0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Deutsche Bank for David Folkritz Lando set in the intellectual

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>structure on equities and asset allocation. Chief global strategist spin

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>from Chauda joins us this morning.

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>With dby Binkie.

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>You nailed the bullmarket. Took a while to happen, the

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Chada market. The Chada bullmarket took a while to happen,

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 2>and with a vengeance, you nailed this. And when we

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 2>were talking going to go in live here, you may

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 2>clear ten percent of the people have participated in ninety

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 2>percent of the people have been left behind. What's the

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>next leg look like for ninety percent of the people

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 2>that have missed this October market?

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so, I mean for them, you know, And the

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 3>distinction that I was drawing was, you know, we've had

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 3>to move up inequity positioning. So we have a simple

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 3>sort of Z score plus minus one band and you know,

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 3>we were at the bottom last year. That was the

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 3>reason for the call for a positioning squeeze. Positioning today

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 3>is sitting in the middle of the band. The entire

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 3>move in positioning up has come really from systematic strategies

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 3>as VOLL has come down from extremely elevated levels to

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 3>still very elevated levels outside I would say, you know,

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 3>especially driven by really rates VOLL discretionary investors, which you know,

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.839
<v Speaker 3>in terms of assets under management or I would say

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>eight to one in terms of relative size to systematic strategies.

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Their positioning has been what I would describe as firmly

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 3>underweight for the last year in you know, a very narrow.

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Can I translate firmly underweight just.

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 3>So the participation has been you know, minimal to zero

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 3>to non existing night this week, what we are seeing

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 3>is basically some move up in what we put in

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 3>our positioning measures, but it's really a sentiment indicator, and

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 3>that's the aaii bullbear spread and that's moved up for

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 3>the first time. Whether or not that actually translates into

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 3>increased allocations we have to wait and see.

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 4>The call from here. From where we are at about

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 4>forty three hundred at of forty five, just written your

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 4>research last night, from the last week or so, it

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 4>feels like it's all about earnings. Can you pair this

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.639
<v Speaker 4>view about earnings with what's happening on the other side

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.359
<v Speaker 4>of the research team, with Mattlasli and Deutsche Bank ultimately

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 4>looking for a recession. Can you pay the two views

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 4>at the moment of Binki.

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, So that's really easy because they are the same view.

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 3>The view so my earnings numbers te off of our

0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 3>house economics forecast, but with a small twist, I would say,

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 3>remember that the S and P five hundred gets thirty

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 3>to forty percent of its earnings from the rest.

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 5>Of the world.

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 3>So I have you know, a sales weighted global GDP

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 3>measure obviously for US equities, you know, the US economy

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 3>matters a lot. We have a framework. I'm going to

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 3>leave that aside for a second. That's exactly what it is.

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.119
<v Speaker 3>But it teas off of basically our house economics forecast.

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 3>So it's really a translation issue if you want. It

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 3>embodies a recession. In Q four and Q one, the

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 3>things to note about it are that the forecast is

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 3>for a pretty mild recession.

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Number two.

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, we do have growth happening until then, and

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 3>that means that the recession kicks in form a higher

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 3>level in terms of earnings. And you know, what I

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 3>would emphasize is that the equity market, when it looks

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 3>at aggregate earnings like the S and P five hundred earnings,

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 3>tends to look year and year and in year, you know,

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 3>we are still negative in terms of growth. It's slightly

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 3>less negative than you know, the prior quarter, but it's

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 3>still negative. But remember that, you know, when we look

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 3>at all macro series, we look quarter on quarter, which

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 3>in you know, equities, we call sequential growth, and our

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 3>estimate of sequential growth in S and P five hundred

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 3>earnings in Q one on a seasonally adjusted basis is

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 3>a solid five percent. And I would emphasize that's not annualized.

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 6>Markets are not the economy, and you have to just

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 6>keep repeating that markets are not the economy. Markets. John

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 6>was mentioning that earlier, and I am wondering whether this

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 6>could be the start of a bull market, even though

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 6>the US has not yet had a full blown recession.

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 3>So so you know, there's two sort of elements about

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 3>the recession that I would emphasize.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 1>This is arguably the.

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Most well telegraphed recession. Recessions, in my view, in terms

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 3>of their impact on financial markets, are not really about

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, a couple of quarters of negative growth where

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 3>everybody agrees that it's modest and temporary because the market's

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 3>going to look through that. The market's meant to look

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 3>through that. You know, if you listen to corporates on

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 3>earnings calls, we're at the point where we've been talking

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 3>about recessions for at least three the impending recession basically

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 3>for at least three quarters, and so you know, corporates

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 3>are you know, already responding. And the idea I would

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 3>put on the table is that, you know, it's very

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:39.040
<v Speaker 3>possible that the recession slow down. Part of that has

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 3>already you know, been brought forward if you want. If

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 3>a recession is very well anticipated, it's not very you know,

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 3>the little shock value to make you risk averse. So

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 3>there will be some negative impacts, but you know a

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 3>lot of the multipliers come really from a risk aversion,

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 3>and it's you know the concept of anticipated risk version.

