Find the Bloomberg P M 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: L Podcast on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, and Bloomberg dot com. 7 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: So we were talking about that healthcare bill that was 8 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: just released, and we want to bring in Max Niece 9 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: and bloombergad Fly columnists covering all things healthcare and Max 10 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: as Greg was just saying, healthcare shares are surging, Can 11 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: you give us a sense of what in this bill 12 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: that was just released caused this rally? Why is this 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: being viewed as a positive for the healthcare industry? Um? 14 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: You know, so I'm just like everybody else, including a 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: large number of Republican senator I'm still making my way 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: through the bill yet, I I you know, i'd like 17 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: to say I have, but but not quite yet. I'm 18 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: kind of just jumping through looking for snippets. Um. So 19 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: what it looks like is that this isn't kind of 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: a dramatic departure from what the House passed. There are 21 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: some modest differences to the subsidies that low income people get, 22 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: and um, some of the Medicaid cuts are deeper in 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: the long run, but this doesn't diverge dramatically from what 24 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: people know already. And I guess resolving some of that 25 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: uncertainty might, um might be causing some of that jump 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: in stock rise based on what you know, how likely 27 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: is this to be reconciled with the House bill and 28 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: actually make it to the President's desk. Um, You know, 29 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: I I think that the issue isn't gonna be reconciling 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: it with the House bill in this case, it's whether 31 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: it can get through the Senate, because I mean, the 32 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: really kind of salient detail here is that the Republican 33 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: senators who have to vote for have not seen it yet, 34 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: most of them, so they're kind of grappling it in 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: the same way that um, we are as reporters and 36 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: and the country is right now, so there are there 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: are things that some you know, conservatives aren't gonna like 38 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: parts of this bill, and moderates as well. It's the 39 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: same problem that's been there for the start politically, so 40 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: that's going to have to be worked throughing in a 41 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: pretty short time period. If they want to vote on 42 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,839 Speaker 1: it next week. Well, and let's talk about the fact 43 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: that U. S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said 44 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: that he would like a vote to come next week. 45 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: And given the fact that it's just being released now, 46 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 1: even to some Republican the Republicans own members in the Senate, UM, 47 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: why do they want to rush this? Um? I think 48 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: the kind of thing we've learned over the course of 49 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: the process with the House polls that this bill doesn't 50 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: or this particular effort, policy effort does not age well, 51 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: does not hold up to UM. Scrutineer right Eric, particularly well, 52 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: it does some things that are are going to be 53 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: very unpopular, including weakening protections for those with pre existing 54 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: conditions in a different way than the House will, but 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: but a heres to still do so, and cutting Medicaid 56 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: really substantially, and that's not popular at all. Medicaid do 57 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: doesn't just cover low income people, it also covers kids 58 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: and a majority of people that are in nursing homes 59 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: in the United States. So, um, you know, they the 60 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: point of kind of rushing the process is potentially getting 61 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: less political backlash actually getting it done. For people. Senators 62 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: go back to their districts and get uh and get 63 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: another earful about the bill. Well that's the thing, right, 64 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: because of the congressional recess. Yeah, exactly. So Congress is 65 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: out after next week for a for a pretty long one, 66 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: and then again in August. So they really want to 67 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: get this done as quickly as they can. Just to 68 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: play devil's advocate. A lot of Republican Senate leaders have 69 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: come out and said, look, uh, more money does not 70 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: necessarily mean better healthcare, and they're trying to allocate cash 71 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: and and and create the right incentives to create a 72 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: better health care system. What's your response to that, Um, 73 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: I think that's just kind of typical uh rhetoric that 74 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: you hear. I mean, of course, government is not always 75 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 1: the most efficient way of allocating money. That I don't 76 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would argue that. But when you 77 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: cut in this case, Medicaid by more than eight hundred 78 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: billion dollars, people lose a lot of healthcare. That that's 79 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: just that's not an equation you can really contest or 80 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: argue with. And the same goes for subsidies for health insurance. 