open for a rate hike. for we get to cpi and bank earnings later this week, can we stop with the quote of -- start with the quote of emmanuel macron. that these words left his mouth in an interview. here is the quote, the great risk europe faces is that "it gets caught up in a crisis that are not ours that prevents us from building strategic autonomy." he said things like they should draw a line, suggested a laundering -- line drawn between what they want to do and what the united states would like to see them do. tom: it is a geopolitical issue. ambassador hoss was directly involved in the troubles and multiple geopolitical tensions.
6:02 am
to your point on mr. micron, everything i learned last week is china is front and center, particularly imf week where we see micron will be a part of that. -- macron will be a part that. jonathan: how do you think the europeans would respond if a u.s. president said exactly the same thing that macron set about europe, ukraine and russia? tom: there has always been this tension between us and france, but it has certainly heightened in the last couple of weeks. ms. vander line went along with macron and she has vetted among other things to be the head of nato. jonathan: we need to talk about

the data. cbi on wednesday, payrolls on friday. heroes leaving the door open to go another 25 -- payrolls leaving the door open to go another 25 basis points. tom: i thought the mood was captured from some of our viewers that we are just smack in the middle of nowhere. it was mentioned twice and you look at the technicals and the fundamentals and bring over the economic data, it is nowhere is where we are. jonathan: the march employment report keeps the fed hiking 25 basis points. cpi on wednesday, bank earnings later this week. it starts with jp morgan coming up later on friday. here is a snapshot of the market . equity features on the s&p 500 positive by not even 1/10 of 1%.
6:04 am
yields were higher off the back of the payrolls report. the 10 year is down a single basis point on a 10 year yield and on a two-year, down fout. tom: that would be like a 3.81 is maybe the tension you need to see in terms of economic slowdown and a raging debate in the research over the weekend, are we in a recession? we have heard that for months but the adjustment of what kind of recession it will be and maybe that will be over the next 10 days. jonathan: can into our chief strategist. is it your view that the move and the payrolls report leaves the door open for the fed two again in early may. tony: great to be with you again. i think it could be, the market
6:05 am
has tried to guess the way the fed funds futures is incredible. it gives them the ability if they want to to raise. again, if you look at the lending data that came out friday, which over a two week basis was the worst in history. it is incredible how quickly the lending market is shutting down and we are rid about whether the fed is going to raise rates 25 basis needs. -- basis points. jonathan: on friday we will get data that we never used to look at. we would be talking about payrolls as more important. is the data on bank lending important as the payrolls? tony: and the payroll data on friday. i would love to get you a firm opinion. weekly data showed you had a tight labor market, flat to tight and that that revised out.
6:06 am
now the initial unemployment claims trending higher based upon the revision. i am careful to look at the government data in the fed is making a policy on data it knows to be revised. when you look back historically and people look back and they say how could the fed have done that way back then and look at what the data look like. and the answer is the data didn't look like that when they made the decision. it got highly revised. you can play the silliness, formulas, algorithms, the bottom line is, do you have access to money? do you have access for money to go out and spend? banks aren't money to lend because the yield curve is still inverted. tom: your claim is who participated in the bull market
6:07 am
by saying i am going to wait for a recession. now it is here and you are cautious. are the big tech stocks defensive stocks? tony: i think they are defensive until they are not, as we found out in 2022. i am known historically as being bullish all the time because typically money is flowing. when money is not flowing, i am a bear. we have been on the defensive path because when you shutdown the availability in money, it is hard for people to spend. and there are only ways to get money, you can earn it, get it from a bank and take it out of the markets. the markets have been week so that is not getting you extra money. but we found out friday is that lending is not happening and in addition, you are at full employment. we are a year and change into this. now is not the time to get
6:08 am
bearish. i want to attack the low as it comes with the recession versus play for it. tom: friday we looked at bank flows and loans and there seems to two schools of thought. one is a substantial real estate bank crisis is here and the other is no, it's not come it is decidedly not like it was 16 years ago. which one is it oh wise one? tony: you don't have to guess. you're getting almost 5% on a three-month and six-month u.s. treasury bill. you are right, we are in the middle of tactical nowhere land. fundamentally we are slowing down. the only time you can prove you are in a recession is after it already started. until then, you cannot disprove soft ending scenario. so i am leaning toward is going to become a bigger issue than people give it credit or and
6:09 am
maybe a deeper recession than people if it credit for. you have had the fed raise rates, and as you know, when jerome powell talked about channeling his inner paul volcker, you knew he was going to invert the curve. he has done it in an historic way. when volker did it, you were in an unleveraged system but now we are in a generally leveraged system. that two week data on lending didn't happen for weeks ago, it happened over the last two weeks. you don't have to try to bet on the downside and run for the hills. the time to get cautious was over a year ago. now is the time to look for opportunity as it presents itself but you can't do it unless i understand and believe we are going into a recession, which we look at the inversion of the yield curve, leading indicators, lending standards
6:10 am
are the senior loan officer survey from the fed, anytime they have been anywhere near the current levels you have gone into recession. jonathan: we think about depth, duration, diffusion. you made a comment on depth and the severity of a recession that a lot of people say will be shallow. what makes you think maybe it will be deeper than some people think? tony: because if the fed stays higher for longer, i think the loft -- soft landing is the worst case scenario because it keeps the yield curve inverted and disincentivize lending. most mortgages are somewhere below 3.5%. many are below 3%. that means you have to take the 10 year bond yield down below 1.5% for most people to refinance their debt. the depth and severity will be determined i how quickly the fed begins to cut rates.
6:11 am
a month ago i said i continued to believe the fed raised basis points too much. a month ago that looked silly until the to you goes from 5.04 23.93. jonathan: 3.60 last week. tony: that is more than 100 basis points. jonathan: as always, thank you. the turner and the two-year -- the turnaround of the two-euro, we had 3.60 at one point, and the high was 4.13% on the two-year. we talked about how this is screaming recession. tom: it is screaming every week. i agree the two-year yield is definitely the thing to watch here. all you do is look at it and it
6:12 am
is something we have never seen. we are showing march and february this year and we haven't open out of this. the thing that nobody is framing is the lower rates. the 10 year yield, 2.99%. who is talking about that? i think we should go to hong kong because on sunday you can watch four soccer games at the same time jonathan: -- same time. jonathan: you can do that here. features unchanged on the s&p 500. welcome back. this is bloomberg. ♪ lisa: with the worst -- the first word i'm lisa mateo.

