22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: Crude oil we've been talking about crew during the day

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: of oil is surging the most since April on speculation

Speaker 1: that OPEC has finally agreed to a cut in production.

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: I'm here. I want to put this to our next guest,

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the relationship between emerging markets and the price of oil.

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Karthik Shokaran is the director of Global Strategy at Eurasia Group,

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Most Influential. Thank you very much for being

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: with us. It's great to be here. Thanks for um.

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: So go ahead. What the links between being an energy

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: producer being an energy consumer, the price of energy and

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: what that means for emerging market economy some benefit, some

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: don't absolutely, I mean, I uh. There are a couple

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: of important points here that we've been looking at for

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: some time. One is that obviously there are a significant

37
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: number of emerging markets economies that are oil exporters, but

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: when you GDP weight them, the really important ones are

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: our importers, UH, China and most obviously increasingly in India's

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: up there as well. So a very large portion of

41
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: the fastest growing part of the world of East Asia

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: and South Asia basically consists of oil importers. And the

43
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: second point that I would make is that this particular

44
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: UM dropped in the price of oil is unlike previous

45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: ones insofar as it owes much more very positive supply

46
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: shop than a negative demand shop. That makes it very

47
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: different from what we saw after two thousand and eight UM.

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: I think the combination of those two UH is on

49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: balanced positive for most emerging markets, the most important and

50
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: influential ones UH in the global economy me but it

51
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: creates severe issues for some Venezuela Staudi Arabian Nigeria places

52
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: like that they're smaller, but their problems are big. Well.

53
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, when you look at the global economy

54
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: and global risks the markets are watching so closely, oil

55
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: is still a big one. Even at a time when

56
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: UM people are talking about going green and they are

57
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: and there's solar oils still can have make a big,

58
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: big difference. And because whether an export or importer, you

59
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: know that that price following as much as it has

60
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: can be a big plus or a big minus yeah,

61
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: And I think you know. One of the issues I

62
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: think in January and February this year, there are a

63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: number of things happening. In my sense was that at

64
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: the time we talked about it is that just some

65
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: degree the positive the entirety of the price impact from

66
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: the positive supply shock was being interpreted as being entirely

67
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: due to negative demand shock. That was probably that's probably wrong.

68
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: There are a couple of other specific issues that that

69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: that come up. One is the exposed sure of the

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: of the bank system, of financial system or broadly to

71
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: oil exporters, and this came up in the high yield

72
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: market in the United States for instance. UH. There may

73
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: be pockets in Canada, but our senses that overall the

74
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: exposure of the aggregate United States financial system to this

75
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: is UH, it is not is not as big. So

76
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: I think the market's kind of gotten on board this message.

77
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: Show the very sharp correlation be green oil up being

78
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: good for the markets is very very pronounced. The first

79
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: quarter that's dissipated to that's dissipated to some degree. I

80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: think what matters from hre on out is um, what

81
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: is the the extent to which the US has become

82
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: a swing supplier. It's also very important in the markets,

83
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: right because if you have prices that are contained in

84
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: the level where you have kind of positive demand positive

85
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: income effects, the financial shocks associated with some highly leverage

86
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: produce sears UH received gradually in an environmental or in

87
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: forty and sixty or something like that, that's probably okay.

88
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: If you get a much sharper rise or a much

89
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: faster rise, you bring the fedback and play UH. Other

90
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: center backs back and back and play UH. And if

91
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: you get a very sharp drop, I think at this

92
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: point it much likely to be more to a more

93
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: duty demand shock because the supply shock is already and

94
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: so kind of a big range is probably healthiest for

95
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: the markets to be mind, that also speaks to the

96
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: issue of national security, doesn't it, Because if the United

97
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: States ends up being the swing producer as you suggest

98
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: in the world's energy markets, then you also have political

99
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: interests that are aligned all over the world. And the

100
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: reason I mentioned emerging markets at the very beginning and

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: the link to oil is okay. When you, as an

102
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: investor buy into the emerging market theme, a lot of

103
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: times you end up buying a lot of stocks where

104
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: they're trading in Russia and they're trading in Brazil and

105
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: they are resource based stocks. But that may not be

106
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: the emerging market that you think of in your head,

107
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: because the emerging market that we want to maybe concentrate

108
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: on is you know, India, South Asia and other areas.