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, an anticipated shock is not a shock.

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 6>To tie this all together and to and where we began,

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 6>do you think that we are seeing durable signs of

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 6>a broadening out.

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 3>I think that it gets pretty choppy from here because

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.919
<v Speaker 3>the positioning squeeze that I spoke about at the beginning,

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 3>that's mostly basically been done. I mean, as you you know,

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 3>as Tom mentioned a vix at fourteen and thirteen, you know,

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 3>the biggest driver of systematic strategies is decline involved and

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 3>we are not looking for a you know, vault to

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 3>really go down from here. We're not really looking for

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 3>discretionary investors to raise their positioning because as you said earlier,

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.119
<v Speaker 3>there is this very long list of concerns that they're

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 3>focused on in on and I don't think the resolution

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 3>of those is easy. So we're going to continue to

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 3>have a tugger war. But the demand supply, the positioning

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.039
<v Speaker 3>squeeze is done, but the demand supply balance still looks,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, constructive. So I would say a grind higher

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 3>forty five hundred per year, it should be pretty sharp.

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Soft landing will easily give you five thousand. Yeah, we've

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 3>said that before, we published that before.

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Think he's so measured out to take here. Last year,

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 4>same time?

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 5>Great?

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this year, same time you had this year because.

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>You make the call, but the exxies you never know.

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 4>The life of a strategist. Think you just quickly Yeah?

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Does it feel a whole lot better when things are

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 4>going right? Or do you get nervous that things are

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 4>a bad to go wrong? Are you constantly paranoid? How

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 4>do you think about it?

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 5>Constantly paranoid?

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 3>You're asking me this on air?

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 4>Approach to that. Last year was tough. I've talked about

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 4>that with you many times. This year is better. You know,

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 4>how do you approach things when you're right.

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 3>The same way as you approach them when you're wrong.

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 3>You ask yourself, what have you got right? And I

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 3>know you're right for the right reason, and what have

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 3>you got wrong? And you were just your review accordingly, What.

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Was the lesson from last year that helped you with

0:07:58.760 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 4>this year?

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 3>The lesson from last year was a confirmation of my

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 3>view earlier in the year that we would get a

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 3>massive amount of anxiety from the FED. But the anxiety

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 3>was of their own creation because they decided, for a

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 3>variety of reasons to wait a long time. So when

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 3>I listened to the fo mc now I hear calm.

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, and that that really reaffirms my view that

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 3>a lot of their nervousness, yes about inflation, still about inflation,

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 3>but you know they were at zero to start the year.

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 3>We are now at five and and and so there's

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 3>a lot less reason to be anxious.

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Excuse to get out of the triple every doll case.

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, first order, I think this was great, tons

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 4>of respect for you, but it always grayst catch out.

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Thank you out of the Deutsche Bank.

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I get the Jones joins us right now their fixed

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 2>income strategy. And I'm going to go to someone we

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 2>were talking about with your exquisite ability to play piano,

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 2>which is Gershwin George, where he said life is a

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 2>lot like jazz boy, you better improvides. How do you

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>improvise in the bond market with the oddity of post

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 2>pandemic economics and the oddity of the ambiguity I.

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Should say almost about where we are right now.

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, I think that's really the challenge not

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 7>only strategists have, but also the FED is facing right

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 7>that how do they set policy in an environment that's

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 7>really very unfamiliar. The way we've been doing it is

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 7>simply either barbelling or laddering and not trying to play

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 7>every little up and down in the market. So if

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 7>you know you can stay short and try to roll

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 7>out and time it perfectly, but there's a lot of

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 7>reinvestment risk if you miss it because these moves are

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 7>so fast.

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Are you doing this with combining your work with Lizae Saunders.

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Are you doing it with the understanding there will be

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>a jump condition in the short end or even a

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 2>dramatic movement in the long end, or do you see

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 2>sort of stability out there as you barbell or.

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 7>Ladder We think in the bond market it'll be more stable.

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 7>We had huge volatility in the first half of the year,

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 7>and I think that was the market readjusting to FED

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 7>policy and all the surprises that we've had, and yet

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 7>we haven't gone anywhere right. We had all this volatility,

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 7>and yields pretty much from two years out are about

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 7>the same as they were at the beginning of the year.

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.959
<v Speaker 7>But we think second half should be somewhat more stable.

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 7>I mean, barring some sort of crazy financial market event

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 7>that seems to happen every six weeks. But barring that,

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 7>I think that we should have a fairly stable move here.

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 6>There's this sort of renegade theory out there right now

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 6>trying to justify perhaps some of the moves and some

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 6>of the resilience in the economy or else it's just true,

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 6>which is we've been talking about the lure of five

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 6>to five and a half percent on cash as a negative,

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 6>a sucking liquidity out of the market. But some people

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 6>say it's actually stimulative because all of a sudden you

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.679
<v Speaker 6>can get returns on your cash, which gives you more

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 6>money to go out and spend that much more. Which

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 6>is it?

