1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane, along 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferrell and Lisa brown Witz Jay Lee. We 3 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: bring you insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, 4 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple podcast, SoundCloud, 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course on the Bloomberg Terminal. 6 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: Joints and macro strategist at UPS the City. Talk to 7 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: me about what you think about what we've just heard 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: from the c c B. Yeah, well, I think the 9 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: market reaction makes sense. Um, we got fifty basis points, 10 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: which is kind of in line with you know, the 11 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: Bloomberg story that came out a few a few days ago. Clearly, 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: the points that you've been making about forward guidance apply 13 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: not just to you, not just to ECB, but to 14 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: other central banks as well. We've seen those quick turnarounds 15 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: and changes of mind. And and look, I mean that's 16 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: that's the inflation picture in Europe and globally. It just 17 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: forces central banks to front load. It really made no 18 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: sense to end up with negative rates at the end 19 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: of this meeting. And and and that's what that's what 20 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: the CB decided. To Tom's point, I think the fragmentation 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: tool is probably longer turn the more important, the more 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: important variable for the Euros. So we're gonna see, we're 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: gonna be anxious to see, um all the details from 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: vastly to me, what's so important here is nonlinearity. We're 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: getting to a restrictive state within the Central Bank of 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: the United States. We're nowhere near that with the e 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: c B. How nonlinears Leaguard's trip to the end of 28 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: two thousand twenty two, and in the next year, this 29 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: gets ever more difficult, doesn't it. It doesn't, It doesn't 30 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: get easy. I think the problem for the some of 31 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: the central banks that are front loading right now if 32 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: you get a front load and then get to neutral 33 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: and then stop, but inflation is not slowing than than 34 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: what do you do right? Uh? The CB is going 35 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: a little bit slower as you point as you're pointing out, 36 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: at least they're starting later. What we do think they 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: probably get to you know, at least one and a 38 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: half percent by by next year, which which is starting 39 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: to push them into into a neutral or restrictive as well. 40 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: But again, the key variable here's this, quite how quickly 41 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: can inflation start coming down? Uh? In order for those 42 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: central banks are actually to actually stop where they think 43 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna stop. And that's uh, that's probably you know, 44 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: that's probably the key question for the markets. And then 45 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: of course, I think increasingly from here it's it's you're 46 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: going to be the growth inflation mix, right, the growth 47 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: inflation mix has been very, very bad. Um, they're hoping 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: it's it's you know, they can hike without triggering and 49 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: even deep a downturn. But that's that's very mution open questions. 50 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: Well to that point, for silly, can this bounce we're 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: seeing in the euro stick Yeah, it's very hard to 52 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: see that stick for a very long time. And I 53 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: think the problem is it's not just about the fragmentation, right, 54 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: So what we'll see about the details of this instrument, um. 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: I with Tom's point in the sense that you know, 56 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: if it's open ended, that's a that's a very good signal, 57 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: um Right, if it's not, if it's not limited, um, 58 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: that might get us to let's say one or three, 59 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: one or three and a half. As far as the 60 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: you're a dollar. The problem is that some of the bigger, 61 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: bigger issues related to European growth are still there, right, 62 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: and this is gas supplies, um, and how what are 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: we going to do this winter? So in that sense, 64 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: I think investors, most investors do it. We talked to 65 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: are still um, quite negative on the euro and and 66 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: and probably you know, getting ready to sell to sell 67 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: the rallies. Um. The whatever the e CP does today 68 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: unfortunately doesn't really change the threat of a deeper downturn um, 69 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: you know, in the next six months if indeed we 70 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: moved to things like um, you know, energy supply rationing 71 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: in Europe. I have a silly, truly historic I'm been 72 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: able to say these words for a long time. Have 73 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: we cilly cetub break off? There have ups the first 74 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: interest right high from the e CP since twenty eleven, 75 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: giom Wack. We are honored that he is with us today, 76 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: is the chief economistic acts investment management and is arguably 77 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: the most read acts in market