>> the fed and powell in particular needs to get across the message the job is not yet done. >> it is not just about what the ecb or fed does, you have to take the capital markets, inflation premium. >> they gained a gain where the market desperately wants the fed to react. >> we are very much in the early days of recovering off of an extreme low. >> right now, central banks everywhere will take anything they can get. >> this is bloomberg surveillance with tom keene, and lisa abramowicz. jon: the week is dragging out.
6:01 am
first thing lisa said to me, taken ages just to get the friday. from new york city this morning, good morning. tower audience worldwide, this is "bloomberg surveillance" on tv and radio. futures down .1%. three days of losses into wednesday head of jackson hole. tom: it's a finely a quieter market here -- it is finally a quieter market here. there's a lot going on. to meet a headline is netherlands natural gas is not giving it up. to me that is a headline this morning. jon: did we get the appetizer for the next headline for nero kashkari of the minneapolis fed. he spoke. he said we are at high inflation, this is a completely unbalanced situation which means it is clear. he goes on to say we need to tighten monetary policy to bring things back into balance. he wants to go big. potentially another 75. tom: when you hear kashkari talk about that -- talk like that,
6:02 am
imagine what we hear from the people mike mckee will speak to in jackson hole. it is simple, forward guidance will be very forward as we wait for data-dependent speech. jon: do think it is too early for chairman powell to speak to a december mood with how much data will come in from now and then? lisa: let's say he does, how the markets moved ahead of the commitments against the hockessin -- that has been -- hawkish nest that has been the tone? it is pricing in a reaffirmed hawkishness on a fed. how does jay powell react to that given how it will have to take -- jon: we get another cvi report september 13 and i have to say, after the pmi yesterday, which were dreadful, not just in europe but in the united states, the takes on more importance two. lisa: also anecdotal information
6:03 am
like earnings from nordstrom showing even middle-class and upper-middle-class shoppers are starting to push back and be more discretionary and build up. how does this -- how much more does this lead to a disinflationary push that the fed will not be that hawkish? jon: a bit snooty this morning. futures down by two points. negative zero point 05% on the s&p 500. looking the bond market, yields unchanged. a lift over the last week. in the fx market, 9947, euro weakness returns, negative .25%. lisa: i keep thinking about the hawkish and as people expect from fed chair jay powell and wondering about the disinflationary trends that we continue to see in the data. you mentioned what we saw yesterday with some of the pmi's out of the u.s., also the housing market today, july
6:04 am
durable goods orders 8:30 a.m. and home sales at 10:00 a.m. and this comes after yesterday's home information that was dreadful. you are seeing activity fall off a cliff and the expectation is depending on sales to be the same. this is noisy information, really important, because yesterday is the number of activity, the number of sales completed really fell off a cliff but a lot of it had to do with homes that had not been completed yet. there's a lot of noise under the numbers. 1:00 p.m., the treasury is auctioning billions of dollars of five-year notes. yesterday was fascinating, the third worst going back to 2018. people don't want to bid on something that is trading like a penny stock which is basically the race market on the front end given all of the uncertainty around what the fed will do. i'm more interested in the five year yield, how much do people have conviction over the medium range of what the fed will do? where will they top with the fed funds rate? what will that mean for the economic outlook and inflation?
6:05 am
president biden is expected to announce student debt relief program. on one hand, he has people in his own camp saying it is not generous enough to propose $10,000 of debt relief for people with a certain income, others saying you will do this now at a time when we are worried about inflation? either way it is a controversial issue and one he plans to avail today. jon: policy is super complex and we will catch up with anne-marie later today. the drought you mentioned to start the week that you said you should -- we should focus on, china in the news. in a big way given their drought and the threat to high electric stations in the country. lisa: this is a global story. i have been tracking this globally. for china, the global drought, the decline in manufacturing leading to further supply chain disruption, they cannot catch a break. some people say this is potentially worse than the covid outbreak's have seen. we have to keep watching the
6:06 am
space and track how it is affecting not only china, germany, and the u.s. but also the developing world. jon: thank you for drawing our attention to that. i wish you could chairs up but our next guest calls for the rp cycle, kriti gupta -- jim caron at morgan stanley. what is the rp circle? jim: it means inflation, recession, and policy risk. what is unique about the cycle is recession risks and inflation risks are at odds with each other with respect to policy. when the fashion has to address recession risks, which is what i think we are in now, effectively what we have to see is easier policy. at the same time, if inflation is a problem, a probably have to address that too which means retired policy. both policy actions that are required to address the current problems we have today are at odds with each other. i think that is what is creating
6:07 am
a lot of confusion and a lot of volatility in the markets. as many people have been saying, the fed is trying to bring down inflation. that is certainly what they try to do. i think they can bring inflation down to 2.5 to 3%. the question is can they keep it there. willie policy rate move up towards 3.5% possibly 3.75%? will that be enough to keep inflation at their target or do they have to do more? i think that is what the markets are sensing much further down the road. tom: let's frame it around an index, bloomberg total return index. a barclays owned it for a wild. the corporate index, total return down 15%. that is a horrific bear market, once-in-a-lifetime for any listeners and viewers. we've got to bounce. do you assume we breach on price those new lows of june? do we have even greater losses of price index? jim: this is a good question and
6:08 am
this is what should be keeping people up at night because the effectively what has happened is a lot of the losses we have seen in credit has been because of interest rates rising. has not -- it has not been because spreads have widened. they have widened but they are not at a level that are ringing alarm bells. they are certainly wider but in the race market, it's created these losses. if we go into the downturn, and this is the risk, something more of a deeper slowdown, potentially a recession, something along those lines, that means default risks will rise and that will widen spreads even more. that will actually add to the losses of some of these products. so far, what the narrative is, if we have a recession, maybe we are in one right now, if we have one, essentially what we see is
6:09 am
a mild recession because the jobs market is strong. consumption will still be there. that means defaults don't rise as much and that keeps credit relatively well detained. this is also something that is concerning for the markets. lisa: i would love your take on the issue of the fed holding interest rates at 3.5%/3.75% for years. how does that change your default outlook over the next couple years? jim: i think it is very interesting. when i think about what the fed has told us since the june meeting they had, which is that they expect the policy rate to go to about three point 75%, they reiterated that in july. powell said the best outlook for the future policy is what we said in june. i think he will say that again friday. you talk about the fed being hawkish and they have been consistent to the messaging back in june. i tend to agree with what jan is saying, essentially if we get to
6:10 am
the 3.75% level, it does not make any sense that once they have inflation on the run to turnaround and go the other way. they have got to have policy that will keep inflation at their target, not just bring it down momentarily and have it rise back up. that is not a victory. victory is getting inflation to target and keeping it there. a could mean the fed does key policy rates as high as 3.5% to 3.75% for more extended period of time. that is why bond yields are rising in the back and the curve is starting to re-steepen or diss invert to some degree. jon: awesome to hear from you to kick off our coverage before heading out to jackson hole. jim caron there of morgan stanley. the pmi's for s&p global, the team here at bloomberg breaking this down. if you strip out the pandemic, that is the worst read we have had on that number going all the way back in dated to 2009.