81 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: Let's get a little more detail from Max and Neeson 82 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: are a Bloomberg Gadfly columnist. Listening to both a Senator 83 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: Schumer and Senator McConnell, I wanted to begin by asking you. 84 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: Senator Schumer talked about affordable insurance, and I'm wondering he 85 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: made certain claims about this will do away with affordable 86 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: insurance for people. Is that accurate? I think it will 87 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: definitely be accurate for for certain subsets of the population. 88 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: And the ones that come to mind are people that 89 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: get subsidies under the A C A that will get 90 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: less generous subsidies under under they change the acronym. I 91 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: think it's the B C R A now UM. And 92 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: the other thing one that comes to mind is people 93 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: that lose coverage under the Medicaid Expansion or Medicaid in general, 94 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: and also people that have certain conditions. While the Senate 95 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: bill appears to maintain a prohibition against charging people with 96 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: pre existing conditions more which was states could wave that 97 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: under the House version, it does maintain um, the ability 98 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: for states to get rid of the requirement that states 99 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: cut that ensures cover a certain essential health benefits like 100 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 1: mental health care, for example, So you can't charge someone 101 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: with mental health care issues more. But you can offer 102 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: a plan that doesn't have mental health care in it 103 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: and make it much less expensive, and the plan with 104 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: that kind of care much more expensive, so effectively with people, 105 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: it's those sort of long term expensive issues. Health health 106 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: care will become unaffordable potentially in some states. Maxim struck 107 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: by the GOP's UH sent a proposal to include an 108 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: additional fifty billion dollars over four years to stay abilize 109 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: insurance exchanges. This was exactly the provision the Republicans have 110 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: criticized in the past, is a way to keep insurers 111 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: in the marketplace. Why did they reverse course and include this? 112 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: I think it was an effort to kind of build 113 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: a broader consensus around the bill. Um, you know, some 114 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: more near term stability and and more cynically, Um, it 115 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: just means that going into the next couple of electoral 116 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: cycles you have a more stable market. A lot of 117 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: the impact of this bill the kind of big shift 118 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: from the households that it's pushed out further, so the 119 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: big Medicaid cuts, the ending of the Medicaid expansion, it's 120 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: pushed out a little bit further. The big changes to 121 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: the A c A as well. UM, and that's kind 122 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,119 Speaker 1: of evidence by these these funds. So that might create 123 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: a problem with the conservative wing of the party. They 124 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: they especially hated these payments when they were part of 125 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: the A C. A. They won't like it. That something 126 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: that could be described, I imagine as something of a 127 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: bailout by by that wing of the party. It's now 128 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: in this bill, so that might be a problem. Thank 129 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: you so much for joining us Maxnis and Blueberg Gadfly columnists. 130 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: UH you can follow his work at Bloomberg dot com 131 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: slash gad fly, and I'm sure Max you will be 132 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: opining on this proposal. Center Republic Industry Itierate did release 133 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: their healthcare proposals to replace Obamacare, providing an additional fifty 134 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: billion dollars over four years to stabilize insurance exchanges. This 135 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: is the plan that has been long awaited that Senate 136 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would like to have a vote 137 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: on as soon as next week, and it will affect 138 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: a broad swath of the US economy. Right now, we 139 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: are looking at oil prices that are finding some stability 140 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: after a pretty significant swoon, after falling to the lowest 141 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: levels UH in ten months. It is rising just a 142 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: bit with the value of crude going to forty three 143 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: a little over forty three dollars a barrel. To get 144 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: a better sense of the direction of these prices, I 145 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: want to bring in John killed Off. He has founding 146 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: partner of again at Capital in New York. John, have 147 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: we seen the lows this year? Four crew? It's hard 148 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: to tell at this moment not to uh cop out 149 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: or avoid your question. Yesterday's sell off to two oh 150 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: five a barrel with significant it matches up with the 151 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: low from November. So there's a potential for technical