economics in Europe. So 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: let me ask you an open question right now, what 79 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: will you listen for X and or ex post from 80 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: Christine Lagarde. Um, it's going to be an interesting sell 81 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: for a cassing again because um, what they've actually done 82 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: today is by going to fifty, whereas they add actually 83 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: telegraphed twenty five. They've basically get rid got rid of 84 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: forward guidance. We used to have a pretty precise followard 85 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: guidance from from the CD and since they've done something 86 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: which is quite different from what they had announced last time. Accordingly, 87 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: uh they have just said that for the next moves, 88 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: for the next decisions, it will be a meeting by 89 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: meeting process. It would be completely data dependent. So I 90 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: guess journalists are going to try to extract as much 91 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: information from Casina gald as to what the next moves 92 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: are going to be, and I would expect her to 93 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: be extremely guarded because that's a new regime. Basically, we 94 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: have a central bank today which is saying us, okay, 95 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: I read the band aid, I got fifty and sorry, 96 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: I told you something different in June, and for one's 97 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: going to come up next well, we'll see. So it's 98 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: going to be I think an interesting debate. The other issue, 99 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: obviously is on the rules of engagement of of TPI S. 100 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,559 Speaker 1: It's you know, that is the name of the anti 101 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: fragmentation weapon. It's likely to be quite a big instrument 102 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: and possibly a convincing instrument on paper. We'll have the 103 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: details a bit later. But the question everyone has is 104 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: what are the conditions, what are the circumstances under which 105 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: you would actually activate it? And um consensus right now 106 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: and I agree with that is that given the nature 107 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: of the crisis currently in Italy, which is a home 108 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: ground political crisis, it's unlike clear that you could use 109 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: an antifragmentation instrument to deal with this. So I guess 110 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: Christinagan is going to have a lot of questions on 111 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: you know, what are exactly does engage controls? So you 112 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: know there's two points there. There's one on interest rates 113 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: and the other is on t P. I let's just 114 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: start with rates and finish up there. They're not going 115 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: to give us a guide towards what they're going to 116 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: do in September. I get all of that. Which she 117 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: needs to establish in this news conference is the reaction 118 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: function of the ECB. What they have led us to 119 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: believe is that the next move is a hike. They're 120 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: basically saying that further normalization of interest rates will be appropriate. 121 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: What they're not telling us is the size of that hike. 122 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: Do you have a decent understanding of what the economic 123 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: data points will be the influence the decision between twenty 124 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: five and fifty, and how we're meant to understand the 125 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: incoming data, internalize that and come up with a view 126 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: about what this means for ECB rate hikes. Well, clearly, 127 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: you know CPO prints that will be important even if 128 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: by September, honestly there's you know, we are unlikely to 129 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: have a big change actually into kind of information will 130 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: get from from CPO prints, So you probably probably want 131 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: to go up the pipeline basically of of inflationary pressure. 132 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: I think a key issue is what's going to happen 133 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: with with wage growth, and that's a problem we have 134 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: specifically in Europe because data reliable data on wage growth 135 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: come very very late and much later than they do 136 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: in the US. So when you have a central bankmaking 137 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: decisions basically on the risks of second round effects from 138 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: from inflation, you need to know exactly where the labor 139 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: market is going and whether or not we are seeing 140 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: some proper in a wage acceleration. So that is going 141 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: to be to be to be key and probably also 142 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: a side issue which is unfortunately very binary and which 143 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: actually probably explains why these doesn't want to give us 144 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: any kind of forward guidance is what the Russian is 145 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: going to do with gas, because news today is that 146 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: apparently there's at least a trickle of gas supply going 147 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: through north Stream one. But we never know whether or 148 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: not this is going to be uh, this to continue 149 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: for several month, whether or not will have another maintenance 150 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: period in which the Russians cuts access to gas, and 151 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: that is superbinary. In Europe. Basically the border between stagnation 152 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: and the proper significant recession is whether or not we 153 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: still have access to Russian gas by by the winter. 