WEBVTT - Instant Reaction: Stocks Surge After Trump Statement

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>This is breaking news update from Bloomberg Instant reaction and

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>analysis from our three thousand journalists and analysts around the world.

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>The President communicates with the world through his favorite messaging.

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 3>It is a very long tweet. I'm going to get

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 3>to the key sentence.

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:23.079
<v Speaker 2>I've instructed the Department of War to postpone any and

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 2>all military strikes against Iranian power plans and energy infrastructure

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 2>for a five day period. Markets reverse and rocket nansdak

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>up two percent, standard impores five hundred, exploding up one

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty points. Pault swinging your interpretation please.

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 4>I think a lot of folks has been waiting for

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 4>this social media post. At some point, President Trump's just

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 4>going to say enough is enough and maybe perhaps think

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 4>about moving on.

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.599
<v Speaker 3>We are fortunate to have Jaman and Brissetti here, Jamana.

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 4>I guess this raises a question in to the extent

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 4>that President Trump is looking here as this tweet suggests

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 4>to kind of step back and wind down operations in

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.119
<v Speaker 4>that part of the world. Is there a sense that

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 4>that's the right move at this point, or is it

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 4>their sense that boy, the US has broken this part

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 4>of the world and to be up for others to

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 4>deal with it.

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 5>Look, I think there's a big question about what exactly

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 5>the US are trying to achieve here in all of

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 5>the mixed messaging that has come through this weekend. We

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 5>woke up in the morning on Saturday to use that

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 5>President Trump was thinking of a military windown, only a

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 5>few hours later to put up this forty eighth our

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 5>ultimatum to Iran, a threat to attack their power plants.

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 5>And we know that, as I just mentioned to you,

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 5>that would constitute a real existential threat to many of

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 5>these Gulf sites and desalination plants specifically, they have been

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 5>putting a lot of pressure, most likely on the US

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 5>administration not to follow through on that threat. But at

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 5>the same time, the fact that he's pushed it back

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 5>by five days suggests that the threat of them acting

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 5>is still there. And then equally alongside that they are

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 5>own reporting suggests that the US are weighing up the

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 5>possibility of taking over karg Islands. I think thousands of

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 5>more marines to the region as well, And so anyway

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 5>you look at it, it does seem like this war

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 5>is going to go on for a couple of weeks

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 5>rather than a couple of days. Irrespective of the posts

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 5>that he just put up.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Now, Jubona, please stay with us. I have to do

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 3>a market check here to keep it going.

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Oil plunges, a dollar comes in weaker right now as well.

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Also gold Tom Gold is down about three point seven

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.399
<v Speaker 4>percent forty four hundred dollars per ounce. Robert Teeter, chief

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 4>investment strategist to Silver Crest Asset Management, Robert, you walked

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 4>into the door probably with one set of expectations. Now

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 4>we're here here with one tweet later or one social

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 4>media post later. The world's changed yet again. How do

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 4>you put that in context? Yeah?

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. You know, it's been very much a day by

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>day environment here, and I think this really speaks to

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it as well. You know, you've had a market that

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>corrected sort of gradually as it went through this process,

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>rather than some of the prior events we've had where

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you had a really big, significant decline and then you

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of work your way back. And I think that

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>was the market's expectation that this day would come at

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.799
<v Speaker 1>some point, So it was a step by step, day

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>by day adjustment. Because we sit here today, the critical

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>element will be if this is a five day window,

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>do we start to get ships and commodities and oil

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>flowing through the Strait in the next five days. The

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>timing sets up interestingly. As I look at it, you know,

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 1>this is something that could be contained to first quarter

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>in terms of any type of disruption that companies want

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>to blame this on. So if you get oil moving

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.679
<v Speaker 1>in the next five days, then I think we're right

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>back pretty quickly to a pretty normal environment where investors

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>are looking at second quarter, third quarter and beyond. If

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>you get no traffic through the straight over the five days,

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, you still have to be a little

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>bit careful here he.