traders 152 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: to see that as a double bottom, and I'm having 153 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: to abide that at the moment. But really I think 154 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: the path of least resistance is still lower down into 155 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: the upper thirties, upper thirties. How long would it stay there, 156 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: that's a good question, PIM. I think it would stay 157 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: there um for a good amount of time. What the 158 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: market is right now in the process of doing is 159 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: is calling and taking OPEC to task for not doing enough, 160 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: so they're challenging. The market gets into these modes where 161 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: they challenge the producing community, sometimes on the upside. Right 162 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: now it's on the downside to react and the statis 163 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: apparently are scrambling right now to to find the way 164 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: to react to this and to get the prices back up. John, 165 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: when I talk with bulls oil bulls, they say, look 166 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: Saudio Saudi Arabia in particular has great incentive to prop 167 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: up and give a floor to oil prices based on 168 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: the fact that they're planning to do an initial public 169 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: offering for Saudi Aramco in the near future. What do 170 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: you say to those traders who still have faith that 171 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: there will be a floor because of those political incentives. Well, 172 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: I think that the sadis you know, bristle at having 173 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: to go with a loan. They've they've been carrying most 174 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: of the load since the beginning, and now they're having 175 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: to deal with potentially covering as the as the oil 176 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: Minister put it, Libya and Nigeria, whose production in a 177 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: surprise I think to the market and certainly to OPEC 178 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: and the non OPEC participants have come rowing back. They're 179 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: back to really full output from being near zero for 180 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: the better part of the year or two oh in 181 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: the Historically, the Staudies reach a point where they won't 182 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: do it, and they instead turned press the market by 183 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: over supplying it. Now, this Stadio ramfil thing is a 184 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: new wrinkle. And with the new Crown Prince and the 185 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,239 Speaker 1: new oil Minister, UH, they seem more committed to engineering 186 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: a higher price, potentially through more cutbacks. But boy, it's 187 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: a bitter pill for them to swallow, and historically in 188 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: my experience with them, they don't swallow it. Well, John, 189 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: to bring into the equation the swing producer, the United 190 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: States and its role in uh not only domestic energy markets, 191 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: but now international energy markets as an exporter, well that 192 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: and that is the big monkey wrench that has also 193 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,599 Speaker 1: been thrown into this OPAC non OPEC agreement UM. And 194 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: also to keep pointing out to everyone that while the 195 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: shale players get all the glory and the headlines, you know, 196 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: like a big wide receiver on a football team, we've 197 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: had a lot of production increases from the Gulf of 198 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: Mexico this year from projects that have been on in 199 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: the works for years, and they're that production is not 200 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: going away no matter how low prices go. And a 201 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: lot of the shale plates have hedged a lot of 202 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: their production when prices got back up into the that 203 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: production is going to be a lot more stickier this 204 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: time around. And as you said, pim Uh China in 205 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: particular has sought out the U S shale producer oil 206 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: and we've been exporting increased the masts to China again 207 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: in a battle from market share with the Saudis that 208 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: they bristle at historically, that they don't accept and that 209 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: they end up fighting back on. So that's that's the 210 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: issue I had with all of this, and I really 211 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: think there's a potential, uh for the production war to breakout, 212 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: not a price war. You know, John, just wanted to 213 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on some of these leveraged shale producers 214 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: in the US, UH. You know, they they are thought 215 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: as the swing producer and having the upper hand frankly, 216 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: but if you look at the debt markets, particularly energy 217 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: junk bonds, they have dropped more than three and a 218 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: half percent so far this month, and there's a lot 219 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: of concern that we're going to see another wave of carnage. 220 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: What's your what's your feeling in that space? We start 221 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: seeing largely the washout of the weakest players. No, I 222 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: think if we get down into the upper thirties, they'll 223 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: be more of that to come. Enough of their production. 