Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course, on the Bloomberg See 5 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: your top story. It is ECB decision Day. In the 6 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: next hour, Presidents Drag and the ECB set to announce 7 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: cuts the growth and inflation forecast. Investors waiting to see 8 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: what policy options the Governing Council reaches for. Here in 9 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: New York to discuss is David Rosenberg, Gluskin Chef, chief 10 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: economist and strategist. Good morning to David. The first job 11 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: of President dr KEI today is to do one well. 12 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: The question is going to be, um, whether he's going 13 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: to be incremental and wait till the April ECB meeting 14 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: UH truly sound more forceful, or whether he will do 15 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: it today. Um. There's no question that there will be 16 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: some sort of shift in the rates guidance, uh, in 17 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: terms of you know, well known leave rates on hold, 18 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: you know right now it's through the summer. I expect 19 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: that he's going to say that rates will be on 20 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: hold through the end of UH the year UH. And 21 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: the question is really going to be, um, what he 22 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: says about the t l TROP program to help both 23 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: the belieguered banks, especially in Italy. And so the question 24 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: is really going to be not whether he's going to 25 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: be dovish every central banks to any more dovish right now, 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: but the question is going to be is he gonna 27 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: wait till April to be more forceful or is he 28 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: going to choose to be more incremental. So we're gonna 29 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: hear a lot about tel trips. I imagined in the 30 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: next couple of hour they targeted long term refinancing operations. 31 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: This to me doesn't sound too stimulative. This seems to 32 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: be about preventing a credit crunch from materializing more than 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: stimulating the Eurozone economy. Absolutely. I mean, this would be 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: just a pure and simple insurance policy against back stopping 35 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: the banking system. I think the other issue is going 36 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: to be what and this is really what's going to 37 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: be critical, because certainly what the Eurozone could also use 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: from a stimulus standpoint, considering how weak the manufacturing sector 39 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: has been everywhere and especially even in Germany, UM is 40 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: that they need a weaker euro, they need to shift 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: their rates guidance. You see, this is what's happened, is 42 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: that the Fed has already taken out whatever rate hikes 43 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: were priced in several months ago. I think that the 44 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: ECB has to change its rates guidance that um that 45 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: there are really no increases coming for the resueable future, 46 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: and not even put a time stamp on it like 47 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: they've already done. The present rate guidance is to redundant, 48 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: isn't it, David Well, I think that what you want 49 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: to start doing is is reinforced the notion that you 50 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: know that the next move could actually even be an 51 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: ease uh. Interesting, And so I think that I think 52 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: that that's something that we have to consider. You've got 53 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: to say, draw bank here. There's no doubt they're going 54 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: to cut their growth forecast, and not just a growth forecast. 55 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Remember it's a central bank of the inflation mandate, uh. 56 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: And they're going to cut the inflation forecast before they've 57 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: even reached their target. That actually says to me, as 58 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, as bizarre as it might sound, looking at 59 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: how stimulative ECB policy is that when the benchmarket against 60 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: where we are in the cycle, the level of the 61 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: up book gap and disinflationary pressures that that perhaps the 62 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: easing cycle there shouldn't be ending as quickly as it did. 63 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: I mean, remember they ended quantitative easing at the end 64 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: of last year. Look, it may have been just a 65 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: little bit too premature, David. Some people have said the 66 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: ECB and the Government Council over the last few quarters 67 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: has been incredibly complacent. We heard through the back half 68 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: of last year that the slowdown would be temporary, that 69 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: it would fade, that things would bottom out. The slowdown 70 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: bled into quite clearly. There are some signs in services 71 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: and the labor market that things are stabilizing. Is there 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: a chance that the ECB focuses on that today and 73 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: actually sees a reason to be patient and not do 74 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: anything just yet. I think that would be a big mistake. UH, 75 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: And even people who are focusing on the service sector 76 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: p MHIG data in the United States, UH, services are 77 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: inherently sticky. They're not nearly a cyclical as the goods 78 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: producing sector is manufacturing globally and including Europe, is in 79 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: various stages of disarray. UH. Services ultimately, and you talk 80 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: about the labor market, everything ultimately, services the goods producing sector. Uh, 81 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: and it's extremely weak. And I think that's what we 82 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: be focused on right now. And I said before, let's 83 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: leave the economy aside. Uh. The truth is always in 84 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: the price. If you're cutting your inflation targets, your inflation forecast, 85 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 1: and if inflation is below your objectives, uh, the price 86 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: numbers are telling you about the state of domestic demand. 