154 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: So that might actually be quite an important input in 155 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: their in their reaction function. You're just briefly then on 156 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: t P I. The conditionality around this hard to make 157 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: it cool at the moment, but best guess what do 158 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: you think it will be. I don't think it's going 159 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: to be big. I think it's going to be about, 160 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, the next generation YOU program is going to 161 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: be about you know, complying with the European surveillance physical 162 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: surveillance rules which actually at the moment have been have 163 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: been suspended. I don't think is going to be heavy. 164 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: The problem is that for those milestones to be ticked 165 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: for this to be for this even like contionality to 166 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: be complied with. You need a government. You need a 167 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: government in Italy that actually plays place according to the rules, 168 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: and that's a big Christian market the moment. Well, and 169 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: there's a conversation happening on our type top live blog 170 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: on the Bloomberg terminal right now about the fact that 171 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: you've got the fifty basis points, which appeases the hawks, 172 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: but you also got at the same time this tp I, 173 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: which appeases the doves, because then you have a crisis 174 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: management tool to ensure that the transmission is smooth. If 175 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't work as intended, does the ECP get stuck 176 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: here at zero? It's it's it's it's a possibility, I 177 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: would I would doubt it, because my impression is that 178 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: you know, they've raised the bar quite high. They really 179 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: really want to normalize. Now. It's true that once you've 180 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: hit zero, possibly the debate changes a little bit because 181 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: at the Goblin Council get a number of people, including 182 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: among the dogs, who never actually liked negative interest rate 183 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: in the first place. We've always thought they was controversial, 184 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: possibly counterproductive. Once you've brought post rates to zero, it's 185 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: a slightly different conversation. However, given the kind of inflation 186 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: we have the pipeline, it would take a lot, I 187 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: think for the CD two to stop normalizing from from 188 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: where we are right now. Okay, so maybe they won't 189 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: stop normalizing entirely, but how much do you think they'll 190 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: actually be able to normalize? What rate do you think 191 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: they will get to before the economy forces them to stop. 192 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: My forecast is that at the end of year there 193 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: at one percent, which is the lower end of the 194 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: range that they gave us for what they consider to 195 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: be um neutral rates. Uh So, end of twenty three, 196 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: if we avoid a catastrophe a link to to to 197 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: the gas situation, they might go to the middle of 198 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: that neutral range, around one fifty. But that would probably 199 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: the maximum of what I could expect. Then there is 200 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: a significant risk that they get stuck at one percent 201 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: if we we end up with a very significant slowdown 202 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: and if you wage growth desiderates instead of externating. But 203 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: the natural slope I think for the CP is to 204 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: really get at least into this neutral range, which is 205 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: at least I think I've been taking to you on 206 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: of for about ten years, and this is the first 207 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: time we've got to talk about right hike from the 208 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: e c BO. Thank you, Mark of Extra Investment Management. 209 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: We've got Mark Chandler Bonnockburn Chief Market Strategies here. Mark, 210 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: Tom and I were just talking about kind of what 211 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: we've seen from the e c B this morning, the 212 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: surprise fifty basis point rate hike. We saw strength initially 213 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: in the euro, but it seemed to be giving that up. 214 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: What are your takeaways? Yes, so I think you're right. 215 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: I think that the ECB surprised many people by hiking 216 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: fifty basis points. To Bloomberg had the leak earlier this weekend, 217 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: when the leak first came out and unsourced reports saying 218 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: that you know, officials close to the ECB are talking 219 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: about a fifty basis point hike, I recognize that as 220 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: a likely quid pro quote for the for what now 221 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: the Guard calls a TPI, the transmission protection instrument. I 222 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: think that the market had been set up for a 223 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: by the rumor sell the fact. In any event, you 224 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: think about what's happened. The euro rallied about ninety nine 225 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: and a half cents to about one oh two and 226 