6:18 am
strategic autonomy. a lot of pushback against that quote over the last 24 hours. tom: a lot of pushback and it is everywhere as well. i am looking and larry is francine, -- and where is francine lacqua when we need her? the answer is, these are immense challenges. you mentioned the political at the top of the hour and we will address this and what is really valuable is we do this with isaac: tan skate, the director of policy -- isaac will tan ski -- isaac bultanski. they talked about deep division and social unrest and maybe that describes america and maybe even china.
6:19 am
what does this mean fort washington? isaac: there are a lot of folks wicking up and surprised by the commentary. as we continue to digest this, one of the things that will be highlighted by traditional washington is no matter what country you are in, all politics are global. it makes sense for president macron, as he is fighting battles at home given the unrest there, to maintain it we continue to see the world split. it makes sense for him to continue saying we should de-risk the relationship with china rather than further decoupling because he can maintain that optionality and sell it back. tom: i don't know what the imf optionality is in the meetings here die really don't.
6:20 am
-- in the meetings. i really don't. jonathan: with the french president and leader of the chinese communist party is remarkable in the comments from europe and the french leader. i find it staggering there is a big reason. it is a not my opinion on what he should or shouldn't say but i see -- don't see how he can reconcile it if the u.s. president said the same thing about the situation in europe. go back to the editorial from the wall street journal. heat weakens the deterrence against chinese aggression towards taiwan. -- he weakens the deterrence against aggression towards taiwan. how can you make the argument the united states should have a role to play in what is taking place in ukraine and at the very same time so you don't want to be on the same page with the united dates when it comes to

taiwan? tom: this goes back to degaulle and the tension between the united states and france. the answer is, i wonder what tim cook thinks of that video or dialogue we are having with isaac boltansky. jonathan: this president joe biden has done a good job of keeping them on the same page. isaac: the he has prided himself on multilateralism and responding to china and global needs. this will be particularly concerning for this white house, even more so than previous white houses because that is something president biden has highlighted as a departure from his predecessor. ultimately, this will be something that hurts the u.s. and european alliance and
6:22 am
something that have a longer tail to it than some of the normal political flareups because the imagery is surprising. that is something all of us are digesting and it is a bigger question in terms of as we move to this bipolar world, where does everyone stand? we have hawkishness in d.c. as shown by the clip that opened this up but you are not seeing that in other european capitals, is out degrees. jonathan: talked about the tension in the last six months between europe and the night is states and europe and china and that was around the inflation reduction act. has that been addressed and how has it been addressed? isaac: we are too busy fighting with ourselves to get ready for the fight with other global partners and competitors. there is a fair amount of infighting over the specific regulations regarding in
6:23 am
particular electric vehicles and sourcing of materials around that. he saw senator joe manchin who was the key vote to their pushing for more stringent sourcing materials and requirements from the treasury department. he has not gotten what he wanted their. i can tell you from making the rounds on this issue, there are many folks in d.c. that care about the international locations. the focus is trying to get it on the regulatory side to appease everyone from joe manchin to senator elizabeth warren. tom: you were in the zeitgeist this weekend of america talking about manufacturing america. you had intel going into new albany, ohio. you have a visceral feel for this. do you buy the idea that ohio will become a new manufacturing for america and that america get its act back together? isaac: i will say this much --
6:24 am
we campaign in rhetoric and govern in prose and there has been an enormous amount of money thrown at the manufacturing sector from the chips act and the infrastructure side. what i have noticed is there are some chokepoints for those moneys getting from your federal lawmakers now into the local community. those chokepoints are local government, state governments, local building laws, all of these things pile up. i am optimistic and you have to be, and why wouldn't you want to be, especially within money -- with the money we spent to spur manufacturing especially in semiconductors. a lot of that money seeps out and is struggling to get into the shovel ready project. jonathan: great to catch up. that is isaac boltansky.