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 7>I guess that's a tough question to answer. I think

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 7>the five percent, the higher yields are more punishment than reward,

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 7>right because the number of savers that are actually benefiting

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 7>from that are doing fine. But you have a whole

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 7>bunch of people who are companies and individuals trying to

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 7>borrow either get a mortgage a car loan, companies trying

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 7>to refinance at higher rates. I would say it's more

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 7>negative than positive.

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 6>It's negative in theory. But this is what I keep

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 6>hearing from people that nobody who's buying a home is

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 6>paying seven percent mortgage rate, everybody's getting some other mortgage rate.

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 6>Companies can get pretty low rates if they're a good company.

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 6>On average, they're high, but those companies that have to

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 6>pay through the nose aren't borrowing at those rates. So

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 6>this interest rate effect, the punishment isn't actually bleeding to

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 6>the economy, and the reward is actually driving even more investment.

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.200
<v Speaker 6>Is that an accurate way to understand the dynamic that's

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 6>been so confounding so far this year?

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 7>Well, I would say, and the credit conditions have been

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.559
<v Speaker 7>easier if you go to the capital markets, then you

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 7>know it would normally be under these circumstances. But if

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 7>you're a like I say, are you a low credit borrower,

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 7>those costs really are going up, and we're seeing a

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 7>lot of weakness at the low end of the credit spectrum.

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.079
<v Speaker 7>And I think it's just a matter of time. It's

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 7>hard to believe that we can have all this tightening

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 7>five hundred basis points and a very short period of time,

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 7>qt also at the same time and not have an

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 7>economic effect one year forward.

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Letdered or bar belled, whatever the blend is. Full faith

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.959
<v Speaker 2>and credit corporate, are you clipping a coupon or can

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 2>you actually manage and position for total return.

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 7>I think that the bulk of what you'll get will

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 7>come from the coupon, but you can position to get

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 7>some total return.

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Youre going to give me a double digit total return?

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 7>Not double dita? I think that I can't. I'm sorry

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 7>now I think eleven percent.

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, that was just folks, I'm busting chops with Kathy Jones.

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 2>That was a discussion from about ten, twelve, twenty years ago.

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>That was fun, wasn't it.

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 4>It was It was gott to give you a stamp.

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 4>It's a bolt off. What Lisa say is one set

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 4>of times in this country bulb of cash.

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I noticed that, Glad you bring that.

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 4>Up high sharing like a decade. That was also the stamp,

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 4>by the way, for the whole of last year. Two

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 4>from redfins. So one third lease it to your point.

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, they're bought in cash, and then the others are

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.839
<v Speaker 6>bought from developers straight up that are offering them much

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 6>lower rates, or they're refinancing existing or they're sort of

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 6>taking on other loans for lower Again, the point being,

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 6>the impulse isn't making its way into slowing the economy

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 6>in a material way, and this is the reason why

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.040
<v Speaker 6>people are wondering, why hasn't it been more painful?

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh, they band new homes because they old ones out

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 4>for sale exactly, They've got people in them with mortgages

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 4>at three percent. This housing market is totally distorted completely.

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 4>It's totally totally distorted it.

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I would suggest it's always been distorted in the pandemic

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 2>made it shockingly. I mean, the rent now is foury

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 2>three hundred something. Jonathan Miller Miller, it's nuts.

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 4>But said this, Tom, this is a big question to ask,

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.679
<v Speaker 4>and it's connected to monetary policy and built on what

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Least is talking about because it's so important. Are the

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 4>long and vailable lags longer, like thirty years long? Because

0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 4>mortgages three percent like thirty years long? And everyone did that?

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 4>I hope you did that. I didn't do that. I

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 4>wish I had done that. Using the term everyone loosely?

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:08.679
<v Speaker 4>Or are we just finding out this economy is way

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 4>more resilient, Kathy in that five percent doesn't get it done.

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think it's the long and variable legs are longer.

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 7>And you know, let's put housing aside and let's look

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 7>at all the other costs. That are going up, and

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 7>also the fact that we've had sub two percent growth

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 7>now for several quarters. Manufacturing sector is really very weak,

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 7>and we're starting to see the ism numbers on the

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 7>service side come down as well new orders. So I

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 7>think it's been longer because we had such a fiscal

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 7>and monetary policy response to the pandemic that it's taking

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 7>longer for it to work its way out. But it's

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 7>hard for me to believe again that that's not going

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 7>to happen over time. And I think that's that the

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 7>Feds whole hold on to high rates because if inflation

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 7>continues to come down, holding is tightening, and particularly with

0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 7>QT going out of this.

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 4>That's such a good point that's missed by so many people,

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 4>and I totally agree with you. You can keep the nominal

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 4>right study, but the real right shifts. That's the point,

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 4>right right, And.

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 7>Real rates are up, and if they stay up for

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 7>another year or so, that's going to have an impact

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 7>on the.

0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 2>A ten year real rate one point five four percent,

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I modeled out two point zero five percent, and sort

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 2>of before all this idiocy, do you people suggest we'll

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 2>see a ten year real rate that will migrate back

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to the sort of the moving averages of another time

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and place.

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 7>I think two percent might be a little bit on

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 7>the high side for a ten year, but we'd be

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 7>actually looking at tips right here and locking in some

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 7>of those really yields.

