Speaker 2: and thirty industries worldwide. They often also cover stuff like

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: the bond market. I our Jersey Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: interest rate strategist joins us. Now, the two day move

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: that we've seen in the back end is tremendous.

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: What happened?

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think most of this is a liquidity issue.

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 4: So if you look at dealer balance sheets, they're stuffed

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 4: with bonds, and you know, given that the long end

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 4: has a lot of duration risk and market risk and

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 4: you have to hold a lot of capital against those trades,

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 4: it seemed like there was just you know, there was

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 4: some outflows and people trying to sell that long end

22
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 4: paper and the and the dealer community just couldn't absorb it.

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 4: You know, we've had this disintermediation where high frequency traders

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 4: and some non dealer actors have tried to act more

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 4: or less like dealers, but they don't step in front

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: of a train like we had yesterday. So I think

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: that's one of the reasons why you had this massive volatility.

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: And look, yes it was a very big move in

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 4: the thirty year it was the ninth largest daily range

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: so high to low in terms of the treasuries in

31
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: the last twenty five years, So definitely a big move,

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 4: but not like unprecedentedly big, right, It wasn't like a

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 4: thing that we've never seen in our lifetime.

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 5: But at the same time, like it does.

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 4: Bring up the fear and the worry that a lot

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: of the market structure changes that occurred a decade ago

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 4: with Basil three and with some of the Dodd Frank regulations.

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: The issue with all of them is that they make

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: the institutions like the large bank safe and sound at

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: the expense at sometimes of balance sheet elasticity and therefore

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: market liquidity. And that's what I think was a big

42
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: reason why you saw such dramatic moves yesterday and probably

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: a bit of the follow on today.

44
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 6: That's kind of where I want to go to. I

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 6: read liquidity in the marketplace. I mean, I remember my

46
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 6: first dad, Solomon Brothers. They walked me out onto the

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 6: massive trading floor and it was literally row after row

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 6: after row of government bond traders. That's all they did.

49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 6: And that's liquidity to me? Is that still there at all?

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 4: It's not not to the same extent that it was.

51
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: And certainly even when I was on you know, working

52
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: for one of the primary dealers, you know, they had

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: shrunk their footprint in terms of what they were trying

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: to do in terms of taking risk. Right, So you know,

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 4: dealers are trying to match trades, match orders, all of

56
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: those things, and and one of two things has to

57
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: happen if you're just trying to have the market deal

58
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: with you know, client client, a dealer with a client

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: type of trades, and that's what you have to widen

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: bid offer because and if you can't, if you can't

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: inventory to sell, which is what a lot of bond

62
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: dealers have done, particularly in the corporate bond market and

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: some of the structure products markets, but in the treasury market.

64
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 5: That's true to some extent as well.

65
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: You need more balance sheet to be able to do that,

66
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 4: so that means you have to hold more equity, and

67
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: liquidity can be very fickle. So everything looks great until

68
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: you have just a certain amount of risk that's trying

69
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 4: to be laid off at one moment, and that's when

70
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: you get these massive moves. There's a simple fix, at

71
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: least temporarily, and that would be to exempt treasuries from

72
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: the supplementary laverage ratio of the large banks, because most

73
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: of the large banks have dealer arms. And by exempting

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: the treasuries from the SLR, which would is a benefit

75
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: of the government, right, it would be in the government's

76
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: interest to do this. You would you would increase liquidity

77
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: across most of the fixed income world, but treasuries in particular, obviously,

78
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: because because you can now own more treasuries without having

79
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: to worry about this extra capital that you have to

80
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: hold against them.

81
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: Such a good point. Here is my insanely smart question.

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: Why were there so many sellers yesterday?

83
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: Yeah?

84
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: I think there were a couple of things going on.

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: I mean, tariffs are a big one, right, There's people

86
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: who are worried that, given that about a third of

87
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 4: the treasury market is held by foreigners, that with less

88
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: dollars leaving the US, it'd be less demand from foreign entities. Now,

89
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: in aggregate, foreigners haven't been net buyers of treasuries, but

90
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: private investors have been very large buyers of US treasuries.