224 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: Any of these folks to get them through. I think 225 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: another episode like that. Um, and all right, we're gonna John, 226 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: we gotta break in, John Kildeff. I want to thank 227 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: you breaking in. John Killoff is the founding partner of 228 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: Again Capital. Let's get a little bit more detail about 229 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: this potential deal. I want to bring in Dina Camel 230 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: Middle East aviation reporter joining us from Dubai and Michael 231 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: Sasso airline reporter from Bloomberg News joining us from Atlanta. Dina, 232 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: maybe you could speak a little bit about what Squtar 233 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: bring to any kind of shareholding and what is the 234 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: connection between Cutar Airways and global air travel. Yes, high there, Um, Actually, 235 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: this is not the first time that we're seeing Cutar 236 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: Airways go into this type of venture, and already in 237 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: in April, we saw the Cutar Airways CEO of Rebecca 238 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: say that he was thinking of adding one more acquisition 239 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: to his portfolio of you know, many many airlines and 240 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: many previous purchases. Um. So today's announcement is actually one 241 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: in a series of acquisitions that the airline has already done. Um. 242 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: The first one was, you know, gradually building up a 243 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: stake in British Airways. Parents I g UH. They've also 244 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: recently tooken up, taken up ten percent of latam um. 245 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: So they've been pursuing an organic growth. And this latest 246 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: interest in in American sort of completes the triangle of 247 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: of trying to capture traffic from across the Atlantic. I 248 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: want to bring in Michael here. So cut Our Airways 249 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: has been criticized by American airlines for unfair competition. What 250 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: does this potential investment in American airlines do with respect 251 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: to the rivalry here? Well, I think that's the big question. Um, 252 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: there's some you know, I've heard some analysis that maybe 253 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Cutter is trying to get a foothold in this controversy 254 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: in the United States. You may be aware that all 255 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: three of the US major US airlines, including American Delta, 256 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: UH and UH and United Airways United Airlines all have 257 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: trying to bring a trade case against Cutter and Emirates 258 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: and ATA Airways, suggesting that they're unfairly flooding the US 259 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: market with with cheap flights, that they're being subsidized by 260 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: their home governments. I mean, there's a there's a thought 261 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: out there that maybe this could be some attempt to 262 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: influence that process. Uh. Some could they have some influence 263 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: in with the Trump administration or some influence with American maybe, Uh, 264 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: but that's just kind of spot analysis. Well, and we're 265 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: not exactly sure yet. Well, and you talk about the 266 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: conflict between Cutter Air and some of the US airlines, 267 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: but the conflict with Cutter goes much beyond that. I mean, 268 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: recently we've seen a lot of news coming out of 269 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: the Middle East with respect to Saudi Arabia and it's 270 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: worsening relationship with Cutter as well as with the U 271 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: s Dina. Can you speak a little bit about how 272 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: this type of investment complicates that or is uh perhaps 273 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: despite that or as a result of that. I mean, 274 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: just to remind people, cut Our Air is state owned. Yes, 275 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: that's that's correct. It might be a little bit too 276 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: early to stay at at this point. Um, how this 277 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: plays into the geopolitical tensions that that cuts are is 278 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: facing at the moment um. As you correctly pointed out, 279 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: cut Our the nation is being isolated by four other 280 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: neighboring Arab countries Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UM, Bahain and the 281 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates UM for who accused Cutter, UM for 282 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: supporting UM Islamic terrorism and financing extremists UM, which are 283 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: allegations that that cut our denies UM and and and 284 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: in the meantime, they've also closed down UM their airspace 285 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: to all Cutari flights. So let's just put cutter airways. 286 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: UH in a very difficult situation. UH, it's it's had 287 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: to face longer reroutes, very expensive reroutes around that airspace. UM. 288 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: So the idea that it's now trying to UM solidify 289 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: its partnerships, you know, with one World members UM and 290 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: and basically trying to diversify its streams of of of 291 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: revenue so that it's not reliant on any one part 292 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: of the world too heavily UM for where it's earnings 293 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: come from. UM AND. I think that move ties in 294 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 1: with the political pressure that it's that it's facing here 295 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: in the region. Already, it's been denied access to eighteen 296 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: destinations in those four countries that are imposing the ban, 297 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: so there's a sense that it wants to diversify and 298 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: and and spread itself across regions. Well, I want to 299 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: thank you very much both of you for really giving 300 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: us some detail about what is going on. Dina kamel 301 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: is our Middle Eastern aviation reporter. She joins us from Dubai. 