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 4>Interesting, Kathy, he's going to see Kathy John child swabble.

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>What we're going to do is talk to somebody who

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 2>has an immense respect for legal pros on this. Terry

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Haynes is founder of penjea policy with decades of duty

0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>on Capitol Hill.

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Terry, you know, I go to Law Fair like.

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Everybody else, because these guys are the adults in the room,

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and they say, wait for the document.

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>What are we waiting for?

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, we're waiting to see what the actual indictment says

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 8>and what the chargers actually are. You know, you and

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 8>John are absolutely right. You know, there's a lot of

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 8>dinner three sources to say, and you know, the former

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 8>president wasted no time not only in getting out there

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 8>and talking about it, but one thing I found significant

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 8>was the first fundraising email showed up at about a

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 8>half an hour after made that announcement, So you know,

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 8>there's clearly an attempt by him not only to frame

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 8>this thing, before the indictment whatever it is comes out

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.520
<v Speaker 8>as well as raised money, and you know it'd been

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 8>gin up as followers.

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Terry, My experience here goes as far as Perry Mason,

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe law and order.

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 1>So you're going to help us right now.

0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 2>To me, there's a massive distinguishing feature between state courts

0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 2>in New York or.

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Any other state for that matter, in a federal court anywhere.

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 2>In this case in Miami, what is the state court

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>versus federal court distinction for the former president.

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.399
<v Speaker 8>Well, it's a couple of things. One is the is

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 8>the sorts of offenses. I mean, there are things that

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 8>are that are exclusively federal offenses, and you have in

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 8>the in the Trump case, you have not only documents

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 8>but kind of also investigations about January sixth matters. A

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.399
<v Speaker 8>lot of the state court matters have to do with

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:38.880
<v Speaker 8>things like his business and whether whether his business records

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:43.480
<v Speaker 8>were on the up and up, the tax evasion matter

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:47.920
<v Speaker 8>that they went through in Manhattan, those sorts of things.

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 8>But also the also one of the cases, which is

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.399
<v Speaker 8>a Georgia case, possibly has to do with whether or

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.040
<v Speaker 8>not he interfered with Georgia state election law as a

0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.639
<v Speaker 8>result of the January sixth matter, asking Georgia officials to

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 8>find him votes that sort of thing. So the matter

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 8>really is kind of civil versus criminal, and it also

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 8>has to do with the degree to which the former

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 8>president can be punished, either by incarceration or fines or

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:20.679
<v Speaker 8>the like.

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.199
<v Speaker 6>Terry John picked up on the right point here, which is,

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.199
<v Speaker 6>how do the other Republican potential candidates really step up

0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 6>and respond to this. Do they embrace the sort of

0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 6>deep state conspiracy or do they say this just shows

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 6>he's not fit to run?

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 8>You know, the answer is, Lisa, is both. You know,

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.360
<v Speaker 8>they have to attack Trump head on. I think you'll

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:45.360
<v Speaker 8>see an intensification of what I call the pack swarm mentality,

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:50.959
<v Speaker 8>where the pack of these candidates all talk about Trump's

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 8>unfitness to run and how he's not the best person

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:57.719
<v Speaker 8>and why. And at the same time they hedge their

0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 8>bets a little bit by raising concerns about out about

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:05.400
<v Speaker 8>the justice system, and there are questions unresolved questions about

0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 8>not only whether or not you know, the potential indictment

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 8>here is different treatment. I mean, remember, Trump's not the

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 8>only person that's had took records home with him, that

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 8>includes his vice president that includes the sitting president potentially others.

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 8>But also there's kind of a broader historical question about

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:30.440
<v Speaker 8>how these laws were enforced, and you know, the president,

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 8>the President Trump is trying to make a case that

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 8>both there's different treatment here for him, as well as

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 8>a situation where these laws were never enforced in the

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 8>way that the Justice Department is proposing to enforce those laws.

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.320
<v Speaker 8>You know, those are both questions that the Justice Department

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 8>is going to have to answer as this case moves forward.

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.719
<v Speaker 6>Terry, you mentioned that the fundraising emails went out right

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 6>after the announcement by the former president. Does this type

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 6>of issue have the same resonance with voter that it

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 6>used to?

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:02.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 8>I think it has a residence. You noticed in the

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 8>Trump's statement, he's pushing the buttons about you know, you know,

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.200
<v Speaker 8>they talked about the Russia hopes and that was wrong.

0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.600
<v Speaker 8>They talked about this that was wrong, that this that

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 8>was wrong. Now this is the He refers to this

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 8>as the Box's hoax, so he's trying to gin that up.

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 8>What I will say on the primary battle is that

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 8>you know, forget about the national beauty contests. If you

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.440
<v Speaker 8>look at the early states, you've got Trump about forty

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 8>percent in the field about sixty percent. And I think

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:36.040
<v Speaker 8>that what happens is that a lot of these candidates

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:38.440
<v Speaker 8>really kind of combined to take Trump down and at

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.440
<v Speaker 8>the same time appropriate the policies and say, hey, look,

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 8>I'm your safer alternative.

