8:01 am
europe and globally focuses central blank -- central banks to raise loans. >> it is really to a getting into this range. >> the ecb is going into a period where we already see slow growth. >> i think personally, they made an error. >> this is "bloomberg surveillance" with tom keene, jonathan farrow, and lisa abramowitz. tom: jonathan ferro, lisa abramowitz and tom keene, thrilled to be with you, looking into a critical week next week and for jerome powell and certainly for germany its fragmentation friday. jonathan: i would go further, it is the brink of recession thursday. in looking to the front end of the german bund curve, down 25 basis points is a big move. tom: copper does not come in, i am looking at chicago and copper tells me something different. oil giving the economic slowdown
8:02 am
indicator. jonathan: the next talk, pmi's, and the date has not been terrific. down eight basis points on the 10 year periods to 79 on a 10-year yield. tom: again, we saw massive curve in version two -225 basis points. i believe we have a fed meeting coming up on thursday, but the yield dynamics seem so separate after what we missed -- witnessed yesterday, but -- all of us picking up the debris. jonathan: i think we are all confused about that news conference. just getting some numbers from twitter coming in at $1 billion, and adjusted revenue of 1.870 billion. that is a downside. the average monetize a bull daily average user, did i do that right? tom: have another hard seltzer.
8:03 am
jonathan: 237 .8 million and the estimate to 30 78 5 million. that is after the massive snap yesterday afternoon. tom: it is a revenue, estimate and we estimate this, we misunderstand these social media efforts are compared to real technology, as we mentioned on facebook. jonathan: i think of a massive execution problem this quarter. i know everyone is looking for a macro signal, i would not get it from the social media companies, i would look at alphabet and facebook, and not a company like twitter who we do not know who will run the company and no one in that company knows either. tom: help -- you helped us with hard seltzer, help us with snap and twitter. kailey: just in the fact in the
8:04 am
metal debt of the matter that they are in a battle with the richest man in the world. that reflects advertising industry headwinds with the environment as well as the pending apposition -- application of elon musk. so it is both and, but when we get meta-and alphabet, are they going to fall victim to the same slowdown in ad spending as companies look around at what the economy is doing and say not so much. tom: the biggest mystery on the screen is that you go to the real yields. jonathan: it is elementary and obvious, it is the drop in yields in germany, after the ecb made a move to hike interest rates, they keyed up wanting september. the data is seen -- is speaking loudly and clearly. tom: 32 on the vicks, down to 23, it is not the glory of 10 points and i will take nine. jonathan: futures down and on
8:05 am
the nasdaq down .3%. crew down by .4 percentage points. hanging onto 95, 1 0117, there it is for you and the bond market down by seven basis points and just on 28050 on the u.s. 10 year. tom: with us is lizzie young, always with a different view, and for you, it is the things to watch in august that are different and twisted. which indicator or ratio matters to you as a crystal ball for august? liz: first and foremost next week matters because we are going to get wrecked -- economic data and we will hear from the fed and the expectation is that it might be the last big hike that we get before they could slow down, at least the size of hikes in september. also next week we are getting 30% of s&p performance including
8:06 am
earnings which will be in cross sectors. earnings season has been mixed, not terrible but we have heard from a lot of companies that they are thinking the following environment will be more challenging and preparing themselves for that challenge. i think next week when we hear the rubber hit the road as how this has affected companies in the consumer space and material space and industrials, that is where you feel the squeeze. jonathan: how much confidence do you have the bounce in the stock market? liz: i do not have a ton of confidence that it is durable yet, i think it is dangerous to declare victory before we see any moderation in inflation. the other thing i would say is that i think what the federal reserve wants to see is that there is a trend down in inflation and as we know it is not just one data point, even if inflation starts to moderate with the july data, that does not mean that it is over. we just need to see it happen
8:07 am
for three consecutive months before the fed will say you know what's, it is working, we can take our foot off of the gas pedal. kailey: you say it is dangerous or too early to call the bottom, was it too early to call the depth of the 6040 portfolio as we have done so many times because i am looking at a healthy bond rally. liz: i think it was probably ok to start thinking about 60-40 presenting a knock -- an opportunity again, it was not wrong to say that 60-40 did not work for a long time but while we had bond yearlings as long -- as low as they were they were not providing that diversification benefit but now there is more of an opportunity. here is where i would be careful. you cannot paint with a broad brush in bonds. you cannot say corporate bonds there is a huge opportunity because if we are worried about a recession situation and more stress in the equity market,
8:08 am
that also means more stress in corporate bonds, investment-grade and high-yield. they have gotten a little bit worse but they have not gotten as bad as you would expect them to be in a recessionary environment. you have to be looking at treasuries and high-quality bonds. kailey: what would you be looking for, we heard 700 plus. liz: yes, and spreads have doubled since the beginning of the year but think about where they have gotten to in other recessionary environments. you hear them above 10%. they might not get to that level, that they could widen out, so i would be careful in that space because what you see usually is the equity market will correct, but then there is a correlation between equities and high-yield bonds. the other thing is that you are hearing from companies that have credit card businesses that they are preparing for loan losses and for consumers to not necessarily be spending as much and for the payment cycle to