87 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: And so right there, I think that deserves a shift, 88 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: a big shift in the tone by the central banks. 89 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: David Rosenberg, No one but you owns the slicing and 90 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: dicing of inflation. You've absolutely killed it, maybe along with 91 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: Gary Shilling on a low interest rate regime, a low 92 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: inflation regime is well, what do you say to the 93 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: inflation optimus, not the inflation eastas, but people that say 94 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: we'll get a bid to price? Can we do that 95 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: in an age of oversupply? Well, look, we we just 96 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: got the most up to date anecdotal information on one 97 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: inflation looks like in the US, what's it looking yesterday's basebook? Well, look, 98 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: we are seeing some cost pressures, uh, partly from the tariffs, 99 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: partly from labor in the terms of tight labor markets. 100 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: Of course, that's a lagging indicator. What are the base 101 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: book tellers yesterday that companies increasingly are having trouble passing 102 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: on their cost increases in the final prices. That tells 103 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: me that there's a concern about inflation. It's more on 104 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: costs and it is on final prices. That tells me 105 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: that we're going to have margin pressure. Maybe that's more 106 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: of a problem for the stock market than it is 107 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: for anything else. But look big picture. Um, you know, 108 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: we we did have a modest inflation cycle this time. 109 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: Core inflation bottomed at point six percent. It peaked at 110 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: two point four percent. I don't think most people realize 111 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: that this was the lowest peak and core inflation in 112 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: the United States in the post World War two experience. 113 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: And that includes the UH, the the the Clever Family 114 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: of the nineteen fifties. We've never seen cor inflation peak 115 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: at such a low level despite everything we threw at it. Like, 116 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: I'm still surprised people are talking about inflation. Uh. We 117 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: threw two rounds of huge fiscal stimulus at the situation 118 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: zero percent interest rates for the better part of seven 119 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: or eight years, relentless quantitative easings, and and that the 120 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: peak and cor inflation was two point four. You know 121 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: there's no inflation for New York Islanders tickets. I mean 122 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: you and I could go see Canadians Islanders March fourteen 123 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: for half the price. We'd see it at the Forum 124 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: or the Madison Square Guard. Well that's half the price 125 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: to you. But I'm playing it in Canadian dollars. So 126 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: you've got attack from me. Okay, Well, what's gonna happen there? 127 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: Unless you're treating? Can you know why I'm treating? Can 128 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: we do that? John? I don't know if we can. 129 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: Maybe if we take you it's called a mercy mission, 130 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: that would be a great place for you. That would 131 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: be a great place for you to see a first 132 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: hockey game. Seriously, Yeah, it's a it's a dump of 133 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: an arena. They've redone it like the old expense it 134 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: Reddo will pick it up, red O, Keeper of the 135 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: m X David give us an update at the time 136 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: we've got left with you on the chaos politically in 137 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: your Canada. Well, look, I would say that it's a 138 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: little overblown. Um and uh uh. You know the situation 139 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: with Lavlin from something that happened a decade ago, and 140 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: you know the extent to which the Prime Minister in 141 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: his office, you know, pressure the Attorney general. I mean 142 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: this is actually in many respects um part for the course, 143 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: as far as UH Government Canada is concerned, it was basically, um, 144 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: you know, the Attorney General claiming that there was a 145 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: lot of undue pressure on so on and so forth. UM. 146 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: I just think that the problem is more of that 147 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: the Prime minister, that Prime Minister Trudeau you know, came 148 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: in um with a really squeaky clean image and um 149 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: and portrayed that on it and and you know, and 150 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: so look you go back to Stephen Harper. His big 151 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: scandal was was, if you remember, it was the Mike 152 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: Duffy affair, which was a bit of a joke. You 153 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: know when you take a look at the US and 154 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: the stuff happening, um, you know in Washington, what's happening 155 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: in Ottawa now is actually pales in comparison. But you know, 156 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: when you benchmarket once again against you know, UM, a 157 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: squeaky clean image and all of a sudden, there's a 158 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: chink in the armor and next thing you know, it's 159 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: making front page news. But it's it's it's it's I 160 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: would say, overblown. You're montro Canadians fans, somehow you get 161 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: the Ottawa Senators worst in the world into it. David Rosenberg, 162 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: thank you so much, greatly appreciated this morning with Guskin 163 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 1: chef important comments there is we go to what I 164 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: thought it would be a joke, John, and all of 165 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: a sudden the ECB meeting is like the real deal 166 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: right now. William Lee with his Billy of Milk and Institute, 167 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: with his tour duty at the International Monitor Very Fund 168 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: and was City Group. Of course, we can only speak 169 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: about a record trade deficit back of solid ten even 170 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: eleven years, Billy, I want to talk about the terroriffs 171 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: in the short time we've got with you this morning. 