91
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: Central banks have been shedding their treasuries while while private

92
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 4: buyers have been buying, have been purchasing. And why well,

93
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: if you were an insurer who ensures, you know, oil

94
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: on a ship, you have to own some treasuries or

95
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 4: some other US assets because you have a dollar liability.

96
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 5: That's the oil that's on that ship.

97
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 4: Now, what happens if that oil winds up being dominated

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: in another currency for that transaction, you'll hedge it, have

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: to hedge it using that other currency. So I think

100
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: there's there is this little bit of a fear that

101
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 4: the US dollar, because of everything that's going on, might

102
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: lose some of its reserve currency status. Now not gonna

103
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: happen overnight, it's not going to be you know, something

104
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 4: that's going to happen within the next year even but

105
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 4: over time there could be alternatives that crop up. The

106
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: The issue with I think the dollar story and and

107
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: look au Jhild Freeman, my colleague and the leader of

108
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: our of our FX strategy team at here at Bloomberg Intelligence.

109
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: She's the expert on this by far.

110
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: But the way that I view it is that the

111
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: that the dollar over time, you know, has to can

112
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 4: lose its status against maybe the euro, uh, you know,

113
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 4: maybe there's more remimbee trades. The problem with all of

114
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: those things is that you have to have very stable currencies,

115
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: and you have to have enough debt for people to

116
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: be able to or assets anyway for people to be

117
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: able to purchase them in the open market or otherwise

118
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: you can't be a proper reserve currency the way that

119
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 4: Sterling was for a long time.

120
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 5: The dollar has been since World War Two.

121
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,240

Speaker 3: We'll joining us in studio.

128
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: He flew all the way here just to have this

129
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: conversation as Chris Wantling, CEO and chief market strategist of

130
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: Longview Economic. Chris, there's lots of questions to get into,

131
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,559
Speaker 2: but let's just pick up on what I was talking

132
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: about and the worries that the dollar could lose its

133
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: status as a safe pave in currency, as a world

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: reserve currency. How real could that be in your world?

135
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, clearly it's being chipped away at

136
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 7: the edges with with the latest policy announcement with the terrorists.

137
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 5: But I wouldn't want to overpin a one day move.

138
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 7: I mean looks to me more like maybe there's some

139
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 7: liquidation force liquidation for some sort of reasons, some sort

140
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 7: of fund's blown up. There's been a lot of volativity.

141
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 7: If you think about S and P moving eight percent

142
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 7: in one day. There all sorts of things happening in

143
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 7: portfolios yesterday. So yeah, I mean, I think the bigger

144
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 7: picture is US exceptionalism was a well accepted theme at

145
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 7: the end of last year, and now it's being chipped

146
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 7: away at quite heavily by the sort of policy announcements

147
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 7: we see, particularly what we saw last Wednesday.

148
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 6: So what does that mean for maybe your economic growth? Forecast.

149
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 6: I mean, both for the USA and globally, there's a

150
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 6: lot of folks we're seeing bringing their estimates down for

151
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 6: GDP growth and maybe even taking their inflation estimates up.

152
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 7: What have you been doing well? I mean, we've been

153
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 7: talking about the side of a mid cycle slowdown for

154
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 7: the last few months, because I think Trump's initial policy

155
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 7: agenda is negative for growth, but it does get better

156
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 7: later on in the years. You get maybe some tax

157
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 7: cuts into next year and some deregulation and so on.

158
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 7: So I actually think the market's almost the sort of

159
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 7: fear has gone too far. It's as if you know,

160
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 7: the price has driven the fear to be on where

161
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 7: it should be in terms of recession calls and that

162
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 7: sort of stuff. There's a lot of there is a

163
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 7: lot that's good about the US economy. There's a lot

164
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 7: of the private sector that's healthy. But you know, to

165
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 7: answer your question, yeah, I mean, I don't think there's

166
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 7: going to be a lot of growth in the in

167
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 7: the sort of middle of this year.

168
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: So what do you do on a day like today?

169
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: Is this a day to sell into the reality you

170
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: want to sell the rips here?

171
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 7: No, I think there's a day to buy so, I

172
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 7: mean depends on your time frame, sure, But tactically we

173
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 7: started buying this morning.

174
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: I wish we'd.