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 4>Terry is so messy don in Washington, DC, as you know,

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 4>I just wonder how much pressure will build now on

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 4>House Republicans to push up their investigations into the sitting president.

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 4>How much pressure is going to be on them to

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 4>do that now?

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 8>Oh, I think there's no pressure on them. I think

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:02.120
<v Speaker 8>they put pressure on themselves to do that. Frankly, One

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.359
<v Speaker 8>thing I want to say here is that just because

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.919
<v Speaker 8>the Trumpet I think is less likely to become president

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 8>as a result of all this, doesn't mean that Biden's

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 8>more likely to become president. One reason for that is

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 8>that those investigations I think intensify and ramp up. The

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:21.239
<v Speaker 8>other reason is should an alternative to Trump emerge? And

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 8>we're really not going to know that for six months

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 8>or more. I mean, but if the Republican nominee isn't Trump,

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:32.200
<v Speaker 8>you know that person is better able and better capable

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 8>of putting Biden on the back foot on policies as

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.879
<v Speaker 8>well as his health and his age. So this doesn't

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 8>mean this isn't unalloyed good news for Biden by any means.

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 4>Terry Hines Panchee, Terry always appreciate it, said, thank you,

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 4>just fantastic.

0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Curry's going to come out with his version of

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:58.360
<v Speaker 2>full by randomness on oil goal out of commodity at

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Research at Gold and Sex. Jeff Curry, I say this

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:05.120
<v Speaker 2>with a men's respect for your bulletproof University of Chicago

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 2>microeconomics and econometrics. How did oil fool you by its

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:12.719
<v Speaker 2>randomness in the last twelve months?

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.199
<v Speaker 5>Well, I have to say, we have never been this

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:22.400
<v Speaker 5>wrong for this long without seeing evidence to change our views. Now,

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 5>obviously some of the upside has been taken away by

0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 5>recent events with you know, the sanctioned oil surprising to

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:35.920
<v Speaker 5>the upside, whether if it's Iran, Russia, Venezuela and more destocking,

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 5>But the core thesis still very much remains intact, and

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 5>I think one of the big drivers is you know,

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.479
<v Speaker 5>you've lost two hundred and fifty million barrels of paper

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 5>link in this market. We're back to where the market

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 5>was as is as short as it was during COVID

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:57.880
<v Speaker 5>when we saw negative prices, and you've erased the overall

0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 5>length going back into the early two thousand and I've

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:04.919
<v Speaker 5>chalked this up to you know, ultimately a broad what

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:08.320
<v Speaker 5>we call the great d stocking. High interest rates are

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:12.840
<v Speaker 5>forcing d stocking of physical barrels, D stocking the sanction barrels,

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.879
<v Speaker 5>d stocking of sprs, D stocking of finished goods, even

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 5>de stocking of financial paper barrels. So we have been

0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 5>just continuously selling for about six months to nine months.

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 6>Now, can you elaborate a little bit, because for people

0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 6>who are not in the nitty gritty, a lot of

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 6>what you said was perhaps a bit opaque, the connection

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 6>of high interest rates to a lack of interest in

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 6>buying oil on a whole range of areas, or a

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:43.359
<v Speaker 6>lack of sort of stockpiling physical or paper crude.

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 5>Let's just go yeah, let's go through the economics. Let's

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:51.080
<v Speaker 5>say to borrow money today to buy a barrel of oil,

0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 5>because you've got to you know, finance your your your

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:57.880
<v Speaker 5>physical inventory. Let's say it's seven eight percent somewhere like that.

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 5>Live Or is paid you five and a quarter. That's

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 5>your opportunity cost and putting your money into a risk

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:08.000
<v Speaker 5>free investment. So your net cost to holding physical inventory

0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:12.879
<v Speaker 5>run somewhere around thirteen potentially even fifteen percent in this environment,

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.119
<v Speaker 5>Why are you going to do that? You've got Navidia

0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 5>and Nasdak going up. There's so many better places to

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:21.640
<v Speaker 5>put your money. And I think the other point too,

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.199
<v Speaker 5>Oil copper and the rest of these markets don't have

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:27.720
<v Speaker 5>a positive carry, so they cost you to own it,

0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 5>cost you to store it. You're going to drain down

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 5>these inventories as much you can. So oil copper, they

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 5>are a liability right now. They are not an asset,

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 5>and until they become an asset, no one's going to

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:42.439
<v Speaker 5>want to hold them, hold them in an inventory, or

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:44.760
<v Speaker 5>hold them in a pay per form. And so you

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 5>could just think about that the cost of holding these

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:51.920
<v Speaker 5>these commodities has risen so much that ultimately are de stocking.

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.159
<v Speaker 5>Now we've been waiting nearly a decade for the Iranian

0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:59.400
<v Speaker 5>floating storage to discharge. It's finally discharging right now, which

0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:03.679
<v Speaker 5>shows you no, nobody really wants to hold this commodity.

