says he was driving with his wife and took

129
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 8: shelter at a gas station.

130
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: It got so intense that I could feel every particle

131
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: of dirt, sand, fiberglass, glass hitting my face.

132
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 8: The destructive storms also caused deaths in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

133
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 8: The big return home day for the holiday weekend was

134
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 8: not an easy trip for some airline passengers who were

135
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 8: impacted by bad weather. In the northeast. La Guardia Airport

136
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 8: and Newark Liberty experienced the worst of canceled and delayed flights.

137
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 8: The TSA two point nine million people were screened at

138
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 8: US airports on Friday, a single day record. Passengers on

139
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 8: board a Spirit Airlines flight who came close to a

140
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 8: water landing and now sharing their stories the moments before

141
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 8: their safe return to Montego Bay Terminal in Jamaica, they

142
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 8: were having a frightening experience. This passenger says of the

143
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 8: fort Lauderdale, Florida bound flight first announced he would be

144
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 8: turning the plane back to Jamaica's airport to address a

145
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 8: maintenance issue, and then she heard the pilot again, and

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 8: when he.

147
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: Said prepare for emergency landing, I took my earbud out

148
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 5: and I looked at the two people in my raw.

149
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 8: I said, did he just say water landing?

150
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: And they said yeah.

151
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 8: Everyone on board was provided with meal vouchers, hotel accommodations,

152
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 8: and were rebooked. The search for three men who were

153
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 8: allegedly involved in the death of a soap star continues.

154
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 8: Los Angeles police say thirty seven year old Johnny wactor

155
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 8: who played Brando Corbett on ABC's General Hospital, I've interrupted

156
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 8: a possible car theft right before the gunshots early Saturday morning.

157
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 8: Fellow actor and friend Colin Flynn.

158
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: Donnie is just an unbelievable friend. He such a humble, loving,

159
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: passionate person.

Speaker 9: Four years later led Portland to the NBA title and

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 9: that game a long run of foot injuries, but in

192
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 9: nineteen eighty six he helped the Celtics to the championship,

193
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 9: and then despite a lifelong stuttering problem, Walton became a

194
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,000

217
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Weel we are heading into

218
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: a holiday shortened trading week this morning with a lot

219
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: of investor focus on what's coming. At the end of

220
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: this week. The feds preferred reading on inflation could give

221
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: more of a clue on the path for interest rates

222
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: for the next rest of this year. For more, we

223
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: are joined in our Bloomberg Interactive Brokers Studio by Lori Calvacina,

224
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: head of US Equity Strategy at RBC Capital Markets, Lourd,

225
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: good morning. Always great to speak with you. So is

226
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: it all about the PCE at the end of the

227
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 3: week or is there something else that investors should be

228
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: watching out for this week?

229
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 11: Well, thanks for having me as always, Nathan. And look,

230
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 11: you know there it feels like kind of a lightish

231
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 11: week on the economic date. I think we've got a

232
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 11: consumer sentiment reading we'll keep an eye on. But I

233
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 11: do think you're right. I think it's all about inflation,

234
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 11: you know, in my meetings and I was on the

235
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 11: road again last week at all you know, centers around

236
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 11: this debate over when is the Fed going to move?

237
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 11: When should they move? But really that is the debate

238
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 11: and at all hinges on the inflation readings.

239
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: Now we got even more clues just this morning on

240
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 3: a competing network from Minneapolis FED President Neil Keshkari saying

241
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 3: that he's seeing inflation move sideways and he's still not

242
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: in a hurry to cut interest rates. I mean, is

243
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: that the message that that Fed officials are putting out here?

244
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: Is there sort of consolidation around that.

245
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 11: So look, I go back to the FED presser a

246
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 11: couple of weeks ago, and what I heard was the

247
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 11: case being made for no hikes, not necessarily more cuts,

248
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 11: And I think there was a little bit of confusion

249
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 11: initially in the investment community, and I think we're sort of,

250
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 11: in my mind at least, just sort of circling back

251
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 11: to that initial message that was put out. I will say, Nathan,

252
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 11: as I talked to investors last week, and I was

253
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 11: really mostly talking to long only investors, not hedge funds.

