1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keene 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Jay Lee. We bring you insight from the best in economics, finance, investment, 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course, on the Bloomberg ye 5 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: Out Wire. Bt i G, Chief Equity and Derivative Strategist. 6 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm not going to bury the lead here, Julian. Try 7 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: not to do that on a daily basis, but I'm 8 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: definitely not going to do it today to rate cuts 9 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: guys up to a bt i G. Yeah. No, Well, look, 10 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: first of all, we're historians, and the FED cuts rates 11 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: after hiking cycles. Generally they start within five to six 12 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: months after the last hike UM and so so the 13 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: one time they didn't was two thousand and seven. But 14 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: it's more than that. The FED is very cognizant of 15 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: the message of the yield curve. We're not believers in 16 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: in in the yield curve in version. We we strictly 17 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: adhere to twos tends, but the rest of the market 18 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: does look at it. Uh So, the psychology of recession 19 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: has started to form. We saw that in the plunging yield. 20 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: But more importantly, the FED wants inflation. The Fed is 21 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: is very focused on stoking I want inflation to come on. 22 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: There's technological change starting with Uber John's I said on 23 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: TV today, John, did you really try to get thirty 24 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: thousand shares of Uber popped on Uber? Can I just 25 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: editorialize your folks, it's like worldwide. After doing this show 26 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: for forty years, John, you've been a saint about this. 27 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: The I p O giddiness, it's just ridiculous. While the 28 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: reporting from Bloomberg suggesting that we could get a filing 29 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: for that ip as soon as tomorrow like a RAM, 30 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: and maybe a listing as soon as May for Ruber. 31 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: So the IPOs are snacking up. You know what some 32 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: people will be saying, Julian, this is it the C suite, 33 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: as some of these private companies see, this is the 34 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: final opportunity. The window is closing, Let's go public. What 35 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: do you say back to that, Well, there's no question 36 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: that you know, when you think about the activity the 37 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: last several weeks, there's been some major, major deals, major 38 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: ones coming and you could say that our point of 39 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: view is that what you've really seen is a lot 40 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: of that risk has occurred through the private investment markets 41 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: over the last call a dozen years or so UM 42 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: and in actuality when you think about evaluations, we're not 43 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: to that froth point yet. So let's dig into the 44 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: rate cut call and why you still think stocks can 45 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: go higher. That's hard to reckon sile for so many people. 46 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: If you have the environment that's fertile for a rate 47 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: cut that is tipping, not the environment that risk assets 48 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: perform well in Why do you, at the same time 49 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: as predicting forecasting two rate cuts this year simultaneously forecast 50 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: a higher equity market because it doesn't necessarily have to 51 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: be that sort of seeing recession in the whites of 52 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: the market's eyes if you look at it UH in 53 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: a time where we think there are similarities. The Fed 54 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: cut five months after the last hike in in early 55 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: just because inflation UH and growth dipped briefly. We are 56 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: in the midst of the soft patch. We're not necessarily 57 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: in the midst of a recession of any sort. But 58 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: the Fed wants to also give the rest of central 59 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: banks UH flexibility and that means rate cutting. Julian, The 60 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: charm of your research notes is the first two pages 61 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: are in English, and then the rest of it is 62 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: all this derivative mumbo jumbo which basically centers around what's 63 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: the bet of the market, what's the bet of the 64 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: market right now? Like what actually are hedge funds doing, 65 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: what's the long only buy side doing? What are we 66 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: doing actually doing and not talking about? Well, the bet 67 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: in the market is that equities are going higher, But 68 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: interestingly enough, that has been a very grudging bet over 69 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: the last several months, and and in fact, without without Gamma, 70 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: there's no pop to it, exactly exactly, And and our 71 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: our concern in the very near term is that this 72 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: vaal selling has gotten a bit too carried away, well, 73 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: like February of year ago carried away well. So there 74 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: are actually two examples. There was late two thousand and 75 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: seventeen when val sellers were so extreme that they actually 76 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: ran to the outside. But also like the same as 77 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: last year where you had on the downside move is 78 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: comment John Gamma, g A M m am in the Greeks. 