172 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: Can we just eliminate the terroiffs? Can China pull back tariffs? 173 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: Can we pull back tariffs and basically start all over. 174 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: We have to because China desperately needs to boost its 175 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: economy and the only way they're going to be able 176 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: to do that is to restore trade to where it 177 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: was before, because their experiment of trying to do fiscal 178 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: policy right now may or may not work because they've 179 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: never done fiscal policy without a lot of critic growth. 180 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: So tariffs have to go down as far as we're concerned, Uh, 181 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: the farmers are suffering, and I think Trump's political base 182 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: is one where the farmers and manufacturers have to reassured 183 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: that job growth is there. I asked this of our covins, 184 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: A really let me ask it of you. Do you 185 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: see any indication in Washington that Mr Trump and his 186 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: political team will listen to Mr Lightheiser, Mr Cudlow and 187 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: the rest. Well, He's gonna listen in a very careful 188 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: sort of way, because look at the sequence of negotiations 189 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: he's done. He's allowed the farmers to get their deals. 190 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: He's allowed the manufacturers to have their deals with some 191 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: of the terrorists protecting them. But as far as intellectual 192 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: property protection and and and and other more nasty parts 193 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: of the trade discussion, he's letting that go. He's letting 194 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: that slide. Why is that because that benefits Silicon Valley 195 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: and let's face it, he's not going to get the 196 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: California electoral votes. So as far as helping his basis 197 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: concern Trump, President Trump has done exactly the right thing 198 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: in terms of sequencing what's important for them and allowing 199 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: the rest of the deal to to gather momentum later on. 200 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: But this really concerns me. I think the administration has 201 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: done a terrific job of getting the Chinese to come 202 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: to the table. We're so close to getting some real concessions. 203 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: Wouldn't be be a massive wasted opportunity to focus on 204 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: the trade balance and not address these bigger issues. Boy, Johnny, 205 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: I can't agree with you more. And and you know, 206 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: all this discussion about whahwih that's just the opening rounds 207 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: in the war of intellectual property protection, because let's face it, 208 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 1: no one has faith in corporate governance in China. CTE 209 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: is a great example of of of having a company 210 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: pay fines, put in uh changes, in structural changes in 211 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: the board, and we don't believe them. What's gonna happen 212 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: with Yahwei? Especially in the world of five G where 213 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: everything is equipment related and and and the the probability 214 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: of their sticking and spying material into those equipment in 215 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: the Europe and every place else, even here in rural 216 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: US is very, very high. And those are the issues 217 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: that need to be discussed. And Lightheiser is saying that 218 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: maybe enforcement mechanism comes along with more frequent discussions, Well, 219 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: good luck on that. But I think many people find 220 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: this absolutely infuriating, the idea that Huawei is suing the 221 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: US government for barring its equipment from certain networks. If 222 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: the US had the same ability to do the same 223 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: in China, can you imagine how many US companies would 224 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: be lining up suing the Chinese government to get access 225 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: into China. Try getting it, Try getting a judicial reward 226 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: in China for US company. But but you're absolutely right there. 227 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: But this whole, as I said, this is just the 228 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: opening rounds of that screw miss that we're gonna see 229 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: for years and years on how it is that we 230 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: can protect intellectual property and security at the same time 231 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: lower the cost and and and let's not forget Yahwei 232 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: and Ztes. Supply chain is intimately linked to the US 233 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: because when we shut off our suppliers to to those companies, 234 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: they almost went bankrupt. It's a John's insight that we're 235 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: close to some kind of deal. From where you sit, Bill, 236 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: is that true? Are we close to some kind of 237 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: deal or are we gonna do another Hannoy? That's the key, Tom, 238 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: I'm ask I think he can very well walk away 239 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: right now because he's gonna show he's gotta solid he's 240 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: gotta have a solid political base, and he's got to 241 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: show that he's tough and he's willing to walk away 242 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: from a bad deal. What happens when he walks away? 243 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: The markets are gonna collapse. I think everyone has priced 244 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: in some kind of a deal that that if he 245 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: were to actually walk away, I think he's better have 246 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: some plan be in mind to be able to restot markets, 247 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: because otherwise I think we could have a massive crash 248 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: in the all the global equity markets and and other markets. 