1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: This is breaking news update from Bloomberg Instant reaction and 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: analysis from our three thousand journalists and analysts around the world. 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: The President communicates with the world through his favorite messaging. 4 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 3: It is a very long tweet. I'm going to get 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 3: to the key sentence. 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: I've instructed the Department of War to postpone any and 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: all military strikes against Iranian power plans and energy infrastructure 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: for a five day period. Markets reverse and rocket nansdak 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 2: up two percent, standard impores five hundred, exploding up one 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty points. Pault swinging your interpretation please. 11 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 4: I think a lot of folks has been waiting for 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 4: this social media post. At some point, President Trump's just 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 4: going to say enough is enough and maybe perhaps think 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 4: about moving on. 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 3: We are fortunate to have Jaman and Brissetti here, Jamana. 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 4: I guess this raises a question in to the extent 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 4: that President Trump is looking here as this tweet suggests 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 4: to kind of step back and wind down operations in 19 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 4: that part of the world. Is there a sense that 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 4: that's the right move at this point, or is it 21 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 4: their sense that boy, the US has broken this part 22 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 4: of the world and to be up for others to 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 4: deal with it. 24 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 5: Look, I think there's a big question about what exactly 25 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 5: the US are trying to achieve here in all of 26 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 5: the mixed messaging that has come through this weekend. We 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 5: woke up in the morning on Saturday to use that 28 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 5: President Trump was thinking of a military windown, only a 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 5: few hours later to put up this forty eighth our 30 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 5: ultimatum to Iran, a threat to attack their power plants. 31 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 5: And we know that, as I just mentioned to you, 32 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 5: that would constitute a real existential threat to many of 33 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 5: these Gulf sites and desalination plants specifically, they have been 34 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 5: putting a lot of pressure, most likely on the US 35 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 5: administration not to follow through on that threat. But at 36 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 5: the same time, the fact that he's pushed it back 37 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 5: by five days suggests that the threat of them acting 38 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 5: is still there. And then equally alongside that they are 39 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 5: own reporting suggests that the US are weighing up the 40 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 5: possibility of taking over karg Islands. I think thousands of 41 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 5: more marines to the region as well, And so anyway 42 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 5: you look at it, it does seem like this war 43 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 5: is going to go on for a couple of weeks 44 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 5: rather than a couple of days. Irrespective of the posts 45 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 5: that he just put up. 46 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: Now, Jubona, please stay with us. I have to do 47 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: a market check here to keep it going. 48 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: Oil plunges, a dollar comes in weaker right now as well. 49 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 4: Also gold Tom Gold is down about three point seven 50 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 4: percent forty four hundred dollars per ounce. Robert Teeter, chief 51 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 4: investment strategist to Silver Crest Asset Management, Robert, you walked 52 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 4: into the door probably with one set of expectations. Now 53 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 4: we're here here with one tweet later or one social 54 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 4: media post later. The world's changed yet again. How do 55 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: you put that in context? Yeah? 56 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: Absolutely. You know, it's been very much a day by 57 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: day environment here, and I think this really speaks to 58 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: it as well. You know, you've had a market that 59 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: corrected sort of gradually as it went through this process, 60 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: rather than some of the prior events we've had where 61 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: you had a really big, significant decline and then you 62 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: sort of work your way back. And I think that 63 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: was the market's expectation that this day would come at 64 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: some point, So it was a step by step, day 65 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: by day adjustment. Because we sit here today, the critical 66 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: element will be if this is a five day window, 67 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: do we start to get ships and commodities and oil 68 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: flowing through the Strait in the next five days. The 69 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: timing sets up interestingly. As I look at it, you know, 70 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: this is something that could be contained to first quarter 71 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: in terms of any type of disruption that companies want 72 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: to blame this on. So if you get oil moving 73 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: in the next five days, then I think we're right 74 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: back pretty quickly to a pretty normal environment where investors 75 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: are looking at second quarter, third quarter and beyond. If 76 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: you get no traffic through the straight over the five days, 77 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: it's you know, you still have to be a little 78 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: bit careful here he. 79 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 2: Did the bond market tell the president what to do? 80 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 2: I mean, at a seismic shift in bonds, the bond 81 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: market shifted. 