you and i had to the imf meetings later this week and has to be a key feature of the conversation in washington. tom: my visit made it clear to me there is no other topic than china, but the overlay of china is on the still stunning economic growth. this is the backdrop of china we will see because china is not helping as much as we thought. five-year forward, 3% or less economic growth. the maximum any textbook is mobile gdp at 3% is a recession. jonathan: you have seen the china call, is china up this year in 2023. tom: then what? jonathan: just the cannibal -- the mechanical story of the improving gdp and then you get the headwinds. tom: we are not going to take

jonathan: equity is just about unchanged on the s&p 500. here is a snapshot of the price action, starting with the s&p. nasdaq down .1%. after a year-long stretch of upside surprises on payrolls, they continued on friday. softer than expected data dominated last week and friday things turn around. yields were higher, the two-year down for basis points, 3.93. the 10-year was down to 3.37. jonathan: it will be interesting to see if the 30 year bankrate mortgage comes in as we have

6:32 am
. we have been talking about this for months and we see continued resiliency. tom: was always billion see on friday and we need to recalibrate. lindsey piegza joins us now. how did you recalibrate of the jobs report? lindsey: the biggest take away was that the labor market remains solid, allowing the fed to keep its i on the proverbial inflation call -- it's eye in the proverbial inflation call. keeping an additional rate hike on the table as we look to beyond the may 3 meeting. tom: i want to go to the process to get to negative nonfarm payrolls. how into a slowdown presumed do
6:33 am
you get to substantially declining non-form payrolls? lindsey: we need to see is the fed is watching the unemployment rate because right now with the downward take saw on friday, this does not suggest we are anywhere near the upward trajectory in terms of the jobless rate that it has been looking for in order to signal the spiral has been stunted. wages are still very robust and still within the range of 46% as we have been for two years. businesses are still desperate for workers. with so i millions of workers on the sidelines hesitant to come back and millions upon millions of job vacancies. from a macroeconomic perspective, there simply is still a very clear indication the labor market is tight. tom: so nominal gdp and earnings
6:34 am
season, i want you to suggest where nominal gdp will sit. will you set nominal gdp at a higher level? lindsey: not necessarily, because we have already seen underlying weakness on the part of the consumer. we saw that clear resilience in january. by february, the consumer was pulling back. data is splitting the difference. while q1 is likely to remain in positive territory, not robust levels at as the fed continues to tighten, that is where we start to worry about the negative print, the first indication of the downward trajectory into negative growth. like most economists, we have push that out for an additional three or six months depending on the ongoing resilience from the consumer. jonathan: that has been destroyed story for the last 12 months. we talk about the data
6:35 am
dependency at the federal reserve. over the last month we are wondering if it has shifted what data it depends on. can you talk to me about this new data is? some thought it was about cpi and gdp in now it is about something else. lindsey: the fed is focusing on wage growth, one of the key components they looked at in the employment report because from the fed's perspective, the primary concern is the wage price spiral whereby wages rise as employees demand higher compensation to then go out into the marketplace and pay higher prices in it retail and services. but the businesses really pressure from employees to continue to raise wages and then ways -- raise prices in the market. this is the primary focus. i don't think their attention
6:36 am
has shifted in any way from inflation, but we are starting to look at something for metrics. the employment report friday, i do think somewhat was a bit uneven. the next key report the committee will be focusing on will be the cpi and ppi report later this week and that will set the tone for whether or not the level of disinflation has gained momentum, giving them confidence that can back off from a higher rate environment. jonathan: wen yu here this -- when you hear this, is set more important than labor market? lindsey: it is a different focus. the fed is looking at some different data that will not deter or detract from the focus of reinstating price stability. that is the primary goal. chairman powell has said the economy doesn't work for anyone without price stability. they are aware of the market
6:37 am
volatility that we are seeing but they have different policies and metrics to put in place to help stabilize markets while at the same time they continue to focus on reinstating price stability. tom: help us get out of this glorious week we will have in washington and the stunning statement by the managing director that we will see a five-year, 3% global gdp. china participates, india, maybe select others participate, singapore, i will choose. what does that mean for the united states, sub 2% gdp for 60 months? lindsey: i think that is not unreasonable. the bigger question is what is the long run potential for the u.s. economy and i would argue it is sub 2%. even if we do see the u.s. economy show ongoing resilience, pushing out the downturn or the recessionary call towards the second half of this year, even
6:38 am
after we emerge from that weakness, what is the upside potential? it doesn't appear to be overly robust growth and that will be more difficult position for the fed trying to reengage and get the economy back to a long-term trajectory upward potential. they will be limited in their tools. tom: this is so important. what you just said is outrageous and i would say when the first places i heard it was from the great michael for rowley at j.p. morgan -- michael forelli at j.p. morgan. the piegza-feroli economy. this is stunning what you and michael are talking about a run rate of under 2%. can you tell me that is politically acceptable? lindsey: absolutely not. i think as the economy remains
6:39 am
under pressure, there will be a lot of pressure on fiscal policy to step in and supplement that growth. the more we see from the fiscal side, the more difficult it will be for the monetary side to achieve policy goals. as week move into this election, it will be increasingly politically unfavorable if the fed has to force the american economy to take its medicine in order to get price stability back in place. the economy doesn't work for anyone longer-term if we allow inflation to become entrenched. the near term view for officials in washington may have alternative incentives to continue to provide artificial support. tom: and she come with us to washington? jonathan: if she wants to come on rotor with you and i, but we can ask. thank you. lindsey: thank you for having