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 5>We think that's going to change, and I think it

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 5>has to start with lower inventories, forcing what we call

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:12.679
<v Speaker 5>a backwardation, which is a positive carry in the curve,

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 5>then somebody will want to own it.

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 6>This is fascinating because for years people were decrying the

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 6>financialization of crude as sort of a bed on the macroeconomy.

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 6>Are you saying that it is no longer in the

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.679
<v Speaker 6>same kind of way that this is basically where it

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:29.159
<v Speaker 6>is traded, but it's actually a liability now that the

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 6>financialization has come to such a place where people look

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:34.880
<v Speaker 6>at it as comparable to an interest bearing type of instrument,

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 6>and you're waiting for some sort of not I want

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 6>to say crisis, but a complete lack of inventory to

0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 6>spur prices in such an extreme way that you get

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 6>a violent shift up that really forces a hand of

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 6>people who are left kind of in the dust.

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm not going to say it's one hundred percent interest rates.

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 5>It's fear of recession why people don't want to own these.

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.880
<v Speaker 5>The government discharge their reserves do over fears of inflation.

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:02.480
<v Speaker 5>So there's other factors at play here, But I think

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:05.880
<v Speaker 5>your broader point is absolutely right. We think about when

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:10.399
<v Speaker 5>was oil financialized in the two thousands, when interest rates,

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 5>you know, is right after September eleventh in two thousand

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 5>and one, when interest rates first went to near zero.

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:19.080
<v Speaker 5>That's when you started to see the explosion in the

0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 5>financialization of oil and commodities. And we stayed into this

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 5>loose money environment for nearly fifteen twenty years. And now

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 5>money costs something.

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:29.919
<v Speaker 2>There are a set of world cluss leaders, and you're

0:26:29.960 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 2>one of them, Jeff Curry on this and with the

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:35.119
<v Speaker 2>acuity of the what I'm going to call almost the

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 2>general equilibrium theory of hydrocarbons, you parachute into riod right

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:44.119
<v Speaker 2>now and you have to advise the Saudis on the

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 2>elasticities of supply and demand around this new world, which

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 2>is the old world of a cost of money.

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>How do you advise Saudi.

0:26:53.760 --> 0:26:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Arabia in this new world of higher nominal and real

0:26:58.200 --> 0:26:58.959
<v Speaker 2>interest rates.

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:03.200
<v Speaker 5>Their market power has never been higher. And one of

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:06.919
<v Speaker 5>the reasons why is you combine the higher cost of

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 5>money combined with issues around the cost of funding hydrocarbon

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:16.120
<v Speaker 5>type of investments. They're the only game in town. They

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 5>have no competition right now. When we look at the

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 5>cut they made in October, that was the very first

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:25.280
<v Speaker 5>preemptive cut we've ever seen. Opak do, and we just

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:29.240
<v Speaker 5>saw two more cuts announced in the last the last

0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:33.920
<v Speaker 5>three months. Why because they don't have fear of competition. Yes,

0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:37.639
<v Speaker 5>the oil that's coming on market is Russian, Iranian, in

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:40.399
<v Speaker 5>Venezuelan sanctioned oil, and eventually you'll run out of it

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 5>and there's nothing behind it. But is there competition from

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 5>the rest of the world. The answer is really no.

0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Is the United States not ignorant but unaware of the

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 2>international dynamics of oil, of moving oil up to Japan,

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:59.199
<v Speaker 2>across the Pacific Rim and all the dynamics of the

0:27:59.240 --> 0:27:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Middle East?

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Have we gotten lazy?

0:28:02.760 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 5>I think it was a bigger focus on immediate term issues,

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:09.160
<v Speaker 5>things like inflation fighting, which is why we saw such

0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:13.919
<v Speaker 5>a sharp rundown in the SPR And you know you're talking.

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 5>You put all the sprs together, it was two hundred

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 5>and fifty million barrels drawn down. That is a lot

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.640
<v Speaker 5>of oil. So I think the focus from a policy

0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 5>perspective is get the inflation down and keep it down.

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:28.879
<v Speaker 5>But here's a fact I like to throw out. You know,

0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 5>you look at core CPI at somewhere around five point five.

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 5>It was at that level, you know, going back nearly

0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 5>two years ago, what's changed is oil prices went down,

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 5>taking headline from nine down to four point.

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 7>Five just quickly.

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 6>Jeff, do you think that that's the reason why the

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 6>US is not refilling the spr more aggressively because they're

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 6>still concerned about inflation and that that could on the

0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 6>margins push prices up.

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:54.040
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think, with you know, the showdown over the

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 5>debt ceiling, getting money to go buy oil would be

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 5>really difficult to come by. But that aside. Listen to Frank,

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 5>so listen to Germany. The focus now is building strategic

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 5>reserves of green metals, you know, like battery metals like copper, lithium, cobal.

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 5>So if you're going to build strategic reserves, you're probably

0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 5>gonna do it in you know, the green economy commodities,

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:17.040
<v Speaker 5>not in the old economy commodities.

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Jeffers oil in a year.

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I know it's an unfair question, given all the ambiguities

0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:23.080
<v Speaker 2>out there right now, but I've got to ask. I mean,

0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 2>we're down, down, down, right wrong whatever scope out where

0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:28.920
<v Speaker 2>we are in twelve months.