109
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Tell us about that. But absolutely, I think one of

110
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: the it depends a lot on asset class, because if

111
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: you buy an e t F and it says emerging

112
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: markets on that e t F, it doesn't necessarily mean

113
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: that you own what you think. They may own a

114
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: big energy company in Brazil and another energy company in Russia. Absolutely,

115
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: I'm just to degree that the a market cap waited,

116
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: some of these issues have have gone downe but absolute

117
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: I think it depends a lot of nasset class. It's

118
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: it's particularly true in external debt, which tends to be

119
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: very much more resource exporter heavy, uh in part because

120
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: those guys had revenues denominating dollars, so they issued in dollars. Um.

121
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: The local currency debt market is more evenly balanced, but

122
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: you don't have access to all the local currency debt

123
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: markets and the equity markets in particular. Um. You know,

124
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: there was a Tony, we have problem today. I was

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: reading the story about Saudi Arabia maybe diving to delay

126
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: that bond sale. Maybe this decision or not, the speculation

127
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: that the decision of bat Opec, maybe that has something

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: to do well. I mean, yeah, there's I mean, there's uh,

129
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: there's that. There's the you know, there's the Senate bill.

130
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: There are many the Senate veto. There are obviously lots

131
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: of specific tell people remind people what that is, because

132
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: this is I think the first time that the DeVito

133
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: has been overwritten. Yeah one um. And essentially it gives

134
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: us private us private citizens the ability to just do

135
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: um uh you know, Saudi government in courts for um

136
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: any part that the court may find. So as you

137
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: look out over the world, which emerging markets are looking

138
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: best to you? And I guess and and sort of

139
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: like what how do you gauge that? What are the

140
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: metrics you most look at? We know that when fed

141
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: rate hike, expectations go down and to market investors read

142
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: a relief. You know, eventually little raise rates even a

143
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: little bit. But for you, how are you deciding who

144
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: you like and who do you like best? Well? I think, um,

145
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, the issues are from a structural point of view,

146
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: what you want to see is UM, you know, a

147
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: reasonably healthy domestic economy, not a lot of hard currency indebtedness,

148
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: of foreign currency indebtedness, a central bank that has enough

149
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: credibility to be able to cut rates if you have

150
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: a slow down in the economy, and UM a kind

151
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: of a positive um you know, you know, a positive

152
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: association with with this big energy shock that's happened. So

153
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: if you're selling UH consumption goods to Western consumers, you're

154
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: probably better off then if you're selling oil to them,

155
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: you know that that kind of stuff. Now, within this

156
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: you'll have UM specific political risk where some things may

157
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: get better and some things may get worse. So in Brazil,

158
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: for example, UH, there us a dramatic political shift when

159
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy Russef got the got impeached, which then contributed to

160
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: the markets becoming U much happier. Along the way, the

161
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: central bank was able to hold interest rates UH, which

162
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: then you know, reduced people's fears that you'd have a

163
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: central bank that was hiking rates in the middle of

164
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: a third year of recession. So there are a lot

165
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: of idiosyncratic political factors that come into place here in

166
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: the Turkish case, you had, you had the cool you have,

167
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: you have geo political outcomes which kind of in part

168
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: offset any positive impetus that Turkey gets from being a

169
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: big oil importer. In They on the other hand, you

170
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: have a government that still has um some some some

171
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: reform impetus. It's an oil importer. And this kind of

172
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: a structural story of you know, the best bigger growth

173
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: in China, FDI, etcetera. When people make decisions about where

174
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: to invest their money in emerging markets, should they take

175
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: away from the transfer of power in Brazil as well

176
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: as the very has changes in government that we see

177
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: all like in India previously, as something that makes those

178
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: assets more valuable. I think political wis is enormously important

179
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: because or politics more broadly, because effectively, one of the

180
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: things you're buying is you're buying governance, You're buying state capacity,

181
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: you're buying the coheed, you're buying cohesion and confident. That

182
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: maybe why energy produce in the United States is perhaps,

183
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: as I said, like a swing producer. It's not a

184
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: bad swing producer to have, yeah, exactly. And I think

185
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: and it's a producer that's that's where decisions are governed

186
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: to a much weighted degree by market forces than by

187
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: cartild politics, which also makes it, uh, you know, a

188
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: healthier swing producer to have at a centro point of

189
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: the global economy. Thanks you so much for joining us,