254
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 11: So maybe there's a little bit of a difference in

255
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 11: sentiment between those two communities in recent weeks. But for

256
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 11: the most part, the folks I was talking to last

257
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 11: week's said, Okay, you know what, if the FED doesn't

258
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 11: cut and the economy stays strong and we're trying to

259
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 11: keep the inflation genie in the bottle, that's okay. There

260
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 11: wasn't really a lot of consternation on the idea that

261
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 11: we might not get any cuts this year from the

262
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 11: investors I spoke with last week at least.

263
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: Is that a sentiment that you share that we could

264
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: see more of a rally even if we do remain

265
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: in a higher for longer rate environment.

266
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 11: So I generally think that the market is fine and

267
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 11: I think that valuations can stay fine. Where we are.

268
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 11: You know, we are at my price target of fifty

269
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 11: three hundred. You know, we haven't done sort of the

270
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 11: big second half outlook. We haven't done a twenty twenty

271
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 11: five outlook yet, but we do think based on sort

272
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 11: of the messaging of where you know, the economy is

273
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 11: likely to be this year, what the FED is likely

274
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 11: to do or not do this year, and where inflation

275
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 11: is likely to end up, we seem fairly valued. And

276
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 11: I know that's a little bit of a boring message,

277
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 11: but we do feel a little bit stuck in neutral

278
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 11: for the moment. I will say I am not in

279
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 11: the bearish camp. We do have few strategists who are

280
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 11: still sitting over there, and we do think that we're

281
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 11: sort of midway through a recovery that begin off recession

282
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 11: like conditions in twenty twenty two. But sometimes we do

283
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 11: get a little bit stuck in the market. And that's

284
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 11: how I'm feeling at the moment.

285
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: Well, it does seem as though the bearish camp is

286
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: getting lighter and lighter by the day, and not a

287
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: whole lot of bears left at least embong prominent voices.

288
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: Could that potentially be a conturing indicator if we have

289
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: potentially too much polishness in the market right now?

290
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 11: You know, it's a great point, Nathan. And as someone

291
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 11: who's been knocking around the equity strategy world for you know,

292
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 11: I think it's been like twenty three twenty four years

293
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 11: since I made my way into the first strategy job

294
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 11: as a peon, mind you, but the reality is that

295
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 11: is something we do tend to learn. When you tend

296
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 11: to see strategists, you know, sort of rush to you know,

297
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 11: kind of all raise their targets in a market that's

298
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 11: been rallying and surprising expectations, it makes you want to

299
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 11: stop and pause and reflect and be very very careful.

300
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 11: And I'm not saying that they're all wrong. We do

301
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 11: talk about our valuation work as more of a compass,

302
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 11: not a GPS I. You know, we do generally side,

303
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 11: you know, with the bulls over the b and these scenarios.

304
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 11: But I do think when we just look at data,

305
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 11: we look at AAII, we look at CFTC, you know,

306
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 11: sort of hard weekly data points that we continue to get,

307
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 11: they're still showing us sort of either at froth on

308
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 11: the CFTC data or on the cusp of being frothy

309
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 11: again on the AAII data. So I do think this

310
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 11: is a good time to maybe just sit and think

311
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,239
Speaker 11: a little.

312
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 3: Got about a minute left. If we're sitting and thinking

313
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 3: on the S and P five hundred level, does that

314
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: carry through into broader indexes like the Russell two thousand.

315
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 11: So the Russell two thousand is weakening again and we're

316
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 11: retesting those lows that we've made a couple times over

317
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 11: the past years relative to the S and P. And

318
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 11: I think that's really because small caps are caught up

319
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 11: in FED cut optimism and it's been kind of sucked

320
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 11: out of the market again. That's pressured that part of

321
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 11: the market. There's a lot of interesting stuff in terms

322
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 11: of relative valuation positioning looks interesting, but at the end

323
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 11: of the day, we need the confidence that the fed

324
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 11: cuts are coming to get that part of the market