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:32.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I our viewers are going to be seeing substantial

0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:37.400
<v Speaker 5>physical inventory draws because of these OPEC production cuts, particularly

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 5>during the third quarter. As well as in fourth quarter.

0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:42.400
<v Speaker 5>That's going to push us up into the low nineties.

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 5>Now the question is will you bring the investor back

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 5>into this market? And by the way, I put a

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 5>question mark on it because it'll have to be a

0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 5>new class of investor. It takes that investor buying to

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 5>push you back up towards one hundred. We're not you know,

0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 5>I know a lot of them have gone left and

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 5>it'll be difficul call to get them back. But I

0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 5>think the key question fundamentally, we can get this market higher,

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 5>and I think it we get Once you turn oil

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 5>into an asset, you'll track capital back to it. But

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it's going to be the same cast

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:12.600
<v Speaker 5>of characters.

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Curry, thank you so much. Just absolutely brilliant there

0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 2>with Goldman Sachs. Right now, we are going to digress

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 2>and we are thrilled to bring in someone who runs

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 2>an economy that is better than good. She's picking up

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 2>a trophy in New York this evening. Nadia Calvino is

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Spanish Vice President Minister for the Economy and Digitalization of

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Number one performing always Spain in the continent of John

0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Why is Spain always the number one performer, what what.

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:48.880
<v Speaker 4>Are talking about football?

0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:50.560
<v Speaker 1>The pixie dust there we're.

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 4>Talked about football?

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Well football, yeah.

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean there it is. But the answer is Spain

0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 2>is unique. We're thrilled that the Vice President could join

0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:02.040
<v Speaker 2>us this morning. Thank you so much for joining us.

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I've got to go to the weather IMF for meat

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 2>and Marrakesh and the idea is there is a drought

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:12.480
<v Speaker 2>in Africa coming over that will grossly destabilize the agricultural

0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:15.360
<v Speaker 2>dynamo that is Spain and quite frankly, just worry about

0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>drinking water as well. How urgent is the drought in

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 2>southern Spain.

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:23.440
<v Speaker 9>Well, it is a very serious issue because Spain is

0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:26.480
<v Speaker 9>a world superpower in the agri food sector and so

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 9>the drought is having an impact on the harvest in

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 9>some areas, having to do with cereal for example. But

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 9>drinking water is guaranteed and we're investing very heavily, actually

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:41.200
<v Speaker 9>more than six billion euros in the digitalization of water

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 9>management and the efficient infrastructures for water management. You may

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 9>know or not that Spain is the second most efficient

0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 9>country in the world after Israel in water management, and

0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:53.440
<v Speaker 9>so we're heavily investing in that. So that we can

0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:55.680
<v Speaker 9>continue to be highly performant.

0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 1>There's so many other issues.

0:31:57.120 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to leave it there that there's much to

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:00.480
<v Speaker 2>talk about, and that I'm sure we were on the

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:05.040
<v Speaker 2>coming months. What has changed is you and mister Sanchez

0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 2>have a snap election to deal with our landso Soto says,

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 2>this is absolutely front and center. How will you approach

0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the snap election?

0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:17.360
<v Speaker 9>Well, you know, the economy is performing, is outstanding. As

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 9>you rightly pointed out.

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 5>It's good.

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I read the notes, did okay.

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:24.320
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, you did very well. Actually, no, it's better than good.

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:27.719
<v Speaker 9>And indeed, I mean the strong growth, strong job creation.

0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 9>Inflation is down to round three percent already in Spain.

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 9>So the performance of the performance of the economy is outstanding,

0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 9>and I trust you know that Spanish citizens will Actually.

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Why I don't mean to interrupt, this is important. The

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:46.720
<v Speaker 2>political turmoil in Spain is tangible. Why given a good

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:49.000
<v Speaker 2>inflation and good economy picture.

0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 9>Well, we had regional and local elections and they what

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:55.120
<v Speaker 9>we saw there was a rise of the right and

0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:59.120
<v Speaker 9>more importantly, the extreme right. This movement is not only

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:02.360
<v Speaker 9>is not only happening in Spain, you were talking about it.

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 9>Of course, it's relevant here in the US. It is

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:08.160
<v Speaker 9>happening throughout the EU and this is a movement that

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 9>I personally hope does not continue. And President Sanchez decided

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:18.080
<v Speaker 9>to call the snap election so that we can have clarity.

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:21.520
<v Speaker 9>Spain will take over the presidency of the EU in July,

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 9>and we need to have clarity and a stable government

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:27.560
<v Speaker 9>and not be in the middle of a campaign for

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:28.280
<v Speaker 9>the presidency.

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 4>It still work to do before we get there. Vice

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 4>President Cavin, one thing you mentioned there was the drought

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 4>and that's had an effect on price pressure. Now you've

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:39.360
<v Speaker 4>made some progress on inflation. You do have an anti

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 4>inflation package due to expire at the end of this month.

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:43.800
<v Speaker 4>Is that something you're thinking about renewing.