6:41 am
be a disinflationary bust. i would say this about the bond market, take the range of last week from 3.64 the low on a two year to 4.13% at the high on a two-year. that is a monster range on the week. 3.64, weaker than expected data, and then the two year yield on friday adjusting of the back of a resilient labor market, of ton of volatility in bonds. tom: that is the uncertainty within the system and i will go back to first principles. the church service on sunday was emotional. the guy got up in front of a packed church and said we haven't done this in four years and it really hit me. we are coming out of the pandemic and now beginning to do things we used to think about in 2018 and 2019, and where are we

now cell phone users have priority over us. and your marriage survived that? you can almost feel the drag when people walk by with their phones. oh i can't hear you... you're froze-- ladies, please! you put it on airplane mode when you pass our house. i was trying to work. we're workin' it too. yeah! work it girl! woo! i want to hear you say it out loud. well, i could switch us to xfinity. those smiles. that's why i do what i do. (jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success that and the paycheck. is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4.
6:59 am
before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try?

opinion. there was one last week who said he believes the last hike we got from the federal reserve was the final hike of this cycle in his headline reads as follows. the credit crunch has started. that is his view. tom: everybody writing about the churn, we mentioned in the last hour as well, lori calvin sena joined us and she talks about a little north of neutral. it is this ambivalence that tells me we need massive data dependency. jonathan: speaking of data, april 12 cpi is coming up on wednesday. you need to talk about the banks, as well. that is the big development of the last month or so. let us get a snapshot of the price action.

there are fears that lead to nowhere. you call it the comfort zone, defined the comfort zone. peter: we are waiting to see how the economic data plays out. it's been turning back down after a strong strain. we get to the earnings, that is what will drive it. the biggest thing i am looking for is to see how the market responds to week earnings. do we get a huge bounce? if we are not respond well, i think that we had lower. tom: is it 10 stocks, seven stocks, 20 stocks, or cannot broaden out? peter: market will take cues from the 10 to 20 stocks we've been looking at for a while. you can hide out and well in the stocks that have underperformed. i am looking at the rest of 2000 .

usually of the russell 2000 is doing well, high yield struggling tends to be a correlation. tom: does he know lisa is not here? jonathan: he is doing it to fill in. talk to us about bank lending data, how important is it going to be for the market going forward? peter: some people take the fact that banks are boring less from the emergency civilities is a good sign. a big plum and blue -- plummet in bank lending as a whole. we saw the 10th straight week of deposit outflows. my concern is we have shifted from a credit risk concern to my bank is only paying .2% or .4%, i can get 4% relatively easy. you see the drain on the banking system continue, that will affect lending.
7:06 am
this is a slow burn. jonathan: why do you believe that is a signal of what to come and not a reflection of the last month? peter: i view these things as cycles. you go into panic mode, then you take it back. maybe we have too much money sitting in bank deposits, what do we do with it? that is may be a multi-month process for a love corporations to go through had -- through. that is a slower process, but that is what we moved into. tom: more than anyone on a wall street, you have a military vision, a set of people completely tied into geopolitics which is what we are hearing about every day. is what he wrote about that would be out there somewhere, does your board think it is now
7:07 am
and how does that play in? peter: we have 19 retired generals and admirals who serve as the intelligence group. we see the world as the most dangerous it has been in a long time. russia ukraine, we are seeing tensions pick up in the middle east, we do not like the fact that chinese seem to be getting saudi to embrace china more. i am getting nervous a lot of investors pay lip service to geopolitical risk then push it off, this is five years away, 10 years away. i am an american company, how does this impact me? i think we are being too complacent. tom: look at the russell 2000, which 2002 i want on? gold with the speculation of the russell 2000? peter: i watch gold, i china to get too involved in gold.
7:08 am
-- i try not to get too involved in gold. if i get positive, that is where i jump in. jonathan: you mentioned maybe people are underestimating or under appreciating what is developing on the geopolitical front. what should people be doing? they see the news, military exercises from china around taiwan. what are they meant to do? peter: lighting up on the tech companies, they will be the most effective if anything happens. if there is a further element of fear, you are supposed to be looking at countries who ultimately have to shift production two. tom: are you telling me to sell apple and go along with olivia? -- go long bolivia? jonathan: let me phrase in another way. are you lighting up on companies
7:09 am
that have direct exposure to china, the mainland? tech firms in that sense? chipmakers in the crosshairs? peter: that is part of it. it is driven by the fact people expect lower rates and the fed to juice up the stocks like it did in 2020. i do not think that will play at the same way. we will get earnings and fear coming out of the companies. jonathan: when you say get along with latin american stories, is that an fx trade, a bond trade, and equity trade? peter: a little bit of each. he will have closer relationships. you want to be building and accumulating that position. mexico has its own set of dangerous. at some point, the cartel will either have to get pushed back and have a real development or that will be a problem. there is no easy answer. tom: the geopolitical tensions
7:10 am
whether it is across this board or that voter -- across this border or that border or removed, doesn't wall street find comfort in the equities? peter: i think they are going to do that, i think they will add more into fixed income, not necessarily growth stocks. i believe there is hope there will we normalize with china. reopening. it is treated highly well, likes that. yet we had a steady trend away from china and with taiwan, the one thing that is accelerating his people reconsidering how they think about southeast asia as a whole. if you were not going to produce in china, you are likely to produce in vietnam or somewhere there. openings are thinking of moving away because it is clear china has the ability to flex their might.