249 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: I just think that way I thinks are lined up 250 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: to go full circle. To Bill's earlier comments, you hear 251 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: more and more about the American farmer. It looks like 252 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: a deal that's going to be centered around the trade balance, 253 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: perhaps the purchase of more agricultural goods. And to your 254 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: great point, Bill, it's going to be very very difficult 255 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: if you want a quick deal, it's going to be 256 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: very very difficult to get the stuff that really matters, 257 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: the structural issues technology transfer, I p theft. What happens 258 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: with Trade Representative Lighthiser if he doesn't get the deal 259 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: that he wants. I assume that there's going to be 260 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: some people that walks away. Well, unless Trump starts to 261 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: wave the flag of we have put in place of 262 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: mechanism for enforcement, and that is yet to be done. 263 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: I think if he starts waving that around, Lighthouser will 264 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,599 Speaker 1: stay to try to make that work. Billy, thank you 265 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: so much. Thanks Institute today on our international economics joining 266 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: us on the phone. Jeffrey's international chief financial economist is 267 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: joining us right now. Great to have you with us, 268 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: Sir David. David walked me through your first tape. Please. Well, 269 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the surprise to us is that they unveiled 270 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: the series of measures today. We were expecting something either 271 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: in April or June. Obviously we knew that the ECB 272 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: was going to be dubbish, but we expected the announcement 273 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: of the package the announced today to actually have been 274 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: delayed to a future meets at meeting, but the good 275 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: thing is it's it's all wrapped in together, and as 276 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: you were saying a moment ago, it does rather tie 277 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: the hand of marrow drags. It's quite clear they're trying 278 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: to engineer um a much stronger Eurozone economy going forward. 279 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: In particular, obviously the Ford guidance on rates has been 280 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: moved back that they're going to keep rates at these 281 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: levels until at least through the end of this year, 282 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: from the end of the Studdler previously. Secondly, they're obviously 283 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: introducing these under tel throws for two years, which is 284 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: targeted to lending to numberlancal corporations as the households, but 285 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: in particular as well. These are at variable rates, so 286 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: they're giving a clear here that they do expect over 287 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: the next two years or so rates to start rising. 288 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: But David, this is important. You were Jefferies, a wonderful 289 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: and international firm. You were Dressner Kleinwood before, so you 290 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: understand continental banking and continental central banking. Can they be 291 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: optimistically preemptive? Is there any history that they can get 292 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: out front of a slowdown in Europe? I observe no 293 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: history where they've been able to do that. You're quite right, 294 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: some in the sense they had over the years tending 295 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: to lack developments. But I think in terms of the 296 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: slowdown that we saw in the latter stages of last year, 297 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: in particular whose reign met much led by the slowdown 298 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: that we saw more generally in trade, also trade within 299 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: the Aurozona itself, UM and also particular issues like autos 300 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: in Germany and the weakness more generally consumer durable spending. 301 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: If you look as other evidence of domestic demand, though 302 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: they've actually been picking up reasonably uh strongly, and employment 303 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: to games up in the fourth quarter of last year. 304 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: Wage inflation continues picking up. Wage inflation around the arizonas 305 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: picked up early decisively, and even bank lending has picked 306 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: up pretty decisively in most countries. Of the exceptional course 307 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: of Italy and Spain, and the Teltro's were very much targets. 308 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: I think that those two are sort of countries particularly 309 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: trying to foster greater loone growth going forward. So now 310 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: the interesting thing I've also add is the incoming ECB 311 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: Chief economists as of as of mays ear Fini Lane 312 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: currently the Central Bank Governor of Ireland, and he's very 313 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: much focused on imbalances, macrovidential policies, um and income. In 314 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: this environment, he there will be much more focused on 315 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: actually heading off in balances in a world where the 316 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: ECB is still anchoring rates very much at the floor 317 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: and trying to get bank lending growth going in all 318 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: these other countries, You've got a situation at the moment 319 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: where bank lending growth in Belgium to another tactrical rations 320 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: is growing at almost ten percent year on year UM. 321 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: It's also very strong in Germany, it's pretty strong in 322 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: France UM. And you know ECB will be aware of 323 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: these imbalances they start developing. David, you mentioned the successor 324 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: to Peter Pratt as the chief economist of the ECB. 325 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the successor of the president. The president 326 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,239 Speaker 1: dragon just tie the hands of his successor a little bit, 327 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: at least for the first few quarters. Yeah, you're absolutely right. 