79 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: We're doing the Greeks today. It's Greek onesday. Looking for 80 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: a short term pop involva. Over the long term risk 81 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: assets performed well. Just walk me through the thinking care 82 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: of but what time. That's exactly right, so so and 83 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: again this short term pop involved, particularly if you get 84 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: good news, um, you know, market satisfaction with the breggsit extension, 85 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: the potential for some sort of Chinese deal to materialize, um, 86 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: you know, that is where volatility could actually pop on 87 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: the other Okay, we need to talk about that. That's 88 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: a catalyst good news as a catalyst for higher volatility. 89 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: Walk me through it. So if you go back, the 90 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: way to think about this is sort of the end 91 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: of ten, beginning of eighteen, and Tom alluded to it 92 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: with February. Essentially you got into a performance chase and 93 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that are behind their benchmarks, 94 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: came into the year under invested, remains somewhat underinvested, and 95 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: that kind of psychology that chase, particularly if the Fed 96 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: continues to indicate that it's got the markets back, uh, 97 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: causes volatility to expand down the opposite. Do you know, Julian, 98 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: it's it's amazing on your channels. That's what John and 99 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: I do every day. We do a performance. Cheez Can 100 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: we talk about a performance just briefly that's going to 101 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 1: take place on Capitol Hill a little bit later, speaking 102 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: of volatility the House versus Wall Street. That's what it 103 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: feels like, That's what it's teed up for. With Jamie Diamond, 104 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: David Solomon, Brian moynihan, Michael Corbett, James Coleman all going 105 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: up against the House Financial Services Committee? What does that 106 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: bring a little bit later other than theater, what are 107 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: you looking for from that? Julian well being overweight financials? 108 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: It always concerns us when you've got executives testifying on 109 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, and it's one of the reasons that were 110 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: neutral rated on technology because we continue to see technic 111 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: technology executives in front of Capitol Hill. Essentially, what they're 112 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: gonna do is try and convince legislators that the system 113 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: is far better off and that they are really, you know, 114 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: socially conscious. In this new age, there's important phrases that 115 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: you see, say the late nineties into two thousand one, 116 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: two thousand six over to two thousand seven. Julian yesterday, 117 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm Blueberg surveillance. We heard one of those phrases of 118 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: the era, the debt hamster wheel? Are we on the 119 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: debt hamster wheel now? Where we're gonna be like two 120 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: thousand six worrying about every ten basis points. UH with 121 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: a yield below two fifty in the ten year, we 122 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: are going to worry about it every ten basis points, 123 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: which goes back to our fall for rate cuts because 124 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: we actually think that if you cut rates, you can 125 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: potentially stimulate inflation expectations increasing the yield at the long 126 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: This is just you know, the guy goes to work 127 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: for Rich Greenfield and he becomes radical, radical, got to 128 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: keep up with Rich. I feel like once she leaves 129 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: the Swiss Bank she becomes unleashed a little bit true. 130 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on, Thank you getting a manueout BT. 131 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: I g chief E put into rivatives rategy shop glens 132 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: with us with credit Sweete, and I guess shop where 133 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: I want to go is Mr drag. He's going to 134 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: do everything not to move the Euro. And yet you've 135 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: got to decide if there's alpha or pop or gain 136 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: either way in the Euro. Is the Euro movable over 137 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: the next six months? Well, the market has sold implied 138 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: volatility in the Euro in massive size for the market 139 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: certainly thinks that there aren't many reasons for a large 140 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: euro move. I think in terms of today, the biggest 141 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: surprise would be if, as part of the Q and 142 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: a um ECB Chief Drug decides to address head on 143 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: this issue or the stories in the markets around the 144 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: possibility of tiered rates in the future. I think if 145 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: there's a substantial discuss and around that topic, then I 146 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: think the Euro could move, and it would probably be 147 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: to the downside. Let's talk about the move to the 148 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: dance on and how difficult that would be. Euro dollar 149 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: has really struggled to break one two a half and 150 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: we've thrown a lot at it. What is it going 151 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: to take to get the euro to break that level? 