6:11 am
will it be confirmed by the ism because it has been a diversions between those two things. i was surprised by how well we shook it up. lisa: especially since it is not just the manufacturing side which we have had for a while. it was also the services side even though we don't necessarily get headwinds from new covid rounds in the united states. what explains that if you are not seeing people go to as many restaurants and as many amusement parks as they previously did? if this is more evidence of the consumer reducing discretionary spending. jon: you know it will help out -- help out the hospitality business. lisa: yes i do. jon: you will be a busy man, won't you, tom? tom: we celebrate for you in jackson hole, eight degrees centigrade right now. jon: i'm familiar with that. tom: that's actually pretty warm. what is important is where we go. i think we have to go to
6:12 am
elinor's, a wonderful pub behind a liquor store in jackson and we can watch part of midlothian plays eric -- play zurich. jon: you go to the liquor store before the bar? tom: you go to the liquor store in the bar is in the back. jon: are you serious? tom: yeah. i think they look good against zurich. jon: all right, he is available on twitter in the middle of the night may be. check it out before gets deleted. [laughter] futures unchanged. this is bloomberg. ♪ ritika: keeping up-to-date from news from around the world, minneapolis fed president says it is clear the central bank needs to tighten monetary policy. in his speech, he said inflation is high in the fed should relax only when there is evidence it is on the way back down to 2%. u.s. consumer prices rose 8.5% in the 12 months through july.
6:13 am
it's the six-month anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine and the war has fundamental assumptions against russians military and economy. analysts have been surprised moscow's better equipped army did not quickly dominate ukrainian forces. on the other hand, russia's economy is holding up better than expected despite sanctions imposed by the west. japan is planning a dramatic shift back to nuclear power more than a decade after the fukushima disaster including restarting a number of shutdown reactors and developing new plants in the next generation technology. japan is trying to resist more strains on the power grid. today, president biden makes its announcement on student debt relief some allies are likely disappointed. the president has been considering giving $10,000 per borrower and student debt while capping the income of 125,000 to $160,000.

me, i'm in the mode of we need to err on getting inflation down and only relax when we see compelling evidence inflation is well on its way back down to 2%. jon: the federal reserve turned upside down, neel kashkari sounding hawkish and the kansas city fed sounding somehow dovish. does that make sense to you? lisa: unless you think one is being extreme on all ends depending on the moment and the extreme is not hawkish. jon: role virtual -- reversal. counting it down to the big speech in jackson hole, wyoming with chair powell on friday. futures 0.0 5% on the s&p 500. on the nasdaq 100, down by 0.06%. heels by almost out of basis point 3.0387%. we have talked about it many times, haven't we?

euro-dollar 9943, negative, a little more than .15% -- .25%. tom: i want to point out brent crude above one hunt dollars per barrel and a quiet day -- $100 per barrel and a quiet day. jon: good catch. opec-plus on the saudis pushing back against the price they thought was too low. let's call it $94.50 on w -- 9450 on wti as well. tom: you will be even more confused about this argument and debate about forgiveness of student loans. annmarie hordern is an expert on this, has studied and studied it. what fascinates me is i don't to know what the president's view is. i read an article, i read another one, i have all of these people jockeying around and it seems to me nobody actually knows what the president of the united states believes in.
6:21 am
what does he believe in? annmarie: he campaigned on getting rid of pretty much all of it for a number of individuals making less than $125,000. part of the reason why the white house has really played their cards close when it comes to this, which we have been expecting for months, is because there is really too big a dividing camp about how to approach loan forgiveness. you have progressive, the naacp talking about the fact it should be up to $50,000 with the white house likely coming out to forgive $10,000 with a cap of 100 when he $5,000, $150,000 for individual -- 120 $5,000, one hundred $50,000 for individuals. especially when it comes to paint on the moratorium on your debt, larry summers saying this is the worst idea the administration can enact and comes at a difficult time
6:22 am
because the biden administration wants to make sure they are especially getting out the youth vote ahead of the midterm elections and i can tell you from experience those individuals once a week at least are on the corner of pennsylvania avenue talking about and protesting the student loan issue but at the same time, they are dealing with high inflation. that is why the former treasury secretary says this could add to inflationary pressure. tom: 10,000 dollars on let's take new york university, the most expensive school on the planet, $77,632 per year, maybe there is something more, but the bottom line, they have been pushed aside. this is undergraduate and some people say even only state colleges would be involved as well. basically it is a final hope and am i right it has been narrowed down to next to nothing? annmarie: it continuously gets narrowed down but they are giving breathing room to trying to extend this mentor him --
6:23 am
this moratorium. one of the big issues looking at student debt forgiveness and data behind it, it is incredibly sad to pivot but hard to target, if you look at individuals who complete four bachelor degrees, there are millions out there who had not finished their college degree and are not making and not benefiting from the benefits you have in terms of pay and job and career progression you would have if you had that college degree are paying student loans without it. that is a large majority and of course there is the racial divide. by and large, individuals who get hit the worst on this are black students. tom: help me out here. just to pick a random school in england, all in, one is 32,000 u.s. dollars per year versus the idiots in america. translate this for me. jon: domestic i think is 9000
6:24 am
sterling for the year annually for fruition -- tuition. tom: you must think i'm nuts. jon: when i started it, i think it was $1000 per year, can you imagine? the more i spend looking at this, the more complicated it is. the number one statistic that will always get thrown around and this administration will struggle to hide from, the growing earnings gap between young college graduates and their counterparts without degrees. what to they say back to that? annmarie: it is very difficult because those without -- are you sing those without college degrees but spent time in college, is -- it is hard to target those versus those who spend i went and spent all this money on the college degrees and i am getting paid but i/o a ton of debt. maybe they're making about
6:25 am
150,000 dollars but living in extensive cities like new york or los angeles. and they are dealing with inflation. should they be exempt from this were not? it is a difficult one for the administration, which is why the administration has been playing their card incredibly close and they dragged their feet with coming out on a statement from this which we expect today. jon: looking for your coverage through today. annmarie ndc policy is complex. you will hear the republican talking points today and the talking points from the administration. i know you like me, the more time you spend looking at this, the more complex you realize things are. lisa: why now? especially if we are worried about inflation, why come out with a new relief program, especially when the labor force participation rate for people has fallen? even though people are not getting back into the labor market, you wonder why now. it seems this is something that could be addressed in many ways.