82 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, bonds lead stocks absolutely. Bond market 83 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: a powerful player here. If you want to call it 84 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: the bond vigilantes, you could. This is a very strong 85 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: message the bond market was sending and saying something needs 86 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: to happen and soon. Now we've had commentary before that 87 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: indicated that perhaps we were towards the end of the conflict, 88 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: and so again for me, it's a one very metric. 89 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: I look here on Bloomberg at ecan and look at 90 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: the traffic through the strait, and hopefully over the next 91 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: few days and weeks we'll start to see some numbers 92 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: sticking up there. 93 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 4: I guess if you're the Fed here, inflation was something 94 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 4: that probably had your attention a little bit more than 95 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 4: expected the last meaning maybe this suggests that there may 96 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 4: be a little easing on that front, a little bit 97 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 4: on the at least on the energy sign. 98 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's right again, especially if traffic starts 99 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: flowing through the strait, then yes, you get alleviation and 100 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: oil prices that they're seeing here this morning. That alleviates 101 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: some of the stress in terms of commodities across the board, 102 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: not just oil but other commodities as well, and the 103 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: pass through effect that puts the FED in a much 104 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: better spot. I hesitate to say that we'd get back 105 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: to normal right away, but I think pretty quickly we 106 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: can get back to normal in terms of balanced outlook, 107 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: with a bias towards a cut later in the year. 108 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: If you get a weak employment print. Our view had 109 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: always been that you will get a weak employment print 110 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: at some point. It might be a blip and that'll 111 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: be what gives the FED the catalyst to respond. 112 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: Thank you for our first view of the morning, Robert Tetter, 113 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: I greatly appreciate ahead of investment policy and strategy. Silvercrest 114 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: Asset Management, Paul I just did a fancy chart off 115 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 2: dal Jones industrial average futures. It's incredibly elegant chart. We 116 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 2: are down in the gloom of perfect two standard deviations 117 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: and we've bounced right up to my key middle term 118 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: moving average line. 119 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: We have a long way to go on the Dow 120 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 3: to get back to normal. 121 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 4: By seeing the Dow up a thousand, you don't see 122 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 4: that every day. So again, market's moving on, trying to 123 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 4: digest what this means in the next several days, of 124 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: what it means over the next several weeks. 125 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 3: So stay on it. 126 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 2: Perfect timing to speak with Henrietta, Trey's co founder Veda Partners, 127 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: just wonderful on the pulse of Washington. Henrietta, who did 128 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 2: the President listen to? Who did he take counsel from 129 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: to make this reversal in policy? 130 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 6: Well, you can really pick your target. It could be 131 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 6: the immigration polling data, It could be the fact that 132 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 6: Congress is not going to pass this two hundred billion 133 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 6: dollars supplemental spending requests for many months now. It could 134 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 6: be the prices that are increasing nationwide. It could be 135 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 6: the fact that you can't you know online the Jones 136 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 6: Act and expected to offset closure of the straight up 137 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 6: Woor moves. But the economic data sets going into a 138 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 6: INTRM election cycle are a problem that you know, the 139 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 6: president created and he has to fix. There's no interplay 140 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 6: with Congress here, so it makes sense that he be 141 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 6: the executor sort of implementing change and winding things back 142 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 6: as becomes completely untenable for the American Republic to support 143 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 6: him going into metroal elections. 144 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: But you go right to where I wanted to go next. 145 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: Who is the interplay with his an inner circle? Who 146 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: is he talking to within his inner circle or is 147 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: this a president alone? 148 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 6: I think it's got to be an expansive set on everybody, 149 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 6: from the fundraisers and the donors, to the political campaigns, 150 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 6: the down ballot Democrats excuse me, Republicans, as well as 151 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 6: his own cabinet that is continuing to see polling data 152 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 6: come in over and over and over again saying that 153 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 6: the American public does not support the war. You might 154 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 6: have ninety four percent of the magabase, but you've lost everybody, 155 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 6: including a huge majority of independence. So when you look 156 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 6: at those data sets, it doesn't matter who enters the room. 157 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 6: If it's your energy secretary, your transportation secretary, your secretary 158 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 6: of defense, all those people are getting negative feedback from 159 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 6: the Pentagon to state Department