152 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: I think it's going to have to be something like 153 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: like what I just described, some something along the lines 154 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: of a conversation that raises the possibility of new innovations 155 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: in monetary policy designed to address more specifically what we 156 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: can see, which is very low inflation, very falling inflation expectations, 157 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: and a high likelihood of the e CV missing its 158 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: targets for inflation in the future. Until now, Drug has 159 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: maintained that ultimately the economy will cover and the inflation 160 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: expectations and inflation itself will move up against So anything 161 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: that suggests that there's a greater risk that that won't happen. 162 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: We would need to see that before the europe can 163 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: conclusively break down through those levels. In John Field, this 164 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: is critical because Shabs and the trenches and this this massive, 165 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: as you call it, binary call. John does coming up 166 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: on what central banks do? What is the e c 167 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: BAS next move. I mean, President drag tease the prospect 168 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: that we could have a tier deposit rate of the 169 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: e c B or they would do something to offset 170 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: the pain of negative interest rates for financial and the 171 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: financial sector. Shahab, It doesn't seem to me that that's 172 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: on the horizon in terms of happening anytime soon. No, 173 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: that's right, and I think that's the reason why, as 174 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: we discussed volatility in the urine imply, volatility is so 175 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: low and one markets are basically betting on the current 176 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: ranges holding um. It would be a surprise if Frankly, 177 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: if today he decides to make a big issue of 178 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: these of these themes. But the thing is, it's still 179 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: difficult to completely give a zero probility to this because 180 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: ultimately it's still the case that the economy is shaky 181 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: and certainly inflation data a very week so that you 182 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: can't really hide from that, and that's why we stair 183 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: alive to this risk dumb question of the day which 184 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: we just take for granted, but I think for a 185 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: lot of our audience, it's not a dumb question. Can 186 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: the ECB cut rates? It's still technically possible. Um, there 187 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: are central banks, for example the Swiss National Bank that 188 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: have even lower rates than the u CBS current rates. 189 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: There's a debate about how useful that would be, particularly 190 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: for bank profitability and therefore credit creation which comes from 191 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: banks ultimately in your area. So but it's but it's 192 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: technically possible. And again that the issue is what does 193 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: the CD do if we go into another major slow 194 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: down with another big fall in inflation expectations when it's 195 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 1: tool set is as limited as it is, As long 196 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: as the market doesn't perceive there to be a wide 197 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: range of other options, it will still keep open, keeping 198 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: up in mind around the possibility of more negative rates, 199 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: which again, you know, I think hells us that maybe 200 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: the problem lies elsewhere in all of you that if 201 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: they don't go into be a solution, it probably will 202 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: need a fiscal component. UM probably need the countries that 203 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: have room for fiscal expansion, like Germany, to the player 204 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: role in that. But that doesn't seem to be on 205 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: the menu. And Joan, wasn't it ten days ago that 206 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: Cherry Yellen in Asia said exactly what you heard Mr 207 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: Jones say. I think so many people have made this 208 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: point and for whatever reason, Europe just doesn't want to 209 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: explore the policy options Jha. But I just don't know 210 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: when that changes. When does the penny finally drop that 211 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: you need a counter cyclical fiscal policy in Europe. I 212 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: think the difficulty there is it's not so much in 213 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: the fact that it's not been discussed efficiently clearly it has. 214 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: It's just that philosophically, obviously the German has been disinclined 215 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: to go that way, but also maybe they want to 216 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: see more signs of reforms that they approve of in 217 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: the other countries, big countries like France for example. Um 218 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: so there's a quick pro crow thoughts playing out here. 219 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: The question is whether the European economy can sustain itself 220 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: long enough for this to really work itself out. Again. 