6:26 am
the timing, especially going on a platform of trying to reduce inflation, creates a lot of questions. jon: tom touched on a good point, college in america is a problem. you are subsidizing colleges here. tom: i was talking about this the other day and the bottom line is, if i could bring this up on air, i will, -- jon: he is upset. a lot of people are upset. tom: i don't want to be too frank, it is a total freak and scam. -- freaking scam. jon: with tom keene, lisa abramowicz, i'm jonathan ferro. this is bloomberg. ♪

as tom mentioned on brent. close to 95, pushing those levels into the 90's again on wti. here's the bond market story, focus on the front end of the yield curve into jackson hole, wyoming and the chairman powell speech. in and around 330, yields unchanged today. what kind of tenure response for incoming data? the pmi's yesterday, dreadful. we will talk to andrew hollenhorst in a moment. we want to finish on foreign exchange and get used to these levels because i'm still not used to these levels. 9936 on euro-dollar, 11785 against the u.s. dollar, a break of 118. tom: i would go pacific rim here. rename the, there is a chinese yuan, it is really up against new weakness. i think that bears watching into the weekend and the monday opening or sunday evening.
6:32 am
the thing that has not moved as we mentioned yesterday was dollar-yen. at the 136 level, you need to get to 100 3940, and we are not there yet. jon: i have a lean toward the single currency for that particular one. levels since we have not seen since 2002. gives you 90 of the strength we are seeing for the green this week. tom: we are committed to talk about economics. that has always been our lead story and as we prepare for jackson hole, we bring you the voices now. goldman sachs was with us yesterday. and when we are at jackson hole, we will have world-class coverage including voices from europe. right now, this is like bob dylan picking up an electric guitar at newport a few years ago. andrew hollenhorst as citigroup had the courage to come out early and say higher rates and everyone said you are nuts. now he is not nuts, everyone is showing the party.
6:33 am
reaffirm where mr. powell is going right now. give us that level we will see next year. andrew: i think we will be at 4% or above. policy is more about inflation than about rates. rates are following where inflation is going, where inflation has been. we are sitting at a percent to 9% inflation. i think underlying core measures of inflation are between 4% and 6%. at those levels, it is hard to think the policy rates are not going to get around 4% or above. tom: your colleagues in london quoted 18% on energy inflation i know will not get something inflammatory like that but is your headline to jackson hole we will be surprised how difficult it is to drop inflation down? andrew: i think there are elements of inflation we might see relief, commodity prices have moved lower, maybe we get relief in goods prices.
6:34 am
the core issue for the u.s. economy, tightening in the housing market, which is may be relieved by higher mortgage rates, but tighten it labor markets. so you look at the core measures and underlying inflation running four to six -- 4% to 6%, then we look at underlying wage growth, however you want to look at it, we see wage growth 5% plus. i think that is really the issue for the fed, a tight domestic labor market, a lot of inflationary pressure. i think we know from history that does prove difficult to bring down. you usually need a significant tightening of financial conditions, loosen labor market and bring inflationary pressure down. tom: tell me the risks around your view, 75 september, 4% fed funds by year-end, tilted to the downside and upside, fairly balanced. how does that developed -- how has that developed? andrew: he is trying to reassess
6:35 am
at one point we see more downside than upside risk to policy rates. the answer we come back with is there is still more upside. i think at the september fomc meeting we have had mixed data on some data on the activity, and it looked reassuring. if you look at 520,000 new jobs created, some data has been uneven. i think it is hard to parse the individual meetings. we think 75 in september. i think the higher conviction call is where they need to get to, how high they need to get, and remember, this is a market that is pricing in interest rate cuts in 2023 with the fed only getting to a level around maybe 3.5%, 375 basis points.
6:36 am
i think the fed maintains rates at a higher level for longer than that. lisa: analysts have been pushing back against this idea more, especially pointing to disinflationary aspects like for example used car sales or the inventories at retailers and markdowns they are planning for fall. there are all of these forces leading people to ratchet down how high they see inflation, ending the year. why do you disagree? why are you pushing back against that narrative? andrew: i think maybe we need new definitions of core inflation. those are out there if you look at the atlanta fed, they have a great dashboard of various metrics, mean inflation, price inflation, various labors of core inflation. the only thing core inflation would do is look at used car prices and something very specific and different going on with car prices. there would be a particular issue in the shortage of semiconductors that push up these prices, very
6:37 am
significantly. they are still extremely high and elevated. they are coming down from high levels so that is part of why we so the weaker core inflation print in the month of july, we may have a similar print in august. looking at the host cell used car prices, they come down again. they might end up coming through in august for inflation print but the minneapolis fed president last night was one of the biggest doves and now is one of the biggest talks, walking through the elements, probably knows a lot about the underlying inflationary trend around 4% to 6%. it comes back to the tight labor market, service providers in particular to their customers so that acceleration we have seen in wages, you probably see that in prices. we can accelerate on inflation even if let's say used car
6:38 am
prices come down. lisa: even with that, analysts are saying is no more likely the fed will raise rates to 3.5% and then hold it there for a while? be patient come wafer tightening to trickle out. why do you think they will be unable to do that or do think it is political pressure that if inflation remains high, they will have to appear to be taking a harder line? andrew: i don't think it is political pressure. i think it is fundamental economics, basic monetary theory, the idea you need to get real interest rates -- the nominal interest rates -- some measure of underlying inflation, back to a level that is at least positive. i think that is the minimum you need to get to bring inflation down. theoretical models suggest that but there is also the empirical fact and history on this that specifically you need to get the
6:39 am
nominal rate up to the rate of inflation. if you stop at 3.5%, in a world where inflation is running 4%, 5%, 6%, and on the headline a percent or 9%, that means you are heading significantly negative real rate of interest and that is really important because you are not going to slow down the economy by building that economy and showing individuals a negative real rate of interest. 3.5% potentially coming down lot faster than expensive -- than expected. i think the more likely scenario is inflation will be persistent. the fed has the ring and down so that means policy rates need to move above 4%. jon: we will catch up with a ton of fed officials at the end of the week. what would you like them to ask them? what are you focused on that needs to be answered? andrew: what i would love to hear, especially after the july
6:40 am
fomc meeting, is some clarification of how fed officials think about the neutral rate of interest. we were talking about it with lisa, where do you need to get rates to to have zero effect on inflation and how much further do you think you need to move rates to bring down inflation? we see some of that in the summer of economic projection but we have also heard from chair powell the confusing statement that may be policy rates are in neutral now. i think it is hard to defend that position in a world where inflation is running much longer -- much stronger but i would like to hear clarity. jon: we are not laughing. andrew hollenhorst, as always, thank you. we have called out with mohamed el-erian who said the same thing. lisa: other people said yes inflation is high but it will come down dramatically. the two camps are getting more entrenched and it is hard to know what data is going to
6:41 am
change them. i want to see the research they present at this jackson hole symposium. where do they come out with supply chain disruptions and that has sorted a whole host of information we are getting. jon: speaking of disruption, the italian prime minister speaking in italy and these are the headlines. italy must never again be dependent on russian gas, not a surprise to read that. they can cut russian gas imports to zero from the follow 2024. do you hear with the belgian prime minister said recently? he said never mind a single winter, he was talking about maybe five or 10. this could go on for a long time. tom: you heard that from yen yesterday on inflation trend, and that is the core of the inflation, something mr. draghi knows well. i will not mince words. mario draghi will be missed at this jackson hole. jon: i agree with you. it would be nice to catch up
6:42 am

i like to take jerry nadler who just won a big election on the upper west side, if we would to take a windfarm or whatever, oil refinery or whatever on the upper west side in the hudson river, that would not go because it is not a my backyard. do we need to see a change to jumpstart refining to bring the price of oil down? jacques: it is a great question. i think we have seen the downstream and midstream where it is hard to get a lot of things built outside of texas and louisiana. those are two places you've got a better shot at getting assets built. lisa: given the demand that has increased dramatically not just from the united states were globally in the wake of the disruption with russia's invasion of ukraine, are investors getting more accepting of the idea of greater shale investment? i say this profitability in the u.s. is skyrocketing. jacques: that's a good point
6:52 am
because we have not seen that yet and i think that is kind of one of the key factors both within the shale and globally that energy investment is still well below where it was 10 years ago, so that is something that does not appear to be coming back and is limiting supply growth. lisa: what is behind that? the idea perhaps this will be short-lived in terms of the demand surge or is this in blue because the investment dollars are not there in the same way due to different esg constraints and different kinds of a feel among the endowments and other institutional investors? jacques: i think it's a combination of a lot of things. you definitely touched on one key point in terms of the investor appetite. so i just think too there's a lot of labor shortages, so even if companies did want to put more rates to work, there are not people to do it. lisa: what about the natural gas states in the united states?

