Speaker 1: high conviction. We moved to Job's Day. First of all,

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: I do want to mention the series of headlines out

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: of Brazil are simply stunning. We're not gonna dwell on

38
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: this a lot hereay, but markets explode higher. Petro bruss

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: rises eighteen percent. Is president Lula Mike? Is it unfair

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: to say under house arrest? Uh, It's hard to know

41
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: his exact status. He has been detained by the police

42
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: for questioning. They took him to the airport for security reasons.

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: So question it isn't exactly care what he is doing

44
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: or status. Brazilian real is stronger. We've had a wonderful

45
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: morning looking at our economic history, the broader themes Mickey,

46
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: Levia Baringer capital markets with us. Mickey, let's fold into

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: this immediate jobs report that we see in exactly ten minutes.

48
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: It's about productivity, capital, labor, and technological progress. Give us

49
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: the y. We're flat on our back with productivity. I

50
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: think part of it is a missmeasurement problem. I see

51
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: everywhere anecdotal evidence of technological innovations, not only new products,

52
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: but but but but improved production facilities and capabilities. I

53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: see record breaking near record breaking corporate profits, and then

54
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: the productivity data are so weak. I think there's a

55
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: mismeasurement problem that the US Department of Commerce will eventually

56
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: get to. But it's a very technical issue. Let me

57
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: just bring out an example, um, all of you who

58
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: are looking at your iPhones now, UM, when you buy

59
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: an iPhone because because it's because it's produced in China,

60
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: it nets out to close to zero in GDP. Are

61
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: you telling me that over the last seven eight years

62
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: this has had zero impact? Mr mckeeney, the sainted one

63
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: needed a new iPhone yesterday. It did not. It directly

64
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: affected the GDP of American economy. I can assure you

65
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: I did my patriotic duty and dropped a large amount

66
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: of money on an iPhone, but it netted out to

67
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: close to zero in GDP and did not push the

68
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: productivity dial as measured. And I think there's a measurement problem.

69
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: And it's not just Apple, it's just almost in every industry.

70
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: You see technological advances and it's just we're just not

71
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: capturing it in the data. What do we uh, what

72
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: do you think February is going to show? You have

73
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: to follow a day to day basis and with a

74
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: with a disclaimer that of course one month is not

75
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: enough to uh, you know, really get a trend. But

76
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: what do we think? I think it's gonna be a

77
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: healthy number UM. In fact, it could be. I think

78
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a little over two hundred thousand. On jobs,

79
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: I think actually job gains have been a little too

80
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: fast relative to g d P. But what I'm really

81
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: looking at for in today's number is in January we

82
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: had a nice increase in wages. If there's an a

83
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: second month in a row of healthy wage gains UM

84
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: on top of the recent nice news on consumer spending

85
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: in real terms and the increase in the core PCE

86
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: deflated to one point seven, I'm wondering if we get

87
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: that that wage increase, it's not only very good for

88
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: the economy, but it really puts the FED into a box.

89
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Are they really data dependent? We're on the front doorstep

90
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: of them achieving their long run dual mandate. What will

91
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: they do well? What will be the effect if they

92
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: do raise rights? Why the what? What is the I

93
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: S curve real economy effect? Not to get the restrictive,

94
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: not to get to accommodative, but to get off stand

95
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: Fisher's ultra accommodative. Given the data, theoretically and historically, it

96
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: should have close to zero impact on economic performance. The

97
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: FEDS can sarn is um having gone through several queuei's

98
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: forward guidance. All of that was geared toward UH keeping

99
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: rates low, encouraging portfolio managers globally to take more risks.

100
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: And now one of the FED, one of the fed's

101
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: largest concerns is the reversal of that portfolio balance effect

102
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: that they so touted for several years. Mickey Levis, thank

103
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: you so much, Dr Leavis with Barrenberg Capital Markets. As

104
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: we get ready for h the jobs report will see

105
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: that here in six minutes, so we should note a

106
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: thousand jobs forecast, four point nine percent unemployment, and a

107
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: two tense gaining wages. Those are the headline numbers will

108
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: be watching. I will look at the revisions and he

109
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: grew always important, Robert Gordon said, he is, uh. He

110
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: is going to be looking at the labor force participation rate.

111
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: He said, that's the key number for the economy going forward.

112
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: It's gotten better prospects for the economy. Of course, he's

113
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: looking at it from the academic tower of Northwestern University.

114
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: They where market economists are trying to figure out what

115
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: the tenure yield will do to four digits UH at

116
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: eight thirty two. We will do that with Bill gross

117
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: one eight to eight six one on the tenure yield

118
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: right now. Curve flattening over the last couple of days.

119
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Don't want to make too much about it. It's been

120
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: range bound, as is a lot of other data. The

121
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,880