8:09 am
slow down. you have to think about that as well as well as a debt market indicator. jonathan: one of the big winners, the energy sector in the stock market, it has rolled over a lot and it was a beneficiary of the big inflation trade. i wonder how this performs as growth decelerates. what are you looking for? liz: i think you have to separate what energy is trading at versus what energy stocks might trade at. if you are an income investor and you are a cyclical investor and you need to balance your portfolio, energy stocks might offering ok opportunity and they are paying a nice dividend. it is not that you need to get out of energy stocks, that if you can take the other side of that and look at the commodity itself, because we are seeing a slowdown in demand and we are all hoping for a slowdown in inflation and we have central banks trying to fight that story, i do not think that energy will see a ton more upside. it could stay elevated compared
8:10 am
to where it was before, but i do not think there is a ton more juice that we will squeeze out of it as an energy trade per -- economy wise. jonathan: every futures down by 1/10 of 1% and on crude down 1.3% to 95 tyler's -- $95. tom: equities are resilient and i do not know which way cuts on the headlines but what i saw yesterday from the health company, what you see from american express shows in the summary, equities are resilient. jonathan: twitter resilient, there is one for you. stocks down 2%. kailey: only as a site the same advertising headwinds as snap talked about. that is far worse, down 31% and also trading down in tandem with alphabet and meta-. it is up 3%. we get those reports next week.
8:11 am

>> the research team that bank of america has a real -- a year-end recession but says it is a slight recession and recession is not accompanied by high unemployment which means it ought to come back out. it is more the impact of the fed raising rates. jonathan: the chairman and ceo of bank of america catching up with david westin. futures down .1% on the s&p and the nasdaq 100 down 30 points. yields are lower this morning down six basis points on a 10 year and even lower over in germany. we have to talk about that data out of europe, taylor, sub 50 on

the mortgage crisis going on there. to my perspective the whole pyramid is collapsing. the fact that you have mortgage boycotts, over 100,000 homeowners are not paying their mortgages because they never got a home. you know that they presell. it is expanding to the banking market and the agricultural bank of china is feeling pain. the housing market in china is 40% of middle-class health whole household wealth and 35% of the government's. it is a big part of the economy. kailey: what is a policy response, how much do you have to ease and support to get that bleeding to stop? damian: they need to incentivize local governments to finish some of these undeveloped projects. that needs to happen right now so the projects are finished so that people have their homes and they pay their mortgages. right now banks do not want to lend in china and we need to get the banking community involved

historic. a student of this, a history of the nation's economics is a former richmond federal reserve president, jeffrey and we are thrilled that he can join us this morning. i want to go back to one of my heroes, a gentleman from washington university of st. louis, douglas north, who codified the word ambiguity and also did a careful study of the dynamics, the movable parts of our economy. all of our listeners, all of our viewers are drowning in the dynamics of our economic world, how do we get control of it? jeffrey: it has to do with getting injured -- getting inflation down. it is the -- it is the institution with a unique control of the monetary condition of the united states together with fiscal authorities they drive inflation and the fed has to do its job now. and do what it takes to get inflation down. i think chairman powell has been
8:33 am
right in recent months, since march, to emphasize the maximum employment is going to be out of reach until we get inflation down, and we need to put concerns about the labor market on whether it is doing a little bit to the side and focus on getting inflation down, that will take reducing and spending growth and reducing nominal spend and the labor market will play out as well. tom: your shop codified economic history with one of my heroes, i have read every single page that he has written. right now he should be writing about comparing volcker to powell and vice versa. he is not part -- paul volker, right? jeffrey: he was a great central banker in an age of monetary mystique, and age in which central banks elaborately cultivated obscurity and a distance from the public, they did not want to be in the
8:34 am
headlines, they wanted to choose when they would be in the headlines, we are in a different day and age. getting inflation down reveals the value of managing expectations and the value to that of being transparent and communicating about what they are about and trying to do. jay powell strikes me as better suited for the age of transparency and in terms of personal demeanor. one thing that paul volker had was the backing of the political establishment in washington and new york. they were able to take the pain and cultivate an appreciation of the pain needed to withstand in order to get inflation down. i think jay powell seems to have abundant political connections, and abundant skill in managing the fed's political connections. so he seems pretty well-suited on those grounds.