7:02 am

7:07 am
that was increasingly inflationary. this time they've got to be more front footed and address what's happening in the marketplace, focus on data dependency and be committed to the hawkish rates set forward. tom: i look at this as a seesaw and a seesaw is the risk of a slowdown in growth and maybe there is in there as well dynamics of a labor economy. the fed is debating inflation but what we are worried about in europe and here is a slowdown economic growth and the labor economy. do they give chairman powell support in this speech? lori: we are very concerned about that as well. we see continuing to be hawkish is not the right posture because we are starting to see signs that the rate hikes have taken root. whether it is economic slowdown or interest rates, but as you
7:08 am
know the labor markets have been persistently strong. that gives the fed cover to focus on the inflation headline numbers while not being too concerned about labor. we think that's a dangerous posture. lisa: let's say jay powell says exactly what you said. we don't want to go too far before seeing the ramifications of what we've done. if the market rips, it is the rally incredible, will it be against them? lori: it would have to be a lot more than that because the other concern is they can be viewed as waffling too much. one of the great things about the fed chairman history as there has been a lot of credibility. they've been consistent. they can be very fearful about seeming to ignore the data, especially the data that's important to them, that some type of acknowledgment that while they still remain very hawkish and focused on the short-term pressures, that they
7:09 am
are going to continue to watch for signs that some of their moves are starting to take root. lisa: you just said something i am mulling over. they've built up credibility about their data dependency. i think there's a lot of questions around their credibility, which data they care about, whether they are using the data points they want to to confirm the message they want to send out. what the counter argument? lori: i have thought about it a lot and i'm talking about the early days of the fed posture and up until a year ago they seemed to track that carefully. last year they got it wrong so now they are behind and the question is can they get back on side? they don't want to be seen as abandoning data dependency. jonathan: lori heinel, thank you. lisa, what do you think about it? inflation is 8.5%. how could they be dovish with
7:10 am
8.5%? the problem the chairman has had is every time he speaks, every time we get a news conference, this market has decided that a turn is about to come, the pivot is around the corner. lisa: we showed a lot of sarcasm around the pivot that wasn't, at the fed didn't create a huge tone. -- huge change in tone. they had -- they did perhaps recognize they have to wait and be prudent and not tighten before they see the ramifications of policy. that could be considered dovish given a .5% inflation. that is a push-pull. how do they still seem like they are aware of all sides? jonathan: do you still call neel kashkari a hawk? tom: i did not. he has been a good friend of the show but i never thought i would see the shift. i have huge trouble with the
7:11 am
word "pivot," whether it was president biden pivoting to the pacific. it is a marketing phrase, an image phrase to describe a sarcastic process where you have mysterious abilities to make a turn at some point, whether it is red sox baseball, the tots, whatever. pivot is baloney. that's all there is to it. jonathan: that's it. tom: baloney, john, is an american food meet. i'm not sure if you are familiar. jonathan: no idea. i am familiar. it is a process the way you go from 75 to 50 to 25. that's what a lot of people are still looking for. yesterday goldman said a shift down to 50 and 25 and maybe stop at 3.5% and sit there for two years. lisa: we heard some pushback saying perhaps you have to go for -- further. andrew hollenhorst saying people

[laughter] lisa: did she run awry -- runaway? tom: the never never land of washington. cut to the chase, the democrats are doing better. is it just because of the roe v. wade bait or is something else going on? annmarie: a lot of mickey mouse. when you look at the races overnight and you talk about democrats doing better and maybe roe v. wade, you have to look at this 19th congressional district in new york which pat ryan -- tom: above the hudson river. annmarie: pat ryan was able to pick up. this is a swing district.
7:22 am
they voted for the former president trump in 2016 and voted for biden, bush, and obama. what happened with pat ryan is he focused squarely on abortion rights and roe v. wade and what you have from this challenger is talking about overarching issues with the nation over wide of inflation and crime. it shows this swing as well as what happened in kansas a few weeks back, it is very much so a live debate that democrats will really campaign on. tom: we've been watching wild kingdom getting jon ferro ready for the grizz in wyoming. what's your take on the tuesday primaries? we didn't have cheney. annmarie: one would be the pat ryan abortion is resonating swing voters. that is important for democrats to take away and republicans do know this is something they need

to work on in terms of massaging their message with voters in swing districts. it is all eyes on florida. obviously, the big ticket will be the governor's race but desantis has all this money and really you have mr. chris behind him in terms of being the underdog. what is more interesting is the senate race, marco rubio versus congresswoman val demings. in one recent poll, she was actually ahead. this is something, again, abortion, she will take to the voters in florida. lisa: i want to stick on the governor race because charlie crist, the former governor, won the primary and he is going up on the democratic ticket against the incumbent who is also potentially a presidential candidate. can you talk about the fundraising aspect, how that potentially could shape this debate and shape this race in a way that goes far beyond just a
7:24 am
local election? annmarie: it's certainly gone far beyond that because you are ready have governor desantis out and about in places like arizona helping some of the republican hopefuls there trying to get ahead. he already has taken on nationwide performance unpopularity in the republican party. you look at the polls, former president trump is ahead if there was a gop ticket 2024, but second, and with a tonda of cash is governor desantis. his cash is very different from the former president's. he is getting big checks from the likes of karen griffin and paul tudor jones, as many move their spaces to florida where the former president has more of a grassroot, a few dollars here and there. that's something desantis would have to look for in 2024.