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: a half cent in the first three or four days 227 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: of this week, and so I thought this was a 228 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: short covering move. And I think now the focus shifts 229 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: to the stud of reserve, which is going to high grates, 230 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: most likely by seventy five basis points next week. That 231 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: means that the rate differential, the policy rate differential is 232 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: moving in the US is favored by twenty five basis 233 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: points this month. Okay, the rate differentials there, but also 234 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: it's about confidence in the economy and Mark Chandler, and 235 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: you've been so good about folding in foreign exchange dynamics 236 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: over to what g d P actually does. There's a 237 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: headline in the blur here where she says their run 238 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: rate is there's no recession in Europe. Do you buy that? Yeah? 239 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: I think you know that. I think is just the 240 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: typical kind of central bank talk. I mean, what's Cyple 241 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: Bank really forecast of recession like the FED doesn't. I 242 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: think that the odds of a European recession are in preasing, 243 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: but I think the odds of the U S re 244 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: session are increasing too. In Powell is not going to 245 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: say that next week. Do you have a call in 246 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: euro at Bannockburndeed, you you know, do you have it? 247 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: Can you give us a single point call five days 248 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: out in Euro five days out, I think we're gonna 249 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: be lower. I think that we're gonna be having to 250 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: go back and test at nine and nine and a 251 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: half cent area that we saw last week. And I 252 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: think I would expect that before the f O m 253 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: C meets and you know when they before they make 254 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: the decision at seventy five basis points a dollar goes 255 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: better bid. You know, besides the ECB, the other big 256 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: the other big thing today, of course, is that Italy 257 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: political crisis and those spreads are widening, and typically those 258 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: widening spreads works against the Europe. They a candidate for 259 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: the t P I a crisis tool. Well, you know, 260 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: I think that Leguard try to put the best face 261 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: on it, but first she told us it's a secondary tool. 262 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: The first tool is gonna be the flexibility with the 263 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: recycling or reinvesting of the emergency purchases they already made. 264 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: I think the euro going through yesterday's low, this is 265 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: really setting up a very poor technical condition for the 266 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: next few days. I mean, Paul I make jokes about it, 267 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: but I adore Clause Reggling, who I've seen twice in 268 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: the last six months. Who's at the absolute pivot point 269 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: of these discussions. He is an esteemed diplomat and economist 270 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: from Germany. And I can't fathom le Guard and Reggling 271 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: talking about the future of Italy. I can't imagine it's 272 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: it's always it seems like it's always a front and 273 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: center mark. So as we think about the US Federal Reserve, 274 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: we think about July, we train our attention on that. 275 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: In your mind, is a hunter basis points off the 276 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: table completely? Well, I think the market is pricing in 277 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: about a one in five chance it had taken place. 278 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: I think that the odds of it are really you know, 279 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: look at what happened today with the Philly Fed survey. 280 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: What a big myth, and so I don't think that. 281 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: I don't think this is going to stay of sedand 282 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: I think they just want to do a measured pace 283 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: seven fight. The market is giving them seventy five dabs points. 284 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: I think they want to take that. So what are 285 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: the key issues here? Uh? From your perspective, as you 286 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: think about kind of where this economy is going, you know, 287 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: how much credit do you give the Fed here? I 288 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: guess for trying to find that balance between fighting inflation 289 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: and preventing recession. I don't really see the FED pretty 290 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: much emphasis in the resistant recession. I mean they I mean, 291 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: I think Powells really says it right. I mean, I 292 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: think he says, we're really determined to curb inflation. We 293 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: hope we can, we can avoid a recession. To me, 294 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: that's like asymmetrical, like surrect perception. So I don't see 295 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: I don't see the FED really trying hard to avoid 296 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: a recession. I think they're more much more focused on inflation. 297 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, because so long these people 298 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: cried for a Voker moment, and now they've got a 299 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: Vocer moment and to get afraid of it. Mark Chan, 300 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: thank you so much. Too. Short of visit with Bannock 301 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: Burden this morning.