328 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's he's I mean, but what they 329 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: would argue is that their their guidance can change. So 330 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: if we go through into the middle of this year, 331 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: stay June, and you know, indicators are now pointing better 332 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: and core inflation sees the picking up some traction, the 333 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: guidance from the ECB can change. Obviously, these telt rows 334 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: are going to be in play now until March of 335 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: two thousand twenty three UM. Because you know, but in 336 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: that period obviously between now and the end of two 337 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: thousand and twelve, as two thousand trade two, they can 338 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: opport raise interest rates UM. And you know rates could 339 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: It's funny stifferently over the next two years anyway, But 340 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: at the moment they're still in this environment where they 341 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: just want the anchor expectations, get bank lending, going help 342 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: out Italian banks, in Spanish banks to some degree, um, 343 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: and achieve a state lusty in the way for the 344 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: europe generally. Ask you this because you're the Jeffrey, so 345 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 1: I think you're not going to be jeopardized by your 346 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 1: General Council. Isn't all of this hinged unclearing commercial banking 347 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: in Europe? And do you see any indication David on 348 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: that ECB and other regulators actually wanted once and for 349 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: all clear out troubled EU banking. Well, they certainly do, 350 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: and obviously and the regulate the national level and the 351 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: supernational level. They're trying to achieve that, um. But it's 352 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: very to work in progress and they're they're working through 353 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: all the issues in you know, every country has different issues. UM. 354 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 1: The banking sector in general in the Eurozone, as you know, 355 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: is is very large, it's very fragmented. Um. There's very 356 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: different banking models that exists across country. So you've got 357 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: very different um sort of profit margins um for the 358 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: same bank operating in different regions of the Aurozone. Obviously 359 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: they're trying to move it to you know, a one, 360 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: one stop banking sector as you have in the US 361 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: in a sense and we have here in the UK. 362 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: But they're starting out from where they are and it's 363 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: it's only work in progress, and obviously none performing loans 364 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: remain an issue in some countries. Very large bounce sheets 365 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: um still remain in others. Some of these banks all 366 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: very large. Let's sleeve it there, David, and thank you 367 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: so much. With Jeffreys, appreciate that. Actually, last wing and 368 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: I are going to digress right now. We've been watching 369 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: Europe blow up, and maybe we'll fold that into our discussion. 370 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: But right now, the woman who gives us more mail 371 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: and technical analys than anyone breathing, and that would be Louise. 372 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: She is definitive and the courage to look at long 373 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: term charts. Louise, I want to look back after this 374 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: historic moment known as December January, in February, in November, 375 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: what did your long term charts say about all that 376 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: volatility coming Well, we had been cautious for several months 377 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: before the December dropped. So the longer term monthly momentum 378 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: went negative in October, so that was a warning among 379 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: other indicators that suggested things weren't quite ready to continue 380 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: to move up. Okay, and then you enjoyed Did you 381 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: load the boat December? I mean you didn't know. We didn't. 382 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say, but um, we we prefer to 383 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: wait and see what the longer term indicators tell us. 384 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, they're still on a sell, 385 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: believe it or not. And now the daily momentum has 386 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: moved into a cell. So that allowed us to at 387 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: least suggest here that we're going to have some kind 388 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: of a pullback. We did a schematic of a big 389 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: w sort of similar to what happened in the fall 390 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: of last year. Um, if we were to come down, 391 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: maybe seven up and down, you'd have a consolidation that 392 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: would give you a configuration that then might support new 393 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: highs if in fact the market is going to choose 394 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: to do that. But if we don't hold with a 395 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: seven percent pullback, then we may be looking at something 396 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: a little more severe. I think it's a very selective 397 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: market out there, and a lot of the advancing