7:25 am
we look for the florida race, potentially you will see democrats really want to focus on mr. crist, congressman, former republican governor looking for his job back because he has said in his speech if we stop this man here than 2024 is over. jonathan: a difficult moment in this country for many people, annmarie hordern in d.c. from "businessweek," we all need to read it, called "a tsunami of shutoffs." some 20 million households across the country, about one in six american homes have fallen behind on utility bills. according to the national energy assistance directors association it is the worst crisis the group has ever documented. we've been talking about falling gasoline prices in america. gas prices, we've been discussing the last couple days have been soaring and so have electricity prices. tom: i'm sure chairman powell

7:35 am
shouldn't it be higher? subadra: i think what we have seen in the last weeks is exactly what we saw ahead of the june fomc meeting. the move higher in 10-year gilts is mostly because of a sharp rise in inflation expectations. this is not just a u.s. phenomenon. you are seeing inflation expectation rise meaningfully across the globe, especially europe and the u.k. and you see breakevens in the u.s. are also starting to widen in tandem with what you are seeing globally. the market is starting to price in the potential for inflation to remain consistently high over the long run, which is a paradigm shift. the last couple of months the market was giving the fed a lot of credibility in being able to bring down inflation expectations. tom: a delicate question.
7:36 am
his chairman powell losing credibility because the united kingdom and continental europe are falling apart? subadra: i think it is making the fed's job a lot harder because there are a lot of externalities they have to factor in. they have to take into account what will happen in china. there is a meaningful slowdown in growth. what is happening in europe with the potential for a winter that will be very rough and much higher inflation in europe. in some respects the remit for the fed, not just the u.s., but also what is happening globally. globally inflation is a big concern. they will have to factor that in with how they look at markets in the u.s.. you look at recession probability, they are rising a lot faster in europe and in the u.k. you have a contraction next year. those are the kinds of things
7:37 am
chair powell has to weigh in to the equation for what he does with the u.s. as far as policy is concerned, in addition to what we are seeing in the data in the u.s. and the inflation trajectory in the u.s.. jonathan: what does president lagarde do with this as a backdrop? they have a really tough hand. what did they do? subadra: it is really tough. they are behind the fed in raising rates and trying to play catch-up in the next ecb meeting. markets are pricing in 1.25% of hikes by the end of this year. they will have to deliver a much more aggressive path of rate hikes. you pointed out earlier that as we are raising rates the currency will continue to weaken because of the backdrop on recession and a meaningful slowdown in growth in the risks
7:38 am
associated with the war in ukraine. it is a complicated optimization function for the ecb because it is not just about inflation, it is about externalities. lisa: in united states there is a huge debate brewing about whether the fed can raise rates to a certain level or whether they have to raise rates to a more punitive level. we have heard that even this morning. we heard this from andrew hallman horst saying we have to go much further than that. where do you stand? subadra: i think the market is extraordinarily efficiently priced in for what the fed said they will do. i think the fed funds rate gets to around 3.25% and perhaps 3.5% to 3.75% by next year. this whole argument they should
7:39 am
hike well beyond 4% and then that is the only way they will be able to raise inflation does not make sense. if they do that there is the potential things break. the economy in the u.s. is brittle. if they tighten policy aggressively, there is a greater risk we could go into a much deeper recession. in which case they will cut rates and pivot a lot faster. keep rates steady and invest much better outcomes to get above 3.5%. lisa: i want to get your sense of where you think inflation will end the year in the united states? subadra: that is a tough one. the trajectory is for inflation to continue to gradually decline , but the majority of the declines we will see will be not
7:40 am
so much this year. what the fed will be looking to see is if we see inflation starting to trend lower month after month. jonathan: thank you. a difficult time for europe and the ecb. we will hear from jay powell on friday. in some ways it is not about how high rates go. i would be far more interested to know about if we get to the end of the year and rates are still rising and unemployment has started to climb, that will give you a decent idea of where this economy will be. lisa: qt has not happened. we have seen the balance sheet stay around where it has been. it is going to decline more rapidly in september. how much do we get some indication from jackson hole there are limits to the balance sheet involvement they want to cap wear those balance sheets end up and how does that factor into the restrictions we see in

on the nasdaq, up a little more than 10%. yields up about one basis point. tom: major shout out to the federal government in the park ranger systems of jackson hole. yellowstone park. a ranger told me there is more wildlife now in the valley and there were at the time of the indians in the 19th century. jonathan: that is amazing. tom: futures up six. we are moving off the snooze fest. helping us with that is kriti gupta with an important chart. kriti: we want to focus in on what dana peterson was just talking about, food prices in the context of the war with ukraine. we are looking at a chart of the bloomberg cranes index. you see the massive surgeon prices in february, than the
7:50 am
course of the war itself. you saw the surge in prices given the breadbasket of the world, that supplies coming offline. fast-forward to june which sees prices make a round trip it was staying down for a while. recession fears, stronger dollar, some was a question of the weather. an uptrend as you have the likes of romania, india, even the united states not able to make up some of that lost supply in a way the market was pricing before. i think that is the key point of this chart. tom: very important. thank you so much. we have lots going on. michael joins us. he has been talking about what we've been saying about jackson hole. this is the acclaimed bear camera. we want to get this up if we can. the dead of night of alaska.
7:51 am
this will be like what we see tomorrow. we do not have that. jonathan: such a great run-up everyone is so disappointed. tom: it is the pitch black you and i will see tomorrow. lisa will be inside. lisa: i am not scared of bears. this is illuminating. you guys are scared of bears. it tells me a lot. tom: we are also frightened about the commodity business. michael is the expert on this at rabobank. thank you for joining us as we moved to wyoming. as we fly to wyoming we fly across levels of drought. cotton down 20%. it speaks to global food shortages. how bad is it? michael: it is pretty bad. the u.s. is largely the world's food reserve.