221 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: This this plays into the view of some who believe 222 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: you need crises to force the issue, and in the 223 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: absence of those nothing much happens, which is why so 224 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: many investors tend to have a structural bearers your review. Well, 225 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: let's talk about that structural bearers your review and talk 226 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: about the cycle as well. At the moment, your view 227 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: is a different degree of bad. It's weak. Will agree 228 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: that it's weak in Europe, but to what degrees you have, 229 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: because manufacturing is very much weak in a recession pretty much, 230 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: services is okay, the hard data is still coming out. Okay, 231 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: the soft data looks terrible. How do you think DR 232 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: actually analyzes the Eurozone economy today with all of those 233 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: different things going on. It's not that clear. It's really 234 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: not clear because there are other problems too. For example, 235 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: we don't know whether the US and President Trump will 236 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: push on and force the issue around auto tariffs, which obviously, 237 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: if the US were to impose auto tarmas in Europe 238 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: would be a new economic shock. Uh and something that 239 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: isn't currently has been talked about, but I wouldn't say 240 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: it's necessarily in the price at this point in time 241 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: for the euro or maybe even drug his assessments of 242 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: the future. So I think it's very difficult because of 243 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: the changing nature of global trade relationships um and especially 244 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: for the Your area being a net exporting region largely 245 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: used to Germany. This is a key factor I think 246 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: in terms the current data, as you suggest, you do 247 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: have the split between the services sector and reasonable employment 248 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: outlooked by European standards on the one hand, and yet 249 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: obviously this terrible manufacturing story and the other. But I 250 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: think ultimately you know what I'm looking at there to 251 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: to solve that dylemma is inflation expectations. And if you 252 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: look at some of the e CVS own favored measures, 253 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: example the five year five year inflation swell for it, uh, 254 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: they'd been falling. These are in session. Expectations are going 255 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: lower and I haven't bounced too much yet either, even 256 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: with positive news like China's upside p M I surprises 257 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: so much. So I think that as long as that's 258 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: the case, we should lean on the side of VCV 259 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: having to be remaining under pressure to come up with 260 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: new ideas. Sham Johns with us with credit sweet, thank 261 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: you so much. Right now. Julia Cornado on a weaker Euro, 262 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: I mean the Euro Julia is just to be direct, 263 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: really floats off of every word that Mr Droggy says. 264 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: What is the significance right now of this weaker euro. 265 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean, nobody really expected the market wasn't really looking 266 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: for dragging to deliver a lot today, and he didn't. 267 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: And he's sort of dancing between the raindrops in his comments, 268 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: sort of indicating that they're studying what they can do 269 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: and that they're willing to do more, but also trying 270 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: to stick to that optimistic baseline. But uh so there's 271 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: a little bit maybe of disappointment that he didn't deliver anything, 272 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: or maybe that he sounds still a little too um 273 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: sanguine and about the outlook and less willing to do 274 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: what needs to be done. But you know, it's it's 275 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: really not a big reaction. I think we're still going 276 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: to be in wait and the mode after this meeting. 277 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: Uh the one what the data do and what the 278 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: ECB comes up with. One question went to what we 279 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: spoke about earlier on Bloomberg's surveillance, this idea of looking 280 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: out five years and then five years forward from there. 281 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: So when when the pros talk about a five year 282 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: five year forward, Am I right, Julia, that that's a 283 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: ten year guestimate of inflation. Yes, that's basically what the 284 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: market is thinking is trend inflation and they're we've seen 285 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: a real deterioration in market expectations for European inflation, and 286 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: I guess that's where probably some of the disappointment comes, 287 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: because Draggy is downplaying that deterioration, saying it's it's just 288 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: risk premium, which is what central bankers say when they 289 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: want to sort of dismiss it and put it okay. 290 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: Does the market have a good track record of getting 291 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: tenure out anything right, let alone inflation. We can't even 292 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: in forecast inflation in the next six months, let alone 293 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: the next five or ten years. So I don't think 294 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: anybody's got a good Julie. We'd go an hour long 295 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: with you, but we've got festivities in Washington. We're gonna 296 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: run to Paul Sweene and I are