175
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 7: Started doing it yesterday, frankly, but I think I think

176
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 7: there's you know, if you look, you know, when do

177
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 7: you want to buy on a tactical basis in this market,

178
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 7: you want to buy when everyone's panicky and fearful. And

179
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 7: that was yesterday. That was a sense of a liquidation event.

180
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 7: The market had been selling off for almost two months.

181
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 7: It was twenty percent lower. I mean that's quite a move, ye,

182
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 7: twenty percent lower prices in a small recession. I don't

183
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 7: think it's going to be a recession. And I think

184
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 7: we've we've had We've had the sort of shock of Wednesday,

185
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 7: and now we're into the sort of nip and tuck

186
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 7: of negotiation and sort of ebb and flow. I mean,

187
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 7: some news will be better.

188
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 5: So be worse.

189
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 7: So I don't think it's the end of the economic

190
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 7: workd for America.

191
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 5: It's not good. I wouldn't.

192
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 7: I wouldn't think it's a I don't think it's a

193
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 7: great policy, but it's not the end of growth. It's

194
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 7: not the end of the S and P five hundred

195
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 7: and so on.

196
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 5: What were you buying or what are you buying?

197
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 6: Is it some of the tech names that have been

198
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 6: such the leaders of this marketplace, or is it maybe

199
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 6: more value.

200
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 7: I think if you're a trader, you buy the tech

201
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 7: names because what went down the hardest bounce is the hardest.

202
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 7: But I think if you an investor, you buy the

203
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 7: cyclical stuff in the market because the shape of global

204
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 7: growth is changing going forwards on a six to eighteen

205
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 7: twenty four month view, do you need.

206
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: To do it in a nationalistic way in that you

207
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: want to buy companies that are exposed to the country

208
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: in which they actually operate, Like, is that going to

209
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: be the way to think about things going forward?

210
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 7: Maybe there's a bit of that, But I think I

211
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 7: think what you know, what the shape of global growth

212
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 7: is changing, and that we're I think we can get

213
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 7: the Western consumer waking up. We've had a very weird

214
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 7: post pandemic world.

215
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: They were waking up without we're Honestly, I.

216
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 7: Don't know what you guys are doing, but no, I

217
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 7: mean in terms of so if you look look at

218
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 7: a lot of the Western economies, including the US, you know,

219
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 7: it's really a lot of it's really struggled for two

220
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 7: or three years. Even parts of the US think of

221
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 7: a housing activity.

222
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 5: It's on the floor. I mean, it's terrible.

223
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 7: We need low interest rates and that's what we're going

224
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 7: to get out of this, and low interest rates monetary

225
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 7: policy is going to stimulate Western consumers I think to

226
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 7: really get going. I'll give you one start. There's thirty

227
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 7: five trillion dollars for housing equity in US household balance

228
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 7: sheets and then a mortgage debt and that was like

229
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 7: ten trillion fifteen years ago. There is a ton of

230
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 7: money and wealth waiting to be tapped. You just need

231
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 7: the right macro environment, and I think we're moving towards that.

232
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 7: It's a similar store in the UK, similar store in

233
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 7: Southern Europe, and parts of Europe as well as in

234
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 7: Northern Europe are doing some good things.

235
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 6: Thirty seconds left, you mentioned Europe that had been a

236
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 6: very nice place to start the year. Related to the

237
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 6: US S and P five hundred, Is that still a

238
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 6: play for you?

239
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 7: I think it's still a play for US. As always,

240
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,599
Speaker 7: at the end of sell offs, everything gets sold. It's indiscriminate,

241
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 7: but yeah, I like I think there's a lot going

242
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 7: for Germany's changing southern Europe looks terrific. They've been deleveraging

243
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 7: for fifteen years. We're getting low interest rates, you getting

244
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 7: a defense fund. It's a long old list of a

245
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 7: positive factors, cyclical and structural about Europe. So what Trump's

246
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 7: done is is woken the West of the world up

247
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 7: to get on with groin own economies.

248
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess so.

249
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 6: I mean, as we saw that out of Germany, you know,

250
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 6: maybe close to a trillion dollars of spending on defense

251
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 6: and infrastructure. So we'll see how that plays out for

252
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 6: across Europe. Chris, thanks so much for joining us.