7:52 am
when it starts to see issues that has ramifications for everybody. as we heard early on the segment, we have seen a pullback in prices. we are still seeing -- the u.s. drought is not welcome at a time where global reserves are very low. jonathan: -- lisa: i have been focused on the farm tour going on in the united states to try to gauge how well some of these crops are doing in light of the extreme weather. it is all over the place. some places are facing drought. some extreme rain. how has the farm tour yielded information in terms of how much the u.s. can support the rest of the world? michael: i have had the pleasure of growing on the crop tour in
7:53 am
the past and what they are seeing is variable yields, which is not what you want when the world is sitting on historically low reserves. this is a time when the world is at its most plentiful in terms of an annual crop. the harvest is when you should see pressure in terms of prices and it is worrying if you start to see prices driving up at a time you have your harvest on the horizon. it implies prices will be higher for longer. lisa: what does this mean? does this mean prices will go up a little bit? that certain regions will not have the same supplies of corn they were expecting? translate this three months forward. michael: is actually -- what you're going to see is low supply providing foundational support for higher prices. we are not going to see prices skyrocketing because the
7:54 am
consumer behavior has already changed. that applies to a lot of areas like food and energy products. aaa is looking at gasoline in the united states and calling consumption covid like. what we are seeing is demand contraction, in particular in corn, which is not seen demand contract in a decade. we are seeing consumer -- everybody starts shifting their consumption patterns. we are worried about consumers changing their behaviors. jonathan: we need to catch up again soon. michael magdovitz of rabobank. lisa, you started the conversation night just went through a range of stories. india may import wheat.
7:55 am
china and those power cuts, we know because of the drought and what could happen to hydroelectricity. rice at risk because of extreme drought and it summer in china. dry cornfields in the united states is something you started the conversation with. a big issue. lisa: adding insult to issue with supply chain disruptions causing disruption to the world's food supply and not just energy supply. how much of an untold story is this as we go into the fall and winter of discontent. tom: i am smack dab in my bloomberg launchpad of energy and currencies. i have rice, corn, and wheat. they have not moved yet. but when i watch more than any of them is u.s. rice. it is different than thai rice, but we have been very lucky in that rice has not moved. jonathan: you heard michael.
7:56 am
the consumer pushback is already starting. tom: there is no question about that. the video is ready to go. this gives us a whisper of where we will be tomorrow. this is the acclaimed bear cam in alaska. you cannot see anything. you will not see anything when the bear comes up behind you. this is the bear cam in alaska and it is as dark as it will be tomorrow. jonathan: where is lisa? tom: lisa is inside. lisa: i am not scared. bears do not scare me.

ahead of itself. >> the global economy is going through a downshift. >> there is not an acute pocket of stress in a specific sector. >> we have a large gap between jobs and workers. >> inflation is going to come down. whether it will get as quickly as the fed would like to see back to their target or not, i think it will get there. >> this is bloomberg surveillance with tom keene, jonathan ferro come in lisa abramowicz. tom: good morning. on radio, on television, getting ready for a speech by the chairman of the federal reserve system and he does it with a global slowdown in america going this way or that way. which is it? jonathan: the wrong way right now. flow in beijing, throwing frankfurt, throw in london. that is problematic for this federal reserve. one thing we started with this week is whether chairman powell
8:02 am
would attempt to talk about some of the weakness abroad. tom: it has been underplayed, and visiting will be the governor of the bank of england, andrew bailey. what does he want to hear from jerome powell? jonathan: what he wants to hear and what he will hear are two different things. right now the ecb and the bank of england he to weak dollar and a stronger domestic currency but they cannot buy one. look at how rate pricing has change for the ecb and look at what is happened with the currency. we have had the yield move from the front end of the german curve by a lot. it has tripled. the euro is weaker. that is a big problem for the ecb as they looked to hike 50 basis points. tom: we could have a grizzly accord instead of a plasm court, and accord to bring the dollar down. i do not hear that happening, but of all of the markets moving , strong dollar is front and center. jonathan: euro-dollar .9929.
8:03 am
it takes getting used to but maybe we need to get used to it. tom: at jackson hole there will be a debate about two america. jonathan mentioned the article about people behind in america who cannot pay their bill. lisa: one of the themes is the limitations of monetary policy. they might've had a broader mandate before inflation. now they are trying to fight inflation that has a multifaceted cause, whether supply chain disruption, the increase in wages, distortions from the pandemic come at the same time you see a recovery happening. how they speak about where they look at other policy to bridge gaps they cannot fill anymore with monetary policy. tom: we make jokes about the toxic brew. we have ignored the equity market. the dow near 33,000. the toxic brew of what chairman
8:04 am
powell says and what it will mean for the stock market. jonathan: three days of losses into today. a low bit of positivity this morning. up .2% on the s&p, on the nasdaq up to percent. down one basis point to -- something you lead with this morning, crude 95 on wti, 94.86. tom: dollar-yen is not moving. it will be fascinating to see what the yen does. we mentioned the toxic brew that lisa spoke of. someone has written that up. joseph quinlan's chief investor of market strategy at merrill bank. you speak of a toxic trifecta that chairman powell faces. what are the three items of your toxic trifecta?
8:05 am
joseph: rarely have you seen china, the u.s., and the europe be in this toxic brew. in the u.s. it is inflation. in china it is the zero covid policy that has flatlined the economy and in europe the energy crisis and the war. rarely are all three in sync. we are on the cusp or we are in a global recession. tom: i look at the global recession. we see that with china. can we bring the two america? joe: our colleagues are looking for a shallow recession in the next couple of quarters. technically we are already there. we are already talking recession. u.s. recessions are not uncommon
8:06 am
and when we come out of recession the economy is typically stronger. the week go by the wayside and the strong get stronger and that is very important for clients to realize. recessions are not uncommon and when we come out the economy has former footing. jonathan: what is fang 2.0? joe: is a play on hard assets and hard politics -- hard power. it is fuel, it is agriculture, it is aerospace and defense, it is nuclear renewables, and it is about the hard assets in this world we live in and that is where we have been hiding out. it has been working well. lisa: do you think it continue to work well? we have heard about people pulling back on the oil story as we see fear procession percolating around the world. you think that is still in play? joe: we did see a pullback in
8:07 am
commodity prices in july and august. when you look around the world at the electric vehicle revolution, it is very mineral and fossil fuel intensive. one thing we are not talking about is resource protectionism. we think fang 2.0 has some legs. lisa: as you look at the overall sentiment, do you think people are overly bullish were overly bearish? people attribute the recent pullback to this belief from some the fed will be hawkish. do you think there is some sort of balance that is off skew? joe: i think there was at the rally in june and july. we were rallying here in july and august but global growth is cratering. the markets have stepped back and said the global backdrop is more challenging than people realize.