going to begin 297 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: to frame out a bank conference. We thank Dr Coronado 298 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: for a really good perspective at this morning, across all 299 00:17:47,720 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: of Bloomberg surveillance on television and radio. We are beyond honored, 300 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: Paul Sweeney and myself to have a gentleman who is 301 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: the only gentleman I would like to talk to on 302 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: this bridge from two thousand eight o nine to where 303 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: we are now, with bankers defending City Group at ugliest 304 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: negative eight billion operating income than positive fourteen billion bailout 305 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: operating income up now, Mike Mayo to twenty three billion 306 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: of operating income. Do these bankers come before Maxine Waters 307 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: minting money look at night and day versus before the 308 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: financial crisis or during the financial crisis, and what you've 309 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: seen so far. So far, we've had four CEOs testify, 310 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: and there's a contrast between three of those and one other. 311 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: And so Bank America they said they recognized the damage 312 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: caused by the company. Morgan Stanley, the CEO, said, if 313 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: not for the support attack payers for a Right Night 314 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 1: survived and City Group CEO said it was a searing 315 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: x And moynihan went right after ken Lewis secondarily here 316 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: talking about country Wise that it's not my faults, my 317 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: predecessor that fought this from that was one of the 318 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: worst acquisitions. There's a strivancy to tone that the three 319 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: of us, we've all the combined three of us folks 320 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: in the studio have been in forty two thousand three 321 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: D twelve conference calls. This isn't a normal conference call, 322 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: is it. This is pretty unique? But in terms of 323 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: being night and day. There's one statistic that really sums 324 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: up the strength of the banking industry the fixed income market. 325 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: There's a trillion dollars of bank bonds out there and 326 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: the spread of those bank bonds in the last decade 327 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: of decline from seven hundred basis points down to a 328 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: hundred basis points. So if somebody says the banking industry 329 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: is at big risk today, what we would say back 330 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: to them is we have one trillion dollars of bank 331 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: bonds that disagree. That's right. So, Mike, what would be 332 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: a success for these bankers coming in front of the 333 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: Democratic House. They haven't had to do it since the 334 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: financial crisis. This could get ugly. It's starting out pretty 335 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: calm here. What would you define a successful day for 336 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: these banks CEOs? A successful day for the seven banks 337 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: eato us that are testifying is that there's no headlines, 338 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: there's not many articles. By the time we get to 339 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: the weekend, there certainly will be a lot of press 340 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: on this today and tomorrow. But make no mistakes. So 341 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: it's one misspoken word or one dad answer that could 342 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: be really damaging the reputation. Where do you think they 343 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: might be most exposed. Is it diversity and hiring, is 344 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: it lending? Is it compensation? Where do you think they're 345 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: most exposed? Well, I think compensation is an issue not 346 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: when banks perform well, but when they don't perform well, 347 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: because that gives a perception of a system that's not fair. 348 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: And so we published a report about the Estate Street 349 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: CEO over the last nine years made a hundred fifteen 350 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: million dollars even when their primary target got worse, not better. 351 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: Its predecessor. It's predecessor, So you know this, But this 352 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: is the realm. This should be the realm of shareholders. 353 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: So you know nature abhors a vacuum wash and DC 354 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: loves one. So if shareholders don't step in and control compensation, 355 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: then it's an invitation for Congress to say something about it. Okay, 356 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: we got in a couple of gun number of minutes 357 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: before this. We're gonna go back to David Solomon of 358 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: goldn Sex here when he steps in. But Michael Mayo, 359 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: this is critical and this goes back to you for 360 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: you know you you were Jackson, it was a bank 361 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: of the United States. When you begin securities analysis, right, 362 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it's always a tension of Washington in the 363 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: mean capitalist New York City banks that this goes back 364 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: to Jape Moore, goes back to Jefferson. I would suggest 365 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: as well, that's never going to change. So what is 366 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: Mr Corbett through Mr Solomon alphabetically, what's their best outcome 367 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: today knowing it's never gonna change. Well, you know, I 368 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: think Jamie Diamonds, uh, you know, ceol in the Any 369 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: report just came out last week, sums it up. He goes, 370 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes the job of a banker is to not be 371 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: liked because you need to say no sometimes. And you 372 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: know what when Congress people say, you know, make more loans, well, 373 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: lending is an output, an outcome, not a decision. You 374 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: can make as many loans as you want, and that 375 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: got us into the subprime crisis for sure. So I 376 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: think it's just a matter of it's a natural sometimes 377 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: a healthy tension. You don't want banks learning too much 378 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: because then you do, indeed have a financial crisis. I 379 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: was surprised Paula didn't mention the number of construction workers 380 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: that are going to tear down and rebuild the Palace. 381 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: I mean I looked it up. The Ocean Bay apartments 382 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: or whatever in Rockaway Beach and there it is on 383 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: Google is is is. One of the bankers mentioned that 384 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: as well, Paul, So, Michael, do you think that, I 385 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: mean again, post financial crisis, a big layer of regulatory 386 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: oversight came up to the global banking industry, the US 387 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: banking industry. Do you feel like we're at a point 388 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: now where they can start pushing back and saying, listen, 389 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: we the system is much safer now, we can pull 390 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: back some of those regulations off of the cities and 391 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: the JP Morgan's or do you think the CEOs don't 392 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: even want to go there? Well, I don't. I think 393 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: you're the way you phrased it, pushing back. I don't 394 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: like that phrase. I think preserve the safety and soundness 395 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: of the banking into stree. It's stronger than it's been 396 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: in decades. Having said that, you know, improve the efficiency 397 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: of regulation, improve the transparency of regulations, improve the effectiveness 398 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: of regulations. Regulators did a great job. Regulators should take 399 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: a victory laugh. But now it's time for a look 400 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: back and say, hey, can we have this effectiveness of 401 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: regulation better? How did the new mergers fold into this 402 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: BB and T and whatever? I mean? They were beginning 403 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: to see what you've predicted for years, and you know 404 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: those of your ILK insecurities analysis, they're all gonna fold up. 405 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: They're gonna roll up. Not Canada like, but the big 406 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: banks are gonna get bigger in America just because they 407 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: get the technology technological edge. Don't think well here in 408 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: the tenure anniversary of the financial crisis, and the immediate 409 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: catalyst for banks getting better, it was banks, you know, 410 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: pretty much almost failing, and then banks got much bigger 411 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: before they were really equipped for that size. In the 412 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: last couple of years, you're seeing now that Goliath is winning. 413 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: The largest banks have become more efficient and generating more 414 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: deposits because of the scale of technology. So if you 415 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: if you can't beat them, join them. And you had 416 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: the B B and T and and SunTrust merger. The 417 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: first reason the game was gave was to get better 418 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: economies from technology. Soldier with us today, Michael Mayo, where 419 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: us with Wells Fargo. They are not in attendance today. 420 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 1: Of course, we wouldn't want Mr Mayo to comment on 421 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: Wells Fargo executive policies and such. We're listening to bankers 422 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: of eight banks, including State Street and Bank of New 423 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: York Melon as well. We await Mr Solomon of Golden Sex, Paul, 424 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,959 Speaker 1: when you try to squeeze in one more question, extinguished 425 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: Mayo exactly, and Michael's seen this come and go many 426 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: cycles to the banking sector. Is there risk now that 427 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: we have a more progressive part of the Democratic Party 428 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: in the House, Now, does that increase the risk for 429 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: more regulation on the banks? Not less? Well, the importance 430 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: of the hearing today by the seven CEO s is, 431 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: you know, sound bites can turn into policy, ideas can 432 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: turn into presidential agendas, can turn into legislation, which turns 433 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: into regulation. So this might be a preview of what's 434 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: to come during next year residential election. And beyond dumb question, 435 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: is President Trump pro big bank? You know that was 436 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: a very tribal question you just asked. You know, I'm serious, 437 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: Like it's almost tribal now either four big banks, you're 438 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: against big banks? And can we just be pragmatic whatever 439 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,479 Speaker 1: best for the economic system is what we should support. Okay, 440 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: Mike bo with us with Wells Fargo. We're honor to 441 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: have them with us.