not just the french area in shanghai, it is commercialized but beautifully restored. france has an original relationship with china, it's been different than britain, then the united states. let us jump to this and the domestic ramifications we see around your investment and economics. gregory has been a huge support, does washington care about what european leaders do when they migrate to china? gregory: absolutely. i think the chinese story continues to be the most trouble someone globally for the u.s. right now. right up there with ukraine. in washington, there is a tremendous antipathy toward china for the way they handled covid, the way they spy on everybody. the animosity is palpable.
7:20 am
tom: we heard this from a number of guests area -- guests. but do we have the power to project to the philippines and beyond the pacific rim? greg: we do, and i think we have the power to spend a heck of a lot more on defense. i think that is the peer investment story that the defense budget is going to get another enormous increase. maybe a haircut for ukraine, that is to be debated with kevin mccarthy. defense spending will be the big player, because of china. jonathan: you mentioned the speaker of the house. they agree on issues around china, mostly. some separation. but his talk about real division, the debt ceiling. for the market, the landing point later this summer, wherever the date might be, might not pay attention to it.
7:21 am
do we need to pay attention now to what is developing? greg: if you look at what has happened the last few weeks in the house, it has been shocking. no progress by the republicans on any legislation. immigration, crime, whatever. no hearings on hunter biden or anything like that. there's been comments from kevin mccarthy the new york times picked up last week, very harsh toward his republican colleagues. saying they are incompetent, they have not gotten anything done. republicans have not taken that well, unsurprisingly. there's a growing feeling there is no rush at all to move on the debt ceiling. a default is still on the table. jonathan: a default, sit on that for the moment. what do you think that will look like? greg: we will wake up some morning in the u.s. and say we cannot make our payments, maybe there will be an emergency move
7:22 am
by the federal reserve. you cannot move that out. the implications around the world would be astonishing to see the u.s. not make these payments. what surprises me is how sanguine the financial markets are thinking it's the little boy who cried wolf. we have to worry about it. the fact mccarthy cannot get along with his members makes this a greater threat. tom: i have audible to a spectacular saturday night live skit, it was president trump attending the last supper. we do not need to go into the details. whatever anybody's politics, it was well done. except it is not funny. explain to us the power mr. has over the republican party. we are making jokes, except it is extraordinary the moment we are living. greg: it is remarkable. you look at the fact trump has a lead of 25, 30 points over any

governor of florida does not. is this the guy democrats want to race against in the next election? greg: the democrats are feeling pretty good. the major reason is abortion. the vote in wisconsin last week, polls show the average american feels republicans are too strident on the issue. republicans are going to have to moderate on this or they will get a major push back in the next campaign. jonathan: the middle ground, the center of the country. where do you see the republican party making an argument for the center ground in this country? greg: they are not. that is an albatross. look at tennessee and the abortion issue, you see the country is feeling republicans have gone too far. jonathan: thank you. not a judgment on the policy, the politics. a judgment on how he thinks it