302 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: Michael Sassau, our airline reporter, coming to us from Atlanta. 303 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: Let's turn our attention now to the big topic of 304 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: asset price inflation. Brentan Brown is the chief economist and 305 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: head of economic research for Mitsubishi u f J Securities. 306 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: He is also the author of a Global Monetary Plague, 307 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: Asset Price Inflation, and Federal Reserve Quantitative Easing. Good to 308 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: have you with us here in our studio. Thanks for 309 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: being here. Maybe you just can begin by talking about 310 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: this idea of bubbles and asset price inflation. How is 311 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: it defined and how should we be applying those concepts 312 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: to what we see in the stock and bond in 313 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: commodity markets currently. So, asset price inflation is the unleashing 314 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: of irrational forces in markets by monetary distortions. And what 315 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean by that is interest rates being pressed way 316 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 1: below natural neutral level and to expand. And why that's happening, 317 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: I would say over the last twenty years and especially 318 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: the last ten years, pressure of globalization China coming into 319 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: world markets pushes prices down, which in general most people 320 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: gain from In terms of our real living standards. The 321 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: FED and other central banks have been trying trying to 322 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: get to this two percent inflation standard. Goodness knows where 323 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: it came from, and certain not in a Federal Reserve Act. 324 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: Nobody's ever mandated two percent inflation. But the Fed, somehow, 325 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: out of its own wisdom, decided two percent inflation. But 326 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: if you aim for two percent inflation when the natural 327 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: rhythm of prices is actually downwards, you can only do 328 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: that by by pushing rates way low, very low, and 329 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: keeping them very low. And that's that creates a desperation 330 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: for yield. And that desperation for yield shows up in 331 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: all these areas of of of irrational forces gaining the 332 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: upper upper force. So Brendan, it's been about five years 333 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: of people warning about as at price bubbles and the 334 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: potential demise of the financial system when they collapse. And 335 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: here we are twenty seventeen. The feed is starting to 336 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: high rates, and you do see stock prices climbing higher. 337 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: While there are some jitters in the high O bond market, 338 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: for example, because of oil prices, we have not seen 339 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: an implosion. Does that mean that it's not going to happen? 340 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: I would make two points here. I think, first of all, 341 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: the monetary force or the monetary monetary distortions this equilibrium, 342 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: I would say, have actually been growing UM in the 343 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: last eighteen months. First, we had for yelling FED last 344 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: year walking back from rate rises because of a China shock. 345 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: This year we've had the surprise for for Trump administration 346 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: did nothing to change matters in the FED, whereas there 347 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: were expectations that they may, and we've had the ECB 348 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: and the b o J merrily going on with their 349 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: QUI expansions and negative rates or though that had been 350 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: some expectations that would all slow down. So if anything, 351 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: we've had an increase in this monetary stimulus. As we 352 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: listen to some of these policies in these House and 353 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: the Senate hearings, how much do you pay attention as 354 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: an economist? How much does this way on your growth 355 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: outlook and the way you assess you as economy well, 356 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: the whether the fiscal plans and the tax cut move 357 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: ahead is one of the factors go into the economic outlook. 358 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: But I do tend to think that the importance of 359 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: UM shouldn't be exaggerated. UM. At best, it looks as 360 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: if what we're getting here is going to be some 361 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: sort of temporary tax cut rather than permanent. But haven't 362 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 1: you've written that they've that the Trump administration as well 363 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: as the Republicans in Congress, they've squandered an opportunity in 364 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: another area. But maybe this is all conflated in some way. Yeah, 365 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if one looks at the trio of what's 366 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: making up for Trump administration program now um of infrastructure, 367 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: tax reform, health, the big gap in all of this is, 368 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: of course, anything on the monetary side. We have a 369 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: tremendous as we were discussing earlier, monetary distortion going on 370 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: at the FED, aiming for two percent inflation target, long 371 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: term interest rate controls, and nothing is on foreseeable legender 372 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: to change any of this. And that's you know, you 373 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: only have to read Milton Freeland's Capitalism Freedom to to 374 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: realize that any agenda of economic reform and unleashing forces 375 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: in a capitalist economy has to start with monetary reform. 