00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: and Mike Caarra Moscow, thank you very much. What we've

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: been talking about all day long, the state of inflation

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: in the United States, the fact that we're seeing some

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: stirring of inflation in the core rate at least of

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: CPI will wit and see what the PC shows US.

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: One area it is also showing up is in inflation

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: expectations on Wall Street Break events have really soared in

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, which in theory should make

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Martin Haggard's job easier. He's managing director co ahead of

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: Black Rocks inflation linked bond portfolio Martinet. It seems like

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: maybe people are beginning to pay attention to your sector

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: once again, you know, and we think it's about time. UM.

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: You mentioned that inflation expectations have soared recently, and what

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: is really interesting is to look at how they have

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: actually moved. Where you've had spot inflation expectations move up.

37
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: UM as a result of a stabilization slash move higher

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: in commodity prices. But what has not really moved significantly

39
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: is the inflation forwards, which is something that the FED

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: continually refers to, and I do think that that was

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: some of the impetus behind their perceived debbishness at this

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: week's meeting that given that spot inflation expectations have moved,

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: but many or at least market participants are not extrapolating

44
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: this to be a permanent move higher in inflation in

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: the future. What's the likelihood that inflation picks up to

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: the point where people start to care? Well, I think

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: we're we're actually there. Um, you know, core inflation printing

48
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: at two point three p r on ear and headline

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: inflation going to move up to that fairly rapidly given

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: the stabilization or move higher in commodity prices that are

51
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: alluded to earlier. So it is there, and I don't

52
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: think we're going to necessarily deviate too much from the

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: current trajector. We may have a little bit of a

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: slowdown as we approached the middle of the year, but

55
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: you're in expectations, you know. I spoke to you guys

56
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: a month ago post lost lost CPI print where we

57
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: expected corep I too end the year a little north

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: of two. And and if anything, the recent run rate

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: and the subsequent depreciation the dollars that we have seen

60
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: pushes our urine forecast a tad higher than we were previously.

61
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: I must admit when I look at course cp I,

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: and I compare it to the one I love Martin Haggerty,

63
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: which is Cleveland CPI, which is a national statistic. It's

64
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: jaw dropping at two point three in the acceleration there.

65
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: What is the makeup of our two point three core inflation?

66
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Well that that's a good question, Tom. And you know

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: when we spoke last time, I mentioned how we like

68
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: to split up the CPI indices into high volatility and

69
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: low volatility components. And the low val components are the

70
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: ones that tend to uh in the direction at which

71
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: they move is a direction which overall CPI moves, and

72
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: those are the big service based components of the index,

73
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: such as shelter healthcare um, pushing inflation higher. That our

74
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: low val component is running at almost three on a

75
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: euar of a year basis so well above or at

76
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: least a great contributor to that two point three rate um.

77
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: The high val components, which tend to be obviously more

78
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: volatile in nature as the title would suggest, have also

79
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: moved up, now approaching half a percent year on your in.

80
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: The big contributor to that over the last couple of

81
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: months has been the apparel component, which obviously as a

82
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: testament to greater disposal income that consumers have given how

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: low headline inflation has been as a result of gas prices,

84
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: and potentially the headwinds to that sector from a stronger

85
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: dollar that we endue it from two thousand and fourteen

86
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: into two thousand and fifteen and even the beginning of

87
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen are beginning to recede in the data.

88
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: And I was actually looking at the movement in the

89
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: trade weight to dollar and March two thousand and fifteen

90
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: to March two thousand and sixteen, the trade weight to

91
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 1: dollars basically now unchanged given the depreciation over the last

92
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: over the last month, and more more rapidly over the

93
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: last couple of days. And so the headwinds to inflation

94
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: from the stronger dollar are definitely going to recede into

95
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: the revue mirror as we as we progressed through the year.

96
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: How much of an inflation premium is being built in

97
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: right now? You know, in the inflation market, we don't

98
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: think much. I was just five year five year inflations

99
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: operates trade very close to two percent. The FEDS favored

100
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: five year five year measure trades that one and a half. Now,

101
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: if we are indeed supposed to take the FED word

102
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: at there in flation target of PC inflation of two percent,

103
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: that should really translate into a CPI equivalent of about

104
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: two point three or two point four given the basis

105
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: between those two indictries, and right now at one fifty

106
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: as the tips market is pricing in on this forward metric,

107
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: we're pricing in a negative risk premium of about ninety

108
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: basis points. Now, there is ample room for for the

109
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: forward inflation measure to move up, But it's reasonably interesting

110
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: to to look at where nominal bond yields are currently

111
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: trading relative to the run rate of inflation. So we

112
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: had core inflation print at two point three percent, yet

113
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: tenure nominal bonds are trading basis points below that um,

114
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: which is I think the the signals being sent from

115
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: from the nominal bond market are actually somewhat contrajectory relative

116
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: to the run rate of inflation that we're currently experiencing

117
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: is with us from black Rock. Yeah, it just I folks,

118
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: I can tell you that maybe this week, Mike, there

119
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: wasn't momentous news, but it was one of the most

120
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: interesting weeks here to get to market economics, academic economics,

121
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: and international relations. Just somedimes, just fascinating. Yeah, it's uh,

122
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: as you say, not huge headline because it was more

123
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: about what didn't happen, but in the fact that it

124
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: has made a lot of changes. We're gonna do that

125
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: in our next half hour Bloomberg Surveillance on a Friday, Uh,

126
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: and we're gonna touch on one of the third rail debates.

127
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: If you want to stop a cocktail party in America,

128
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: we know how to do it, and we'll do that

129
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: in our next half hour. It's Bloomberg Surveillance. The Bloomberg