jonathan: counting down to the opening bell after a long weekend, about two hours away. equity futures look like this. s&p turning lower by a little more than a 10th of 1%, nasdaq 100 down half of 1%. last week about flat, even in the face of expected data throughout the week. on friday, payrolls with little upside surprise. just north of 230. the two year yield is all over the place. lows in the three 60's, right now 3.9 three, yield level by five basis points. let us consider this. markets are rapidly switching between narratives, first the
7:31 am
fed was going to cut rates due to financial instability. now bank deposits have stabilized. markets were looking for job loss to signal the company entering a recession, but the report was solid. it could shift the narrative back to inflation that is too high, may be pricing out some of the cuts. he is looking for more hikes, may 3 is the next one. let us finish on foreign exchange. may 3 federal reserve, may 4 the ecb. the euro just south of 109. tom: we analyze monetary policy as discrete, we had a guest earlier mention -- this is a huge theme of imf interviews -- of dovetailing fiscal policy or what they call fiscal space. they never talk about monetary space. but fiscal space is one of the options.
7:32 am
what fiscal space does europe have? what optionality do the good people, the fractious people of europe have? i am not an optimist about that. jonathan: this is the store would been told the last 12 months, monetary policy was constrained by higher inflation and could not respond to economic shocks. we heard the same about fiscal policy after the stimulus to the pandemic. then a couple of weeks data points then we get cuts from the federal reserve and you see it priced into the bond market. we will hear from john williams, one of the speakers you want to pay attention to. expecting another 25 basis point hike at the fed's main meeting before holding prices steady the rest of the year. with sticky inflation, a strong labor market, and a resilient consumer, we do not expect the fed to pivot quickly.
7:33 am
race for more volatility in rates and the curve. we are playing the game again. the market is priced for a lot of cuts. tom: what is important is the heritage of derivatives, they slice and dice different dynamics. what is the dynamic of service sector inflation you see right now? >> that is a good question, the tug-of-war is between the services side of inflation, higher rent, at least in the first half, which will dictate the thinking on cpi. this week's report in cpi will be interesting, because we might see signs of cooling in the housing market, which is what we are looking to see. that is more of a second-half story than a first-half story. people have jobs, you have a strong jobs report.
7:34 am
as long as people are employed, you are going to see more spending and services. tom: you go birds on us, you have the crosby channeling and say turn, turn, turn. is that what we are doing, going birds and every season turn, turn, turn? subadra: the big question coming in for us is when is the turn going to be? was it october of last year when 10 year yields peaked at 4.25%, or will we see another high in yields before we see a steady decline? our view has been that yields peaked in the fourth quarter of last year, then gradually declined during the course of the year. accurately pinpointing where it is on inflation will be extraordinary and environment like this. you are looking at a variety of factors.
7:35 am
the push and pull between higher energy prices, sometimes it is certain sectors of the open services side of the economy that are pushing higher. rent will remain high for the first half of the year. really, causing -- calling the turn is going to be difficult. it looks like yields seem to have peaked. it looks like we have one more hike in the cards. why? because of the fact the employment picture is still strong. the labor market and consumers are resilient. it has to come from tightening credit conditions, which is what you are starting to see in the banking sector. jonathan: how important was the data on friday that alluded to that? subadra: it was very important, in my view. we've been tracking the fed data
7:36 am
as well as the h.8 dated to see with the take-up has been as well as with the deposits have been from smaller banks. a couple of weeks back, we had the dallas fed president talk about credit conditions broadly tightening for small and medium-sized banks, almost seizing. you see the tremendous amount of deposit from smaller banks, guess what? smaller in medium banks are going to tighten credit conditions. that is where you are seeing a credit crunch. it is not in the top 10 banks, it is in the small to medium-sized banks where you are seeing the tightening of credit conditions. jonathan: i've had mixed responses. on friday, what do you consider to be the important data point? the data you alluded to moments
7:37 am
ago or the payroll support the came earlier in the morning? subadra: i think both, that is what makes the whole equation confusing. they are trying to waive financial stability concerns over inflation and employment being quite strong and inflation will continue to rise. that is the balancing act the fed has to play meeting after meeting. i think they are going to focus on getting rates to a certain level then key policies stable while they assess financial stability concerns. tom: across the ark, will foreigners continue to bid for bills, notes and bonds? subadra: absolutely. but get all of the cash going out of the smaller regions into the larger banks, going all in
7:38 am
to money market funds. why? cash is king, that is where you want to keep your money if you do not know how things will pan out. this is typical of end of cycle dynamics you have seen in almost every fed cycle, it tends to be very volatile. we do not know how things will pan out. in that environment, it will make sense to put your money in cash. this time, you are getting a pretty decent return. so you are seeing the rush to put money into money market funds, you are seeing demands from foreign investors for short-term investments. returns are pretty good by being in the front of the energy curve. tom: i look at the treasury curve. give me the mystery of curve dissing version. that is the one thing not in the
7:39 am
literature right now. a vision of, where is the curve inversion going to be in six months or a year? i am not hearing about this. subadra: we noticed that typically, when the curve inverts -- about six month after that is when the fed policy starts to pivot. i think we've probably seen peak conversion, we have seen a dramatic rise in the steepening of the yield curve. that tends to be a leading indicator of the risk of a recession. peak conversion looks like it is behind us. if policy is on a pivot, you are starting to see the signs of a switch in the policy from hiking to perhaps more easing posture,
7:40 am
if you will. jonathan: wonderful to get your view, thank you for being with us. pushing back a little bit against the cuts that are priced. tom: absolutely. 40, 50 basis points of inversion , 80 out through 100. we come back to 50, the number of right now is 58 basis points. is anybody modeling 48 or 38 or 28? i do not think this is talked about enough. the basic vanilla curve, 90% of our audience on radio and tv do not look at it. for pros, this is oxygen. nobody is modeling this inversion. jonathan: think about how much the story has changed and how quickly, and how many times the story has changed in just three months. citi published about it this