statistics 398 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: UM would be the same stocks going higher and higher 399 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean, look at his eye links that just keeps 400 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: going up and up and up, and yet you have 401 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: practically all the energy stocks that are nothing more than 402 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: kickbacks into resistance. So, Luise, what are you know, given 403 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: that you're still cautious, what are the main contributors to 404 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: you look at the main charts, the main data points 405 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: that you look at that keep you a little bit 406 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: on the sidelines. It's mainly the monthly monthly momentum cell. 407 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: If we go back to we got our cell signal 408 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: prior to the actual declines, and it remain negative through 409 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: the test of the low, and then until we were 410 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: just about to lift through resistance, we got the buy signals. 411 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: So basically, having sold and then bought at the same price, 412 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: you you eliminated all that adda in the middle. Well, Luise, 413 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: you take one to three and you get and you 414 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: take level your mata. Right. So, Luis, if if I 415 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: still want to buy stocks and you're you're telling me 416 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: to be cautious here in the US, are there some 417 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: international markets that maybe look better from from your perspective? Uh, Well, 418 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: Switzerland certainly has been doing better than any of the 419 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,719 Speaker 1: other European area um markets, and of course you've gotten 420 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: the lift in Shanghai in the China market. Um, most 421 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: of the foreign markets that we follow have run into 422 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: resistance here, and I think it's going to be a 423 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: question of how they navigate it. Um. Most of them 424 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: remain on monthly cell signals, so we watch carefully and 425 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: it's very selective. What we've essentially said to clients is, 426 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: if you're going to play a stock that breaks out, 427 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: just crazing your trailing stop loss. Anytime Louise Yamada shows up, 428 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: I get the email. Okay, all this chit chat's fine, 429 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: just ask her about gold. Now we now have Louise 430 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: fundamental types talking up gold. I'll cite Jeff Curry at 431 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: goldban Sex. You are a gold bull, right, we have 432 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: been more constructive on gold. I necessarily say a gold bull, 433 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: but we did go more positive on gold over the 434 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: past couple. Okay, what's the wire and go back to 435 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: Yamada's speak. Is it because you're seeing distribution that's constructive? Uh? No, 436 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: it's because we were seeing, um, what might have been 437 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: defined as perhaps a five year base going back to 438 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: let's see below, was probably fifteen and you've got a 439 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: few years of consolidation on the downside to the left 440 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: and a few years of consolidation on the upside to 441 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: the right. Um. We would have liked to have seen 442 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: this move closer to fourteen hundred, but it was through 443 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: fourteen hundred that we would need to have seen. We 444 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet, but you still was in the 445 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: short term up trend. That's a classic Louisia Matta there 446 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: with a five year base the day traders over TD 447 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: ameritraty going weight right. I can't work with that. I 448 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: can't are that today, So Louise, how about on the 449 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: currency side, Tom and I? We continue to be amazed 450 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: at the strength of the dollar. Ware. Where where do 451 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: you think investor should be looking in the currency markets? Well, 452 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: they've been pretty flat until today with droggy speech. Where 453 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: the euro now looks like it's about to break down 454 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: one new weakness if it closes here at the breakdown, UM, 455 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: and the dollar has been you know, forwarding both the 456 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: bulls and the bears UM and in a rather flat, 457 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: slightly uptrending pattern. And that looks better and better. If 458 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: you get out through you could probably see a hundred again. 459 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: But we've been there before. We were there. We were 460 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: there close to it, so it's all within the pattern 461 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: of the last four years. Louise, one more question, I 462 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: want to wrap this up for all of our audience. 463 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: Are you suggesting, then, with the new weakness in a 464 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: seven percent correction, that we are within a bull market 465 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: or do you state that we've had a bull run 466 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: within a longer term bear market? Which is it? We're 467 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: on the fence. We want to see. We are definitely 468 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: on the fence those long terms Rich whom Luisa on 469 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: the fence right, it's we're on the fence. We are 470 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: We want to see the monthly momentum turned to a 471 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: bye signal and then will be a little bit more 472 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: comfortable with what we're seeing. It's been too long, Luisia 473 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: amount of thank you so much for being with us. 474 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: And I think that all of you know with my 475 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: technical analysis, Louise and I are decidedly on the same 476 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: page Paul Sweeney, and that people do not look enough 477 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: at weekly, monthly and quarterly choice.