8:08 am
if you look at the u.s. relative to the rest of the world we will come out of these this -- this down torn faster than others who are more dynamic. if you want to allocate capital, it is more towards the u.s. and the rest of the world. the rest of the world, they are putting their money into u.s. assets. jonathan: i often think what is the montage we can make in 12 months that make people look silly, i wonder fit is a montage of people saying the consumer is strong. data after data point suggests they are not. we put out a story on the 20 million across the country, one in six american homes, who have fallen behind on their utility bills. we have one association calling this the worst crisis the group has documented. do you think we will be able to say the consumer is strong given the kind of dynamics you are talking about. when you hear people say the recession will be short and shallow and the consumer is strong, what is the risk to that
8:09 am
view? joe: the only good news is employment. you're right in the sense in the real terms the consumer is falling behind. they are reaching for their credit card. the optimism, the spending, buying lower-priced goods, that will continue. the consumer is still struggling . jonathan: you expect unemployment climbing by the end of the year? joe: no. i think it will be spotty. 3.5%. may be a backup slightly but the job market is very robust. every small business worker we speak to cannot find a worker and that is a big issue. they are willing to pay. that gives the consumer hope to hang in there. jonathan: thank you.
8:10 am
appreciate the context and perspective. there is a data point for everyone. payrolls a few fridays ago. tremendous. lisa: joe quinlan saying hiring is incredibly robust. a block the new york fed puts out research talking about the main drivers of inflation being wage inflation as well as supply chain disruptions. if you look at both of those they are still going strong. if you look at disinflationary -- in particular having to do with wages and attracting labor is still a significant concern. as the labor market strong or are consumers falling behind on their bills? tom: labor is a lagging indicator. i am glad you brought that up with joe quinlan. the idea that he said the unemployment rate is not going to move. his jerome powell going to
8:11 am
guesstimate that tomorrow? this is how hot it is with all of the uncertainty. can you imagine if unemployment stays below 4.2%? jonathan: i am with you. what he can do is establish a reaction function. if unemployment is not climbing in inflation is still sticky, this is the fed still hiking. is that fair? tom: it is fair but i love what jan hatzius said yesterday that we need to start driving the length of time. the media and a lot of the punditry do not want to do that. they want to look out one month, one meeting, two meetings. what if you want to look out 10 meetings? that is where you go back to job analysis, wage inflation analysis, and also economic growth. jonathan: this is the story we might hear more about in the coming days. hold for how long?
8:12 am
lisa: from a labor market standpoint, how much is it transformed as a participation rate falls? what are we talking about the unemployment rate in a -- jonathan: we will talk with the fx and macro strategist from ubs. futures up. stronger equity market bouncing back. a small bounce after three days of losses. this is bloomberg. ritika: keeping you up-to-date with news from around the world with the first word, i am ritika gupta. president biden says he is proud to announce the u.s. is giving almost $3 billion more in weapons to ukraine. it comes on the day the u.s. -- ukraine celebrates its independence in six months after russia invaded. the u.k. imported no fuel from russia. the british government achieved its ambition.
8:13 am
russia has been the uk's largest supplier of refined oil. japan is planning a dramatic shift back to nuclear power more than a decade after the disaster. that includes restarting a number of reactors and developing new plans using next generation technologies. japan is trying to avoid more strains on power grids that have buckled under heavy demands this summer. today president biden will make his long-awaited announcement on student debt relief. some of his allies are likely to be disappointed. the president has been considering forgiving $10,000 per borrower in debt relief. advocates eight the debt relief should be hired to help lower income students. bloomberg has learned scheider electric may buyout minority owners. scheider already owns 40%.

there's not that much they can do. destiny is approaching. the economy is weak. when they talk about supply chain disruptions, they are not able to heat their homes. that really weighs on sentiment in the euro. jonathan: the euro weaker again this morning. that was a brilliant steven englander. a weaker euro and a stronger dollar. equities advancing .3%. euro-dollar negative one third of 1%. yields not giving me much. 3% on the 10 year. crude climbing. we are up .9% higher. tom: the music we just heard on radio and television, soothing music. it is the dance of the grizzlies from 1910. jonathan: that is not what it is
8:20 am
called. tom: i was told that by our music advisor. right now we turn to an important discussion on jackson hole. we are not in plaza accord tension but nevertheless maybe the unspoken grizzly bear. ubs fx and macro strategist goings us. should they be speaking about a too strong dollar jackson hole? vasily: they can be speaking about many things. the rd is the u.s. should be fairly happy with a strong dollar to the extent it helps bring inflation under control or stop this is one time in history when a lot of countries would want a stronger currency, not a weaker currency. this is the time in history where stronger currency will help the fight against inflation
8:21 am
but only the u.s. is getting it. i do not think this will be the primary topic. it is all about volatility, unless those moves become extremely violent and volatile and become the g20 approach the currency markets. i do not think this will be the dominant topic. tom: if it is not a smooth curve, what is the level of euro? common numbers we look at where it breaks or it cracks. do you have a level in your head? vasili: when we have thought about the scenarios in europe, if you get to the worst case scenario, where gas supplies are cut off completely, it is completely conceivable that the euro reaches 95 or even 90. it will be hard to get there without a significant change in
8:22 am
the market catalysts. right now the with euro trades, it is important to understand it is a summer sentiment trade. that can get us to 99, can get us to 98, but you need a new catalyst. those catalyst surround some of your european risks to get us to much lower levels. jonathan: is it in the destiny of the ecb, do they have it within their hands to do something about this or is it out of their hands? vasili: this is an interesting time where the pricing for the ecb keeps going up. if you look at the september meeting we are pricing and the probability they will go more than 50 basis points and from the market perspective this makes sense because inflation keeps pushing higher. it makes sense to frontload. your hiking into a slowing economy so the more you do now
8:23 am
them at less you'll have to do later on. it is a bit of help to the euro and this is the peculiarity of the currency markets. relationships work until they do not. rates keep going higher, yields keep going higher. the market does not believe hiking into the slowing economy helps the currency. when we have full liquidity in september, if the ecb is more hawkish, it could help them to fall into the euro. it is certainly not helping to the extent it would have been a normal time. what would help the euro is some kind of major shift in sentiment surrounding gas supplies and energy. jonathan: you have to make a call on vladimir putin, ultimately, this war with ukraine to make a call on the euro. lisa: i wonder if the euro were to go down to 90, if there were a cut off, when does it become an existential threat?