we had to medicate her this morning because her husband would not tell her what does the world cost. she is going down there with five or six people, including her beloved son-in-law. what does a family pay at disney world and what is that for mr. iger? michael: if you told me when the pandemic started that disney's parks would be ahead of 2019's profits in 2022, i would say no way. the rebound in disney's profit margins are insane. the margins are higher in 22 then they were in 2019. it is everywhere. there's been a massive rise of people with willingness to pay for travel. tom: i noticed. michael: i think last year was 30%, there was not price taking as much as people went for this

8:03 am
tom: let's pause for 15 on friday the known world was not watching what was released by the bank so we are just now getting that into the monday morning there could be any number of nuances but the fact is think crisis is not over. jonathan: u.s. bank lending you've got to work out whether that's just the reflection or a signal of what's to come some people believe it's a signal of what's to come. tom: i'm going to pull an audible here there is to fuse off of that think report and the depths of friday and one view is it's really bad. i think morgan stanley was featured on that over the weekend. the other view is, yeah, it's bad but it's not too thousand 8, 2 thousand 9, 2010 bed. those are the two schools of
8:04 am
thought. jonathan: certainly that period wasn't extreme. they happen slowly all the time this is a process. we've had 12 months of timing from the federal reserve we've gone from zero we go north of five in early may. that's a very short amount of time with rates that much, tom, and i think we are only starting to see the consequences. it is not idiosyncratic for many people. something to keep an eye on. tom: i'm going to go something that peter didn't want to go on and that was gold at 2000. it's a tinge that's out there late last week with gold lifting above 2000. jonathan: should we finish on the equity market, just negative about a quarter of 1% on the snp. we talked about what is coming later this week, cbi on wednesday and then bank earnings as well.
8:05 am
just a couple of basis points. tom: and the financial conditions showing accommodation over the last couple of days. certainly moving away from the more restrictive town of the last 10 days. head of fixed income strategy chief investment office what did you rewrite this we can, matt? >> what did i rewrite this quest good -- this weekend? tom: with the bank of america view? >> nothing was rewritten, we don't think. we have been in the same place we have been. we have been calling for a tighter fit. the conditions will surprise you. you never know what it's going to break if something broke. the idea that you can get 500 plus points that fund type also
8:06 am
the quantitative tightening on top of that. you're going to get over session, you're not going to get a soft landing so we are still in that camp. tom: i think this is under discussed, folks. is it an equity bull market? talking about october being a stock market and up we go in the bond market you don't talk about price up yield down so much and yet i see the bloomberg aggregate total earned index up some 8% off the low and up a stunning 19%. are you enjoying a bond bull market? >> enjoying? hard to say we are enjoying things at the moment. the last time we talked to several months back people talked about high cash balances we were facing the other way
8:07 am
fully invested at the moment remember the conversation we had moving out on the curb you had your dollars allocated a little bit longer and that sort of played out here hard to say we are enjoying this it's certainly interesting bond markets have performed a lot better but the stock market is taking lower rates as a benefit. it's using that to discount earnings at a lower rate so equities are staying flat the crystal treating with interest rate with the stock market is not discounting lower earning yet it's still been a very strong and positive correlation between rates and stocks. while that might feel good near-term that stocks are doing ok and bonds are doing great
8:08 am
that's not a healthy long-term phenomenon it doesn't create a diverse like portfolio so it might feel good near-term when things are both moving up a longer-term it's still a little bit of a concern. jonathan: do you think the incoming information validate what we sing in the market? >> validates what we are seeing in the market? again anything is possible. if you look back to the last plus tightening cycles, we have never seen this much tightening without a procession. we had a couple of soft landings. that was 300 basis point tightening. when you include quantitative, that level of -- it would be historically unprecedented.
8:09 am
remember back in january the fed is going to talk about around 5% and end up cutting back at the end of the year. we are right back to the january levels of what the market had been saying the whole time, that you're not going to be able to get 5% which we sort of round trip here. it was a good place to get long durations so we crystal balanced , natural equities. jonathan: another has changed is not how much the fed will hike its how much they will cut the extent to which they can start a cycle and peer things back to maybe three. maybe two. no. can go site? what limitations do you think they can experience? >> i like what the program you said it's a process, this is a
8:10 am
process. a lot of people are trying to get ahead of the process. longer-term perspective, the market is fairly clear for over a year or two now that when the fed starts cutting it's probably beyond magnitude of about 2% rate cut. probably to the 3% over two years. that's probably a good odds on deck. it is still very much up for debate and the fed doesn't network the market doesn't now it's one the cutting actually it's going to start acting this year but we need to see the play out more in the inflation data. it's very possible it does delay a credit crunch is very's but that is not a foregone conclusion yet. the cuts are coming back at the end of the year versus it's going to be 2024 and again that
8:11 am
shift could markedly shift. we are still slightly cautious here and we are very much neutral at the moment but they will start cutting. it will happen probably in the next 6-9 months most likely the six-month range once they start cutting again it might a more neutral is probably around the 3% level. jonathan: three and not zero. >> what dollars jonathan: the potential for the fed to pull back and pull back to what? tom: to what is the whole thing hair. this goes to the idea of portfolio construction. we have a somewhat equity bull market. this is not normal. i think we all get that and you say what breaks. there's a real value to these
8:12 am
total return indexes. the investment-grade, the high-heeled, -- hi yield. and the answer is i think it's a bull market. jonathan: how many people -- we are taking comfort from the idea they might cut. we are not taking discomfort from the why behind 20 might cut and that's the important point here. at some point you start trading the why. tom: i heard in several reticence there. how many people participated from october? the influx it was just stunning and that's why. jonathan: futures on the snp, ignoring that. >> keeping you up-to-date with news from around the world with first word, i'm lisa mateo.

