Joining us now 146 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: to discuss Blue Bag tv Anka Critty Group to and 147 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: our Markets Live Asia team Leader Garfield Reynolds. Welcome to 148 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: both of you. Thank you for your time. Critty, What 149 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: does sentiment around stocks look like now today after the 150 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: extraordinary trading days we've had. 151 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: Well, you're seeing green on the screen and across Asia, 152 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: but you're also seeing in a future's action right here 153 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: in Europe as well. I think the takeaway here is 154 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: that it's not necessarily one that's related to the fundamentals. 155 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: When you see an extreme reaction in either side, whether 156 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: it's to the upside or the downside, you are due 157 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: for some sort of reversal, and I think that's exactly 158 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: what we're getting today. You also have to be careful 159 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: of the margin of the move. Just because you're seeing 160 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: swings of say ten and a half percent in positive 161 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: territory does not yield of course reason and to be 162 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: confident to the extent of ten and a half percent. 163 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: So I think the one thing we can be sure 164 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: of when it comes to sentiment of stocks is just 165 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: that volatility is going to be the name of the game. 166 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: It's going to abate. You're not going to see as 167 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: big moves as the week goes on, depending on the 168 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: news fall, of course, But for now this is really 169 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: just a matter of reversing what we saw yesterday. 170 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, crazy, We heard a little from Mary Daily there 171 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: and we had, of course the Ism Services report out yesterday. 172 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 3: How much did that go to sort of reassure markets 173 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 3: that you know they first of all, the FED is 174 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: things under control. 175 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: Very very little, because off the back of it you 176 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: have calls out of JP, Morgan City, Bank of America, 177 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: even our very own Bloomber Economics that are saying fifty 178 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: basis points of a cut in September is a must 179 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: have at this point because the markets have basically forced 180 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: the FED into a corner. At least that's the argument 181 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: that they're making, especially when it comes off that payers report. 182 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: Remember the read through the ripple effect that the Federal 183 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: Reserve can no longer just be sensitive to what you're 184 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: seeing in the data anymore so, things like ism services. 185 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: They now have to keep an eye on what's going 186 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: on with financial conditions and markets, the stock market, the 187 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: currency market, and of course credit spreads, all of which 188 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: taked yesterday are going to be a big part of that, 189 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: especially if you see continued panic. 190 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: Okay, Christy, very interesting, Golferd. Let's bring you in at 191 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 2: this point. I mean, you were speaking to us on 192 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: yesterday's program about the possibility that the market moves maybe 193 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: an overshit. Is the panic selling over? Firstly, how would 194 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: you describe the rally today? 195 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 9: Well, the rally today is in many ways what you 196 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 9: would expect, given there was such a huge sell off 197 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 9: and there was no obvious immediate existential trigger. There was 198 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 9: no COVID pandemic, there was no Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, and 199 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 9: yet equities moved just about as if there were, or 200 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 9: even further than they did back in those days. So, 201 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 9: given that lack of an obvious immediate trigger, a rebound 202 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 9: was likely. But that doesn't get us out of the woods. 203 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: Now. 204 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 9: The question is how sustainable is that rebound? What's going 205 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 9: to be the longer term impact? You have to assume 206 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 9: that global portfolio managers, for example, are going to be 207 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 9: drastically reducing their allocations to Japan because of the volatility. 208 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 9: It's just not worth going into a market that where 209 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 9: you don't know if you're going to turn around a 210 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 9: couple of days and find you down twenty percent, so 211 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 9: you'll reduce your allocations to that. That means there will 212 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 9: be measured selling still to come, and there will be 213 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 9: pressure on other parts of people's portfolios as to you know, 214 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 9: whether these now look robust enough amid what is obviously 215 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 9: a more challenging environment, especially with geopolitical and US political risks. 216 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 9: You're lingering in the background. 217 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: At the same time, we have this meeting happening today 218 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 3: with in Japan the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of 219 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 3: Japan and regulators holding this meeting to discuss what's happening 220 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: in financial markets. What should we be thinking about when 221 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: when monitoring that meeting. 222 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 9: Well, we'd be thinking about what they might say as 223 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 9: regards to you, if they want to affirm that BOJ 224 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 9: policy is moving in the right direction, if they if 225 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 9: they want to simply say, oh, you know, look, markets 226 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 9: have taken this, you know, the wrong way. We're confident 227 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 9: that we're heading in the right direction. You the alternative 228 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 9: would be that they directly address the idea that they 229 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 9: want to reduce volatility across markets. It's a tough situation 230 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 9: because in many ways the Bank of Japan had been 231 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 9: excoriated and a lot of quarters for not moving more 232 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 9: rapidly towards a tightening cycle. Then finally when it does tighten, 233 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 9: it gets hit with a truly extraordinary sell off in 234 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 9: Japanese stocks. That's partly also because of what's been going 235 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 9: on in the US, not because of what's been going 236 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 9: on in Japan. 237 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, the criticism of the BAJA. What do you 238 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: think the RBA decision in Australia adds then to the 239 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 2: picture this morning. I mean, okay, it was a hold, 240 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: but that was also something that we were factoring in 241 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: as potentially playing into markets as we think about the FED. 242 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 9: Too, well, yes, it was a hole in it. So far, 243 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 9: still waiting for the presser, but so far the statement 244 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 9: looks a little bit more hawkish than might have been 245 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 9: expected immediately after the weak inflation print or soft inflation 246 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,599 Speaker 9: print that Australia had last week. So that's a reminder 247 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 9: that even if the markets are going to get very 248 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 9: excited about how economies are in trouble. Central banks will 249 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 9: be more deliberate. One of the questions is will the 250 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 9: Fed really meet those bets for a fifty basis point 251 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 9: rate cut in September? And the RBA at least is 252 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 9: you're pointing you to the idea that it won't and 253 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 9: that could be the next volatility trigger if we get 254 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 9: some data. We don't get much more in the way 255 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 9: of data or even fedspeak this week, but next week 256 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 9: we get us CPI, we get more Fed speak, if 257 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 9: we get data and or rhetoric that pushes back against 258 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 9: people who are locking in twenty five to fifty basis 259 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 9: points in September and the central banks saying well, we're 260 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 9: still not sure, we're still not fully confident. That could 261 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 9: be a trigger for another wave of concern. 262 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: Are we now looking then at the dust being allowed 263 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: to settle for a couple of days on markets before 264 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 3: those data points that you're talking about coming next week. 265 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 9: Well, that would be the hope I think out there. 266 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 9: And indeed, you know, there are signs already that the 267 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 9: selling is settling down, the sorry of the buying is 268 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 9: settling down a little bit in Japanese stocks, they've paired 269 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 9: some of those gains, which I would argue is is 270 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 9: somewhat healthy. What you really want is for markets to 271 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 9: settle down for any rally that comes from here, for 272 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 9: equities to be built around something sustainable, not simply oh, 273 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 9: look these stocks that were a bit too expensive two 274 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 9: weeks ago are now suddenly very cheap, and so we're 275 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 9: going to buy them. Hope that things go back to 276 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 9: being the way they were before the milkdown. That's day 277 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 9: trading rather than sustainable training. So you want to look 278 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 9: for two or three boring days in markets before you 279 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 9: hope that we get sustained improvement in the artlock for 280 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 9: risk ausets. 281 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Europe, your morning brief on the 282 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 3: stories making news from London to Wall Street and beyond. 283 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed every morning, on Apple, Spotify, 284 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 2: and anywhere else you get your podcasts. 285 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning on London DAB Radio, 286 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 3: the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. 287 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station, is also available on your 288 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