376 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: You know, I'm struck by what JP Morgats Bob Michael 377 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: said earlier today on Bloomberg Television, which is, at some 378 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: point some of some of President Trump's policies will get 379 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: past and there will be an upside surprise with healthcare. 380 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: For example, healthcare is almost eighteen per cent of the 381 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: U S economy, and we do see healthcare share surging 382 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: on the prospect that there will be some solidification of 383 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: what the outlook is for healthcare in the US. But 384 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: you're saying any step they take will probably be incremental 385 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: and won't necessarily have uh that material of it of 386 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: an impact on the on the growth outlook in terms 387 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: of overall growth outlook. Yes, I mean, I think the 388 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: main growth positive aspect of the Trump fiscal agenda is 389 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: the cut in corporation tax, which will bring some economic 390 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,719 Speaker 1: activity back from low tax jurisdictions abroad, whether it's Canada 391 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: or other places in and that in the longer term 392 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: will boost economic activity in the United States. By the way, 393 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: that will put some pressure upwards on wages. I mean, 394 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: these these measures to boost production in the United States 395 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: basically come to increased demand for US labor. It's not 396 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: necessarily going to be as positive as maybe Wall Street 397 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: imagines for earnings and equities. You know, I've heard so 398 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: many people talk about what will or won't boost inflation, 399 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: and so many people have gotten this so wrong. Do 400 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: you find yourself questioning what will actually lead to higher 401 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: wages is given the frustration and lack of understanding of 402 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: why they e remained so stagnant. I I don't know. 403 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: I don't believe that wages are a key element to 404 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: look for in an inflationary process. I think the inflationary 405 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: process is in this cycle is asset prices. And I 406 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: think also we have an inflationary dimension in goods and 407 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: services markets, but it's not immediately apparent. And what I 408 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: mean by that is that if you measured inflation today 409 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: in the United States, and say way as it was 410 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: measured in the fifties and sixties or any time before that, 411 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: without all this hedonic price adjustment, today's inflation rate would 412 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: be three and a half to four percent UM. So 413 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: so there is an inflation there. If you have asset 414 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: price inflation was always going to be good inflation alongside, 415 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: because it's part of the same phenomenon, but it's it's 416 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: not necessarily immediately apparent. Last question, Now we are awaiting 417 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: comments from President Trump, who is meeting with a big 418 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: technology company leaders in Washington. I just wanted to get 419 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: your sense, Brennan, going forward, do you agree with guests 420 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: on previously in this program that we have five more 421 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: years in this credit cycle. I I would never say 422 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: anything like that. I think we're we I hate to 423 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: say we're in a new, new era or new experiment. 424 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: But the enormity of this particular monetary distortion, with every 425 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: major central bank pursuing or having huge balance sheets and 426 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: interest rates so low low, is something we haven't encountered before. 427 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: We have encountered asset price inflation before, but for example, 428 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: size of asset price inflations is small. It's probably eight 429 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: in the last hundred years. And to find one with 430 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: this degree of a normality of of distortions, I can't 431 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: find um. Moreover, this is happening in an era when 432 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: there isn't much good economic news. You know, previous asset 433 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: price inflations have mostly been accompanied by fantastic economic good news, 434 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: whether it was the late nineteen nineties or with late 435 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: nineteen twenties. First time there isn't good news. So so 436 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: with a lot of differences, but if you asked me 437 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: for the bottom line, I think the new mare is 438 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: going to be more within the next two years rather 439 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: than five years.