Speaker 3: Also CEO of Opus Advice.

268
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: First, Nancy, I appreciate that you're going to be a

269
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: long term investor on this, but just with our decades

270
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: of experience here, when we take a look at a

271
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: market move like this after oversold conditions, does this bounce

272
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: last for a while.

273
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 8: Well, it's hard to predict, obviously, but I do expect

274
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 8: a great deal of turbulence. I mean, there's no doubt

275
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 8: that this was somewhat expected, maybe not to the degree

276
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 8: that it occurred. You know, the first quarter was like

277
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 8: feast and famine, you know, in the first half of

278
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 8: the first quarter was phenomenal, and then the second half

279
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 8: just took it all back. So the magnificent seven stocks

280
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 8: that had propelled the market prior is are the same

281
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 8: stocks that dragged it down. However, like you said, longer term,

282
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 8: I still feel that we should be bullish and in

283
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 8: these turbulent times, although it was much more severe than expected,

284
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 8: we should really look at this as much more of

285
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 8: an opportunity because uptimes last a lot longer than downtimes,

286
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 8: and we just lose sight of that when things are

287
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 8: so scary like they happened in the last few days.

288
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 6: So how does one reposition nancy if at all? Do

289
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 6: you just kind of stay the course with your portfolio allocation?

290
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 6: Do you try to maybe buy some things that were

291
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 6: now more attractive? Have you kind of altered your view

292
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,479
Speaker 6: if at all?

293
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 8: Well, clearly, staying the course or time in the market

294
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 8: has always been trying to time the market, because we

295
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 8: have no idea if we've hit bottom or not, and

296
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 8: if so, you know, how do you time that? There's

297
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 8: no way to do that. However, if you do have

298
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 8: longer term goals and some excess cash that is available

299
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 8: that you are willing to invest in the longer term,

300
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 8: there's such an opportunity. I mean, the sectors that have

301
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 8: taken the biggest beatings are financials and technology, so that's

302
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 8: certainly an opportunity. And we know that ultimately those things

303
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 8: will come back, just don't know when. But I think

304
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 8: the biggest message is that in the near term there

305
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 8: will be significant volatility.

306
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: That's to be sure.

307
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: The idea though that we go back to what we

308
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: knew before.

309
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: Is this time different?

310
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: I mean, is the US exceptionalism the Russian to US

311
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: assets we've seen over the last decade.

312
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: What's your level of conviction that that still holds.

313
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 8: You know, I can't claim to be an expert on

314
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 8: politics or economic policy, but I do know, having been

315
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 8: around a very long time, is that history keeps repeating

316
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 8: itself with the markets. You know, the underlying variables may

317
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 8: be very different time, but ultimately the math rules because

318
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 8: that's how markets work. And so we may have a

319
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 8: lot of emotion due to more information and a lot

320
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 8: of propaganda both you know, positive and negative coming at us,

321
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 8: but ultimately things level out and revert to the mean,

322
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 8: because the math will always rule in the end. And

323
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 8: that's what when you're buying a stock in the market,

324
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 8: you're buying the balance sheet of that company. So corporate

325
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 8: earnings are important and corporate profit and economic profit fundamentals

326
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 8: are always going to be the determinants in the end,

327
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 8: and those right now are actually quite solid.

328
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 5: Now.

329
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 8: Canteriffs have a negative impact? Absolutely so?

330
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 6: Nancy, how does fixed income work into your outlook these days?

331
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 8: Well, if you've gotten into fixed income, in the last

332
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 8: few months. You're feeling pretty good because that has been

333
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 8: a very big stabilized in the last few weeks, where

334
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 8: with all the turbulence, and I think fixed income prospects

335
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 8: look pretty good. Just watch the duration and go for

336
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 8: investment grade. But it's very likely that the Fed will

337
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 8: cut rates again. We just don't know when and how much,

338
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 8: but probably at least a couple of times this year.

339
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 8: And I think it's certainly an opportunity with stabilization and

340
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 8: diversification of a portfolio at this time.

341
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,560

00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's go now to the effect of President

350
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: Trump's policy on say green energy transition.

351
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: Today at three o'clock he's supposed to sign.