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Did the bond market tell the president what to do?

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, at a seismic shift in bonds, the bond

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>market shifted.

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm sorry, bonds lead stocks absolutely. Bond market

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>a powerful player here. If you want to call it

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the bond vigilantes, you could. This is a very strong

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>message the bond market was sending and saying something needs

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>to happen and soon. Now we've had commentary before that

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>indicated that perhaps we were towards the end of the conflict,

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and so again for me, it's a one very metric.

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I look here on Bloomberg at ecan and look at

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>the traffic through the strait, and hopefully over the next

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>few days and weeks we'll start to see some numbers

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>sticking up there.

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 4>I guess if you're the Fed here, inflation was something

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 4>that probably had your attention a little bit more than

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 4>expected the last meaning maybe this suggests that there may

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 4>be a little easing on that front, a little bit

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 4>on the at least on the energy sign.

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's right again, especially if traffic starts

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>flowing through the strait, then yes, you get alleviation and

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>oil prices that they're seeing here this morning. That alleviates

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>some of the stress in terms of commodities across the board,

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>not just oil but other commodities as well, and the

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>pass through effect that puts the FED in a much

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>better spot. I hesitate to say that we'd get back

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>to normal right away, but I think pretty quickly we

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>can get back to normal in terms of balanced outlook,

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>with a bias towards a cut later in the year.

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>If you get a weak employment print. Our view had

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 1>always been that you will get a weak employment print

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 1>at some point. It might be a blip and that'll

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>be what gives the FED the catalyst to respond.

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for our first view of the morning, Robert Tetter,

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I greatly appreciate ahead of investment policy and strategy. Silvercrest

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Asset Management, Paul I just did a fancy chart off

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 2>dal Jones industrial average futures. It's incredibly elegant chart. We

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 2>are down in the gloom of perfect two standard deviations

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and we've bounced right up to my key middle term

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 2>moving average line.

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 3>We have a long way to go on the Dow

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 3>to get back to normal.

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 4>By seeing the Dow up a thousand, you don't see

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 4>that every day. So again, market's moving on, trying to

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 4>digest what this means in the next several days, of

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 4>what it means over the next several weeks.

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 3>So stay on it.

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Perfect timing to speak with Henrietta, Trey's co founder Veda Partners,

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 2>just wonderful on the pulse of Washington. Henrietta, who did

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the President listen to? Who did he take counsel from

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>to make this reversal in policy?

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 6>Well, you can really pick your target. It could be

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 6>the immigration polling data, It could be the fact that

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.119
<v Speaker 6>Congress is not going to pass this two hundred billion

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 6>dollars supplemental spending requests for many months now. It could

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 6>be the prices that are increasing nationwide. It could be

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 6>the fact that you can't you know online the Jones

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 6>Act and expected to offset closure of the straight up

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 6>Woor moves. But the economic data sets going into a

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 6>INTRM election cycle are a problem that you know, the

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 6>president created and he has to fix. There's no interplay

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.159
<v Speaker 6>with Congress here, so it makes sense that he be

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 6>the executor sort of implementing change and winding things back

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 6>as becomes completely untenable for the American Republic to support

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 6>him going into metroal elections.

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 2>But you go right to where I wanted to go next.

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Who is the interplay with his an inner circle? Who

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>is he talking to within his inner circle or is

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 2>this a president alone?

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 6>I think it's got to be an expansive set on everybody,

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 6>from the fundraisers and the donors, to the political campaigns,

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 6>the down ballot Democrats excuse me, Republicans, as well as

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 6>his own cabinet that is continuing to see polling data

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 6>come in over and over and over again saying that

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 6>the American public does not support the war. You might

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 6>have ninety four percent of the magabase, but you've lost everybody,

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 6>including a huge majority of independence. So when you look

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 6>at those data sets, it doesn't matter who enters the room.

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 6>If it's your energy secretary, your transportation secretary, your secretary

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 6>of defense, all those people are getting negative feedback from

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 6>the Pentagon to state Department