8:24 am
at what point does it decimate an economy already reeling in the face of a lot of inflationary pressures? jonathan: you think week denomination risk returns? vasili: i stink -- i think we are still pretty far from that. the problem with european debt crisis originally before mario draghi was there was no real backstop. the backdrop was all of the piecemeal fiscal solutions. there was never an ecb backstop. now there is an ecb backstop. that makes a big difference. if you look at the cross assets, fx is probably where it has been priced in. european equities are probably second and then the corporate -- i think you will see some of the risk premiums being priced more
8:25 am
aggressively across different asset markets and not just the euro. jonathan: short-term weaker euro , longer-term your more constructive? vasili: we are more constructive. let's look at the broader picture. i know jackson hole is coming. you should be longer dollar when the economy is slowing. this should be a relatively shallow recession. there will be a turning point in that cyclical turn will coincide with some dollar read this from very expensive levels. a good friend of the show -- jonathan: a good friend of the show over the years. thank you. looking for more constructive you on the euro towards the end of the year. tom: and we heard that from steven englander as well. if i do a bunch of fancy technical, i want to make this

8:34 am
perceived declining inflation? tom p.: we do. we think inflation will slope and you start to see slowing around the turn of the year at the core level. headlight is a different animal. we will see what happens with energy prices. our house call is they will be on the rise. we think they will wind up slowing down before the end of the year. you have to go through one more month of unfavorable comp. we think there is price pressure that we are starting to see the downward price pressure. it is not going to be a notable way but you will start to see things slow even as early as the end of the year, and as we roll into next year, i think it is reasonable to think for inflation could surprise people to the downside. there's a lot of price pressure in the pipeline. is downward price pressure in
8:35 am
the pipeline and we think that will hold up. lisa: others say we will look at wages and how much they are increasing, look at some of these secure elements, look at food, look at gas. how do you factor those things in and when you start to think i am wrong in the fed does need to go further than some people think? tom p.: this is a great question and i think it is important. i can see a plausible scenario where headline prices remain at stable and high levels if you do get this drift higher from an energy price perspective and food prices continue to remain low. we are seeing signs food prices are slowing down. let's say that does happen. you can see a scenario work for prices slow. there is a tricky spot for the
8:36 am
fed will not -- tricky spot for the fed. they cannot control food or energy prices. it will be a question of what about inflation expectations? if inflation expectation arising at a pace the fed cannot control, the fed needs to make more of a distinction in that regard. the fed and others are focused on the poor -- on the core. they got up into this loop where they only talked about how high prices. i think that will haunt them if you do not see headline prices flow with poor -- with core. lisa: let's say the fed comes out with this nuanced message of inflationary push getting wind next year. if they say that doesn't the market rip? financial conditions will move against them, especially
8:37 am
considering the expectations for a hawkish read from jay powell. tom p.: that is fair in the medium-term but there are a lot of challenges in the backdrop. i know people who keep latching onto the idea that the pin report showed acceleration in jobs data. i get it, but does it make sense? we heard tom saying labor is a lagging indicator and he is 100% right. people seem to lose that narrative. let's talk about the exhilaration in jobs which people are still talking about two weeks after the report. jobless claims are up. even if you make an adjustment for the seasonal factor, they are up 30% from the lows. that has stayed consistent with potential job losses shortly thereafter. also we coincide with countless companies talking about laying people off. the ism, all of the labor
8:38 am
indicators are below breakevens. the labor differential from the conference board is now starting to roll over. hours worked are sliding. it is actually taking average weekly earnings within. the cherry on top of all of that is volume of spending is slowing. i do not know what more people need to see to know the things this wishy year that appreciated . tom: -- housing is approaching what he calls a tailspin. is the norm in shock at the end of the year does that fold over the rent dynamics which is flat or even stabilized? tom p.: it is easy to say housing is in a recession right now. i do not think that is a heroic
8:39 am
call him anyway. most people are prone to appreciate that. i think prices will start to fall, outright decline. i think that could happen before the end of the year. these things take time. i've been chuckling, macro is such a focus and maybe these are conversations we should have been having with people over the couple of decades i have been doing this. these things take time to develop. if it is already in front of you , housing is falling into recession, the consumer is slowing. by then it is too late. we are talking about things that take time to develop it seems clear we are moving in that direction. jonathan: some of these things are the objectives. i wonder when we get to that more problematic phase and how high the hurdle is, not for the
8:40 am
fed to cut, but for the fed to pause? tom p.: i agree with that. our view is the fed stops by the end of the year. you are at 3.50 and the hiking cycle will be done. get policy into somewhat restrictive territory. let that marinade and we will be in fine shape next year. if we make a mistake, things will slow. the real risk is the fed does not unhitch its wagon from headline prices and they keep going. these guys are going to jackson hole. i'm sorry i did not go to jackson hole. i heard a bear creeping ground behind you. where i live in westchester there are bears everywhere. tom: they are not grizzlies.
8:41 am
tom p.: i will have you up for drinks and we will talk about bears. i think the one thing that is really compelling and the thing i think we need to hold the fed to the fire on is what they need from inflation. if you're waiting for inflation get to 2% -- i do not think that is what they are going to do. i think they know better. if i'm wrong and they keep hiking rates, the hiking cycle will go on for meaningfully longer than anyone appreciates and the recession will be meaningfully different. jonathan: tom purcelli of rbc capital markets. welcome back anytime. coming up on "the open," bob michele of jp morgan together with mike wilson of morgan stanley. we will speak to them for about 30 minutes and then will catch up with julie beale around the

8:43 am
how much is is leader attached to his consumer projects. >> this is a fed project he has embraced and he wants to go the course. questions have been raised since the implementation of the strategy. we are top euro for billion dollars towards the end of the year. as you do not see a turnaround anytime soon, patienv will start -- patience will start to wear thin. you are seeing that in delaying the launch of the checking account which is being delayed and one of the issues the u.s. has been hit by. tom: the heart and soul of this comic goldman sachs has always been firm in the partnership debate. is everyone on the same page is
8:44 am
this a heated debate in the firm. everyone is on the same page with respect to consumer. questions will be asked like is the lagging stopped. where they too reliant on their core watching -- you're losing a lot of money and you still have to wait quite a bit longer to get to the david solomon i told you so moment. lisa: goldman sachs bit a very public foray into the consumer banking sector. a lot of people were wondering how it would transform the bank. at what point is this because of
8:45 am
competition that what point is this because of something similar to the moment that they tried to get into consumer banking -- they have hopes to breakeven by this year. that is not happening. it does not look like that will happen data. they were concerned about all these numbers in the early years they were learning -- they wanted to make sure they were held accountable and the market that they recognize the losses of front and knowledge -- it becomes a sore point and that is why i say it is not just the fact we are heading into a challenging economy or into a difficult market for consumers, it is also to do with the execution of this unit inside the firm that is north --
8:46 am
lisa: to elaborate on this, people will take this news they are delaying the rollout of checking accounts, or does this mean for other big banks in terms of consumer units, given how much we try to expand. are you saying this is an idiosyncratic story of arab -- or are you saying this is something we might see the notes of in other big investment banks? >> but that we have seen with bigger consumer banks is any issues they have with one segment of the market they are able to offset -- the fact you are in a rising rate environment means you are a big bank happy with the increasing rate interest income. basic and adjusted or does skill levels to make sure no one stands -- it is very much a show
8:47 am
me story right now. because there is so much focus on where costs are going in that business, i think we need to thread the needle. tom: u.n. jenny kill it at the bottom of this essay and talking about it takes $500 to account. even to that they lose 15% of their accounts. why do they want to compete with fortress diamond workers moynihan? >> goldman has always had this thing. you cannot just go there and offer lending products without building relationship with the consumer.
8:48 am