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.520
<v Speaker 9>Well, we're assessing which measures we should continue to have

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 9>in the second part of the year and which no

0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 9>longer make sense because the evolution in international energy markets.

0:33:54.520 --> 0:33:57.160
<v Speaker 9>You are just discussing that energy prices have gone down.

0:33:57.440 --> 0:34:01.320
<v Speaker 9>We are in pre war level already, so we have

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:04.960
<v Speaker 9>to see whether those measures should continue or not beyond June.

0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:10.000
<v Speaker 9>And likewise for VAT so indirect taxes on food and others.

0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 4>Could you give me some insight on that now?

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 9>No, because we're in the midst of the analysis, and

0:34:14.080 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 9>we know what we have been doing since the pandemic

0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:19.719
<v Speaker 9>hit us is it just measures every three or six months,

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:22.080
<v Speaker 9>so that we could have a flexible approach and an

0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:24.759
<v Speaker 9>efficient use of public resources. I mean, we talked about

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:28.240
<v Speaker 9>public money when we reduce taxes or we give public support,

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 9>so we have to be very focused and very efficient.

0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 9>This has worked well so far, and that explains why

0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 9>the Spanish economy is doing so well. And we should

0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 9>continue on the same line of responsibility and effectiveness.

0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 6>How much have you enjoyed the europe being weak versus

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 6>a dollar and sort of the tourism boom that has

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:46.920
<v Speaker 6>a verged on the heels of that.

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:50.960
<v Speaker 9>Well, we've seen a very strong performance of the tourism sector, indeed,

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 9>and April has been a record month in terms of

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 9>number of visitors and in terms of the revenues of

0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:00.200
<v Speaker 9>the sector. And we expect the summer to be so

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:04.719
<v Speaker 9>extremely positive. But the current account surplus that Spain is

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 9>showing and this is a historical first. You know, never

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:12.000
<v Speaker 9>in history did we have the surplus, particularly when we

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 9>have so strong growth. But what's remarkable is not the

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:21.800
<v Speaker 9>good performance of tourism experts, but non tourism related services,

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:25.880
<v Speaker 9>showing that the Spanish economy is gaining competitiveness and market share.

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:29.640
<v Speaker 9>Not only the goods sectors, but the non tourism related

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:33.799
<v Speaker 9>services are being very positive and pulling growth up.

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 6>Is that what you're trying to emphasize right now, the

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:38.719
<v Speaker 6>sort of manufacturing side, the non tourism side, even as

0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:41.440
<v Speaker 6>the tourism side really is one of the main drivers

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:44.040
<v Speaker 6>of the strength that has in some cases been unprecedented

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:44.720
<v Speaker 6>in Spain.

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:47.359
<v Speaker 9>What I think should be highlighted is what we're talking

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:49.680
<v Speaker 9>about is not just a bouncing back or a strong

0:35:49.719 --> 0:35:54.080
<v Speaker 9>recovery from a macroeconomic or micro magnitude point of view,

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 9>but that there is a structural modernization and transformation of

0:35:57.680 --> 0:36:00.520
<v Speaker 9>the Spanish economy ongoing, which has to do with the

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:03.759
<v Speaker 9>new Green economy, which has to do with digitalization, and

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:06.280
<v Speaker 9>it has a lot to do with the European Funds

0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:10.920
<v Speaker 9>Next Generation EU Investment and Reform program. We have front

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 9>loaded that investment and reform plan and the results are

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 9>already visible.

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 4>If you had a chat with Elon muskets All, no,

0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:20.920
<v Speaker 4>should you have a conversation with him, because he's reportedly

0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:23.320
<v Speaker 4>in talks to build an EV factory in Spain.

0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 9>Yes, I mean we hear regularly. I should say, you know,

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:29.680
<v Speaker 9>we hear about a possible that.

0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:31.800
<v Speaker 4>You try to reach out and have that conversation.

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 9>I personally don't don't have a relationship with him, or

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:38.160
<v Speaker 9>I haven't had a chance to talk to him. But

0:36:38.280 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 9>I am sure that the Prime Minister, the President's office

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 9>is in contact with anybody that's interested in investing in Spain.

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 9>Due to you know, thanks to the lower energy prices,

0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:50.320
<v Speaker 9>high penetration of renewables and the competitiveness of the Spanish economy,

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:52.759
<v Speaker 9>we're attracting unprecedented investments.

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Ask you for a friend.

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I was in Washington and the Dutch Finance minister could

0:36:56.560 --> 0:36:58.919
<v Speaker 2>not get us tickets to Vermire. The whole team wanted

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:01.560
<v Speaker 2>to go to Amsterdam and see the Vermire. Can we

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:03.640
<v Speaker 2>can you get us tickets to the Prado here with

0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the Picasso opening up, I'm the fifteenth anniversary of this

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:09.640
<v Speaker 2>giant of Spain with old Greco.

0:37:09.960 --> 0:37:11.400
<v Speaker 1>We need tickets to the Produn.

0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:14.160
<v Speaker 9>I mean, Tom, anything you need, you.

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:20.719