352
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: Some executive orders to push forward coal production here in

353
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: the US. Want to go to David FLACKL Bloomberg any

354
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: F lead US policy analyst. Any F is originally known

355
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: as New Energy Finance or the team within Bloomberg that

356
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: tracks and analyzes the energy transition. What do you make

357
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: of this executive order coming today at three o'clock on

358
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: coal and what does it mean for the broader transition?

359
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 9: Well, the executive order is interesting because this is sort

360
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 9: of a replay of what Trump tried to do in

361
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 9: his first term.

362
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 5: Right.

363
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 9: He had previously talked about increasing payments to you or

364
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 9: using emergency powers for preserving existing coal plants, maybe bringing

365
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 9: old ones back online, and as we can see from

366
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 9: the power generation data, that didn't really work out. Coal

367
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 9: is now fifteen percent of generation in the US per year,

368
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 9: down from considerably higher levels before. So there's a lot

369
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 9: of different moving parts to this. You might see more

370
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 9: say coal exports, more long term gathering of coal leases,

371
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 9: which have been sort of moving back and forth from

372
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 9: Obama to Trump one, to Biden and out of Trump two.

373
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 9: But in general it's hard to say that this will

374
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 9: be a huge boon to coal build out or restoration,

375
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 9: especially when you have tariffs weighing on any kind of

376
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 9: big capital project.

377
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 6: All right, so talk about, you know, the energy ecosystem.

378
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 6: Where do we get stuff for the energy ecosystem, whether

379
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 6: it's fossil fuels, clean energy, where do we get the

380
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 6: equipment and is that something that is going to be

381
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 6: impacted by these tariffs very heavily.

382
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 9: Even for fossil fuels, which are often a very domestically

383
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 9: extracted resource, there's reliance on steel, aluminum, specialized equipment that's important,

384
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 9: which is why you saw the Dallas Fed register such

385
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 9: negative opinions about the tariffs coming in generally, more broadly

386
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 9: in terms of say solar equipment that mostly comes from

387
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 9: Southeast Asia, because we've had batteries, we've had tariffs in

388
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 9: China for a long time. Batteries themselves tend to come

389
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 9: from China. Electric vehicles or order from a variety of places,

390
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 9: but especially you know, it's very domestic, with the fair

391
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 9: amount of Canada and Mexico in there. And lastly, if

392
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 9: you're thinking about say offshore wind, that's pretty dependent on Europe.

393
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 9: The only thing that's really effectively on shore and minimally

394
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 9: dependent on trade is onshore wind in the US.

395
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: What is the future of offshore wind in the US.

396
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if we're talking about ramping up coal and

397
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: sort of there's zero love from the administration on offshore wind.

398
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: Have we seen sort of I don't know, leases or

399
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: any contracts be broken or do you feel like companies

400
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: that are still are still committed.

401
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: To the longer term world of offshore wind.

402
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 9: Well, I mean what the offshore win companies will tell you.

403
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 9: This is a multi year, long term process of building

404
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 9: that's beyond any one administration. We have seen one lease

405
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 9: be canceled by the federal government for an ongoing project,

406
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 9: but generally speaking, we haven't seen a lot more movement

407
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 9: for things that have already been permitted and leased. Now

408
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 9: that's important because the federal government has a lot of

409
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 9: leverage over that process. We're not seeing a lot more

410
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 9: being added to the pipeline. But the real issue is

411
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 9: going to come in the form of costs, inflation, and

412
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 9: also potentially interest rates. We saw a major slowan offshore

413
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 9: win under Biden, which is a very supportive administration, simply

414
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 9: because the cost of inputs went up and as inflation

415
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 9: went up, the FED height rates and wind is a

416
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 9: very large, capital intensive project category and especially sunsitive to

417
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 9: those kinds of things. So if the terrorists lead to

418
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 9: those broader impacts, we might see some fairly negative results

419
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 9: for even the offshore wind projects that are already allowed

420
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 9: to go forward.

421
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 6: Derek, I think even folks that are you know, that

422
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 6: question the value of the economic value of tariffs in general,

423
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 6: they kind of recognize that some of this strategically important

424
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 6: stuff maybe that we learned was strategically important from the

425
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 6: pandemic when the trade you know, the cycles were all disrupted,

426
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 6: the trade routes were disrupted. That makes some sense. Is

427
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 6: a clean energy did they have a focus on bringing

428
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 6: this stuff on shore as much as possible.

