1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio, news. 2 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: Single best idea and when the news changes, we change. 3 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 2: Yesterday we wrote David Gera in Rio and it was 4 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: a G twenty meeting and the muckety MUCKs get together 5 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: and all that, and it's a time for you know, 6 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: we played Barry Manilow Lola and copa cabana and all that, 7 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: and there's some lightness a caparina and where's David going 8 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: to dinner? And then just like that it changes into 9 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: deadly serious news. A link Tempco vote, Lockheed Martin missil 10 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: that goes at mock three. That's the headline. This thing 11 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: moves as fast as anything out there, one hundred or 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: whatever miles into Russian territory and the facts changes. We're 13 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: live on air headline and some mister Lavrov of Russia 14 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 2: move the markets. We try to get conversation previously scheduled. 15 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: Jeffrey you from B and Y and Jeffery you of 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: course talking about finance and investment. We asked jeff for 17 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 2: you do you have to look at geopolitics. 18 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 3: You can never ignore a geopolitics. So it's your fiduciary 19 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: responsibility to have those fundamental allocations. You know that premiure 20 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 3: within your asset allocation full stop. So that that I 21 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: think is the case in terms of why despite the 22 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 3: lack of a fiscal argument in the US, we still 23 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: see international investors being overweight US treasuries or at least 24 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: if I look at duration the tenure plus based on 25 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: our CUS Studio data, that hasn't been that much selling 26 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 3: over the last few weeks or so. And this is 27 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: another reason why you want to hold onto those treasuries 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: for now, it helps with the US sustain its fiscal spending. 29 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: But over the medium to longer term there's a story there. 30 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: But you want to overweight, to be weighting at these 31 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: assets even though it doesn't give you a strong yield, 32 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: or you worry about other forms of premium as well. 33 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 3: But then we fall back to diversification again. You want 34 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: to be diversified. You look at your portfolio, your overweight dollars, 35 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: overweight treasuries. Where are markets that you can afford to 36 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 3: add to your weightings decorrelated India is a very good example, 37 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: and that those are the other correlations we're looking. 38 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: At too, Jeff. For you bing why very typically and 39 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 2: I'm guilty of this, we really fight against it every day. 40 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: But the bottom line, folks, is gloom cells. Somebody worried 41 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: and their angst and they're wringing their hands. It's always better. 42 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: It just it works. So we really focus people that say, 43 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: you know what, we're optimistic. David Doyle has led the 44 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: charger on this at Macquarie. His notes very very constructive, 45 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 2: even if maybe it's getting along in the toothier three 46 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: percent real GDP five percent nomenal GDP. Here is David 47 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 2: Doyle or Macquarie, his optimism and the American consumer. 48 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: From what we've looked at when it comes to wage gains, 49 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 4: it's been broad based. So when you look at wages 50 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 4: as being the driver of consumption, that broad based wage 51 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 4: gains we think is propelling things across the spectrum of 52 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 4: income earners. Now you may see some disproportionate gains from 53 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 4: higher income earners due to the wealth effect from the 54 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 4: strength and equity markets, but overall we think it's almost 55 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: all income groups that are participating. 56 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: David Doyle at Macquarie really thanks to our team.
