25
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: right here on Bloomberg Radio. Equities of zig zagged as

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,399

Speaker 1: drop there of one percent. Apple shares their climbing by

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: one percent, leading tech shares higher. Now, what about the

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: big picture in terms of the economy. Peter Orzag is

32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: managing director at Lazard and former direct sure of the

33
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: Office of Management and Budget. He's also a Bloomberg View columnist. Well,

34
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing. The economy is kind of math to

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: use a technical term. It's not great, it's not terrible.

36
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: And the problem is with growth rates that are you know,

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: one and a half to two percent. Uh, you can

38
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: have really bad offensibly really bad numbers that are close

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: to zero, much more likely than if we were growing

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: at three, when a bad number would then be, you know,

41
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: a one and a half percent rate. So one of

42
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: the dimensions here is that we're kind of skirting effectively.

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: The plane is just barely flying, and that's a dangerous situation.

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,200

Speaker 1: poll in the UK put the remain vote at and

87

88
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: polls had swung more in the direction of Remain. We

89
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: are now going to take an in depth look at

90
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: where this vote is, where it's heading, and what it

91
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: means for the UK, for the European Union and the

92
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: markets with our Alberto Gallo, not only author of the

93
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: Silver Bullet, a great read on the markets around the world,

94
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: he is portfolio manager and head of macro Strategies at

95
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: Algebra's Investments. Alberto, welcome and congratulations on your new role.

96
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Thanks to me Hi so we're all watching the polls

97
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: uh and you know, the base case we have is

98
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be a small victory for main but

99
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: obviously the swings can be the last minute wings can

100
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: be very large, as we have learned from past referendums

101
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: here in the UK, So belt is there a macro

102
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: credit trade to be put on in anticipation of what

103
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: you describe. Look, the most people have gone on the sideline,

104
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of cash and portfolios. So if

105
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: there is a remain obviously you're going to have a

106
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: rally in stocks, and you're probably gonna have a bit

107
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: more rally and sterling towards one and a half one

108
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: point five versus the dollar. But we also want to

109
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: have some hedges because even though it's a low probability,

110
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, less than fifty percent, it's still very possible

111
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: that you have a leave vote and that could unleash

112
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: a series of political consequences. It would it would make

113
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: for periphery risks come back. So Greece Portugal, you know,

114
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: look relatively weak fundamentally, and also especially in case of

115
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: Brexit and and on, these government balls would would go

116
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: up and yield by at least one percent. UH in case,

117
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: but if not more so, we're you know, we're cautiously

118
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: optimistic here, but we're still keeping some hedges, particularly Greece

119
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: and Portual in particular, looks like the weak link in

120
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: the thirty three. It's kept in the ECB Quantity Division

121
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: program only by one rating agency. Well, of course, I

122
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: think that the broader fear for central banks, and of

123
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: course the European Central Bank has made it clear that

124
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: it's ready to take steps, and in fact there's the

125
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: six currency swap arrangement is in play apparently, so there

126
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: could be big steps to support the pound if the

127
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: vote is to leave and the pound gets hammered. Uh,

128
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: you call the relationship between you can eat you a

129
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: troubled love story. You note that the UK has already

130
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: had but four opt outs if they go Alberto. This

131
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: is not just they leave tomorrow. This takes a while.

132
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: What does that mean for financial markets? If if Britain votes,

133
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: if there's a two year period of complete uncertainty, during

134
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: which there would be negotiations around the exit, which needs

135
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: to be voted by EU member countries. During this period, Also,

136
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: the UK will have to negotiate freight agreements with over

137
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: a hundred countries on its own. Uh and UM, you

138
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: have really two scenarios here, a good friendly exit where

139
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: the UK would be allowed and on some leeway by

140
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: the EU, but also bad exit where Germany could and

141
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: France could toughen the rules also withdraw some banks from

142
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: London that d c B could not allow clearing of

143
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: euro government bonds in London for example, in some other restrictions,

144
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: and all of this could mean a big loss for

145
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: the UK economy. This is the most likely scenario if

146
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: Leave gets voted, that you have a slow downing growth.

147
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: I also have to say all these all this comes

148
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: into a situation where the UK recovery is already is

149
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: already slowing down. There's been a lot of spending in

150
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: the first years of the of the Commeron Osborne government.

151
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: But after election, Uh, there needs to be in after

152
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: fifteen we're looking at austerity. We're looking at cuts and spending.

153
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: We're looking at higher taxes and slow down in housing prices.

154
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: So the UK has a twin deficit, very high deficit.

155
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: It relies on capital coming to the UK is a

156
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: safe and the more entertainly you introduced, the more votes,

157
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,200

Speaker 1: really affect the UK economy negatively. So you know, a

160
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: live vote is really bad. Even without a lead vote,

161
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: wild remain stilled, recovery is going to be weak. Albert Ill,

172
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: elections next weekend, but I think it's gonna be a