429
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 9: There's been a lot of discussion about across multiple administrations.

430
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 9: The Bide administration was in favor of that. The Trump

431
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 9: administration is in favor of on joining manufacturing generally and

432
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 9: of energy security independence, even dominance, as they like to

433
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 9: say generally. But that's a hard thing to achieve with

434
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 9: tariffs alone. Ultimately, a lot of the solar factories, battery factories,

435
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 9: ev factories that are coming up in the US are

436
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 9: dependent on imports, whether those are imports of upstream components

437
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 9: or the manufacturing equipment needed to make the final products

438
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 9: solar panels and batteries themselves, and right now we're seeing

439
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 9: costs go up on those across the board. Unless you

440
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 9: have more reliable revenue streams like tax credits, for example,

441
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 9: it's kind of hard to imagine new decisions to build

442
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 9: that stuff out. Even things that are already being built

443
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 9: are facing uncertainty not only from the Trump tariffs, from

444
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 9: other investigations into tariffs being run at the Department of

445
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 9: Commerce and the US Trade Representative, but also on the

446
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 9: fate of those tax credits, which is going to help

447
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 9: guarantee their revenues in the long term.

448
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a great point which leads us to the IRA,

449
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: the Inflation Reduction Act, which I mean, clearly President Trump

450
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 2: hates that thing, but there is a lot of value

451
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: in it through the tax credits and subsidies for companies

452
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: that supposedly he is a fan of the oil industry,

453
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: for example. When do you think we're going to know

454
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: the fate of the IRA and those tax credits.

455
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 9: That's a great question, and I've been wondering at myself. Obviously,

456
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 9: we're seeing a lot of wrangling between the House and

457
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 9: Senate today about the top lights on their big budget

458
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 9: bill they're going to try and pass by the end

459
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 9: of the year. Obviously, the end of the year is

460
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 9: when individual tax rates go up, and so that's one

461
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 9: of the big forcing functions. You also are seeing the

462
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 9: X state the debt ceiling occurring somewhere between July and

463
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 9: maybe September, and that's going to be a point where

464
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 9: there's going to be a lot of pressure to pass

465
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 9: a big budget package, raise the debt ceiling, and probably

466
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 9: also get some of this tax material done.

467
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 5: But we've seen a lot of deadlines blown.

468
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 9: Already for when we were allegedly going to get top

469
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 9: line packages, which are a preconditioned to figure out what's

470
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 9: going to happen to what tax credit, and we don't

471
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 9: even know that yet at this point. We don't even

472
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 9: know if they're going to use this particular budget gmmit

473
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 9: called current Policy, which would really reduce the pressures to

474
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 9: cut more. And as they're trying to use that, we're

475
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 9: seeing a lot of blowback from physical conservatives in both

476
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 9: that state but especially in the House.

477
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 5: And so we'll see, all.

478
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 6: Right, Derek, I think a lot of folks in the

479
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 6: marketplace are saying we'll see we don't sure. We're not

480
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 6: sure what's going to happen here.

481
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: So how long can you put off a business decision

482
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 2: with we'll see yes exactly.

483
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 6: Derek Flakel, a lead US policy analyst for b n EF,

484
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 6: really a smart guy. So I was shocked to find

485
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 6: that he went to the University of North Carolina.

486
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 4: Right.

487
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 6: Every once in a while, somebody will pop out of

488
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 6: that system and surprise you to the positive side. So,

489
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 6: but I would think that you know, these tariffs are

490
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 6: going to be it doesn't feel like anybody, any company.

491
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 5: Can really escape the impact.

492
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 6: I mean because so many countries, they are so broad based,

493
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 6: at least at this point.

494
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: And then also just makes me wonder how the contractors

495
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: are are already set up with your suppliers, right, and

496
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: who bears that commodity cost at the end of the day,

497
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: and if it's going to be a solar company or

498
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: a wind company.

499
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 3: That's really rough.

500
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: We saw that with offshore Wind during COVID and that

501
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: supply chain crunch, and that's basically what turned the tables

502
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: against offshore wind economically.
