1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. 2 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 2: The single best idea and the single best idea coming 3 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: out of this Friday into the weekend is really pay 4 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: attention to what smart people are writing. It takes some 5 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: time to write those essays. They don't just happen overnight. 6 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 2: Trust me, they're not using chat GPT. And the answer is, 7 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: what I'll be doing this weekend is thinking about our 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 2: conversations that we had, but also looking at essays in 9 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 2: real time. Late last night, Adam Posen of Foreign Affairs 10 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 2: Magazine and the Peterson Institute published a short, brilliant piece 11 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: on trade, like you know, like Paul Krugman would do, 12 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: urs Glenn Hubbard would do. Forget about the politics of it, Republicans, Democrats, 13 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: Just what do we know about trade? And I really 14 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: urge you to listen for that within our conversations. An 15 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: exhausting day, but just exhilarating with the quality of the 16 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: guests we had. Really tried to stay on the markets. 17 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: At Bank of America, she invented their quantitative ESG analysis. 18 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 2: She is their US equity strategist with a huge global reach. 19 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: Savita's Supermanian on the moment. 20 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 3: If you look back on what happened in prior periods 21 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 3: of protectionism, prior periods of stagflation, whatever we're heading into. 22 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: Value stocks outperformed treasury bonds by a massive margin. The 23 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: last thing you want to be stuck in during a 24 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: stagflationary environment is long duration bonds. They have no options, 25 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: whereas stocks, to me, are the best place to be. 26 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 3: In an environment where you need those options, companies can 27 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: extend or shorten their duration. We saw this with Meta 28 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 3: and Google in twenty twenty three. They both initiated dividends 29 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: and transition from being just pure growth to value. I 30 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: think this is a really interesting time to think about 31 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: value equities. Companies that are returning capital, like utilities, even 32 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 3: metals and mining, even you know energy companies that were 33 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 3: the dividends or sacro SANCD. I think those are areas 34 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: that you really want to think about. 35 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: Savina Supermanian. Now it's time for clinic. I want to 36 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: get this in before we get the Jordan Rochester. It's 37 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: just as simple as this. The financial media, out of convenience, 38 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: like think Bobby exel ro Out on billions, we conveniently 39 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: quote fixed income dynamics off of yield and is the 40 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: wonderful Liz Goldenberg. She once cut me over my left eye. 41 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: Here she threw a manalo blonic shoe at me and 42 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 2: the heel hit me just above the eye. Had two 43 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: stitches from Liz Goldenberg. She was so angry at me 44 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: because in times of crisis, yield doesn't matter, and what 45 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 2: matters is price. And in the old days, like in 46 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: my ute, we quoted yield and price together and then 47 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: that went away and the financialization in the last thirty 48 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: years or so. I can't emphasize enough. When you see 49 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: yield up, what people in bow ties are really saying 50 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 2: is price down. And that's where we are on this Friday, 51 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: and I have no idea where we'll be on Monday. 52 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: If you think you do, you know, just good luck 53 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: with that. The answer is every time somebody quotes yield, 54 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: think price down, because that's really what's going on here. 55 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: Whether you're Jamie Diamond or somebody with a Christmas Club 56 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: account at JP Morgan. Jordan Rochester does not have a 57 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: Christmas Club account at a big bank. He's at Missouo, 58 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: hardwired into the flows around the world, particularly from China 59 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: and his Japan and London. Jordan Rochester on flows. 60 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 4: Well, my key can ERNs earlier this week was about 61 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 4: dollar funding because the whole world was facing such higher 62 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: tariff rates. For US, what you're going to see is 63 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 4: that exporters to the US were no longer going to 64 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 4: receive their dollar receipts, and then dollar funding would become 65 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 4: an issue. The only good news that I can give 66 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 4: you is that you just had a record Q one 67 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 4: imports in America and so a lot of these exporters 68 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 4: around the world will be sitting on a dollar cash 69 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 4: pile that's a little bit more healthier than usual. Now 70 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: we've had this ninety day reprieve at ten percent tarif rates. 71 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 4: I do see the flows of commerce still taking place 72 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 4: between Europe and the rest, but the problems with China 73 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 4: with these extreme tariffs that we have. We've got one 74 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 4: hundred and forty five percent tarifrate on China. It's the largest, 75 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 4: one of the largest trading partners in the world with 76 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: the US, and so you're going to see a dollar 77 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 4: quizy issue at some point unless we have a climbed down. 78 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: Jordan Rochester of Mazoo and again their team is outstanding, 79 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: dominant constant, Stephen Roshudo and Jordan Rochester. Look for their published, 80 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: Look for their work, I should say published this weekend. 81 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: You'll see some of those headlines out on the Bloomberg. 82 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: I think we'll leave it at that. What I know 83 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: is I got a euro at one fourteen. I think 84 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: I just had a one fifty two one excuse me, 85 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: four p fifty two four point fifty three ten year yield. 86 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: Let me know if you know. We're going to be 87 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 2: on Monday. Right now, we're on YouTube, podcasts and of 88 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: course all of the work we do. Thank you for 89 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: an exhausting week and for your attention to single best idea.