8:35 am
jonathan: this is a delicate subject so you touched on this, how political business fed right now? jeffrey: so, i think they understand that there is nothing that could damage their credibility more than sustained inflation. they can take all the hits that they want on unemployment, labor, and climate change and what have you, but job number one is inflation. if you do not get that down they realize that they are political toast, in some sense. i think that is true of any fed no matter what they say. jonathan: are you convinced that they are willing to tolerate a recession to get inflation down? jeffrey: i do, and they should. jonathan: what kind of referral it -- recession? because a consensus now is short and shallow. jeffrey: i am tempted to say a marriott druggie recession,
8:36 am
whatever it -- a mario druggie -- draghi recession, whatever it takes. the alternative is to let inflation settle by 45% which is another -- which is a recipe for recession down the road and prolonged pain in making the agony longer and stretching out which is not good for the american public and i think they realize that. what they ought to do is stick with it until they get inflation down to under 3%. and to go from there. kailey: so whatever it takes, what will it take? what radon fed funds or unemployment? jeffrey: good question, i think the historical record is clear that they need to get the real federal funds rate at or above zero. so that begs the question what is the actual fed fund rate minus near-term inflation are they investing in at or about
8:37 am
six boys and. -- six point 6%. you have the new york fed consumer survey which is good, a good methodology at 6.8, a difference of 6%. if expectations stay at 6% they will have to get there. it is those -- if those expectations start falling what we have is a rendezvous between the fed fund rate and inspected -- expected inflation. i doubt that expectations are going to fall to 3.5 or four by year end, so i suspect that they will have to go higher than that. kailey: how quickly what they need to get there, 6% is a long way. jeffrey: i do not think slowing down the process does him a lot of good. no matter what, whether they go 50's or 75's, they are still going to be in a situation where inflation is out into next year,
8:38 am
and you will have to make a judgment on when to stop without telling they have done enough or not based on other indications and calculations like the one that i cited, so they might as well get it done, they might as well get there fast. tom: do you look at the path back from this inflation to whatever is normal two to 3%, let us not get into that now, as having a snoot -- smoothness or guide path, or is it kinked where we get to a point and we stop we try to figure out how to lower inflation next and etc.? jeffrey: you know, if the fed tightens enough, i think we will just see a gradual decline down. i think it will sag over a couple of years. i expected to be relatively smooth and i do not have any reason to expect jolts, i expect shock like oil price problems. jonathan: how do you think they would support -- they would
8:39 am
respond to the ned -- negative supply shock on the gas side of things. i do not know if you follow the news conference, but they failed to establish what their reaction function is and how it would respond to a negative supply shock that pushes gas prices higher and growth lower. jeffrey: this is a murky area because oil price shocks tend to cause unemployment people think that is a reason to ease policy. but if you think about it broadly the central bank is controlling the real interest rate, which is the incentive to save and delay consumption and spending for later. and if you get a supply shock, you want people to consume later. what you want to do is raise rates, at least one argument says. there is a case that it does not mean not staying the course of inflation. jonathan: interesting, great to catch up. the former richmond fed president. looking ahead to the fed, this
8:40 am
fed might have to tolerate what he calls a draghi or whatever it takes inflation. tom: they are doing it in the 22 and into the campaign of november 2024. unlike the sanity of the united kingdom, i would suggest that that campaign starts the first wednesday of november this year. jonathan: you have an interesting one, you think the fed will be deterred because of the midterms? tom: i think the fed will be a political fed as it always is and they tell us that they are not. jonathan: even with inflation where it is. do you want to annoy me on the night, i have met, kate more. tom: i have the ceo of boston. jonathan: have you actually got that? i would tune in for that. tom: last time he showed up with a case of sam adams. jonathan: that is a hard seltzer. tom: i would never have one i just look at them and think i do