>> my concern is that we shifted from a credit risk concern to while my bank is only paying a certain percent i and get 3, 3 .5%. i think you see the drain on the banking system continue. this is a slow burn i think and it's going to be a big headwind for the economy. jonathan: wonderful to catch up earlier this morning. going into cpi on wednesday. bank earnings just around the corner. good morning to you equity features look a little something like this trending lower over the last 40 minutes or so. down one third of 1%. big defense of this morning down about two basis points 337 on a
8:18 am
two-year front end of the curve. last -- loss of interest. tom: a little tension as well. the vix 19.71. it would show maybe a little bit of nervousness off the jobs report and may be how we recalibrate but peter's wonderful visit with us which i really learned a lot, the geopolitics here can't be ignored. that is our theme here. jonathan: couldn't agree more the military drills around taiwan by china, what we heard from the french president has approach to china, let's of daylight in fact. tom: let me give you a balanced view here starting tomorrow in washington the usual victims lined up john, this is really the first meetings post-pandemic and the overlay here i'm not really sure where we will be
8:19 am
wednesday, or we will be wednesday. jonathan: never mind wednesday, thursday they are offering a five-year view. tom: there is a lot of talk of camera that was private but it's normal that they do a five-year what's not normal is a frame at on some 3% and i believe you have to go back already three years to get to that level of caution. that to me is the overview we got here. we will get you complete coverage in particular the banks on friday and we begin our banking coverage for this week. securities, i'm going to cut to the chase everybody follows jp morgan i know you are the only one that actually read dimon's letter but they are down 25 but a lot of the larger regionals and super regionals are down 45%, 50% from the peak. how do they recover?
8:20 am
they are not jp morgan. they are not bank of america how do these super regionals actually recover? >> good morning, tom. i think there's a couple of things going on. obviously the deposit movement we have seen. you look at the data from the fed that has slowed i think that's a one key piece. the other piece, what is the economy doing right now and are we heading into, you know, a slowdown or a recession? thanks don't usually perform all into that. banks are built for a recession. they risk manageable. we do think there is going to be opportunities for investors and a lot of these stocks will recover when we get to the other side of these economic uncertainties. it's really simple that you had a big selloff in the this uncertainty.
8:21 am
tom: in times long ago some people same the smaller tanks have fled the great zombie roll up. do you just assume that come point they're going to have to merge? they're going to have to combine? >> there will be mergers but if you listen to regulators and politicians they don't want to see all the smaller banks go away. they are after -- over 50% of commercial lending and just having banks and communities. tom: i've got to interrupt here because you are so knowledgeable on this. how many smaller banks are there , you know, roughly? >> 4000? you know, 5000. many thousands. tom: if there are 3000 am i going to miss the thousand that merge? >> again i think it's a function , you have to go community by community.
8:22 am
i do think a lot of these banks play an important part across america so if you need local lending, you know, some of these small banks are a key provider of that. they are important to the economy overall that's the main message here you need to have a message that works in need to have the deposits that are stable. on the other site, i think people understand that these banks play a part in economic growth. you do have to maintain some semblance of a banking system. there will be consolidation it's been happening i think there should be more i also think there should be very large banks . we were talking about things we never talked about before western alliance. we talked about that lots over the last month. all of a sudden names like
8:23 am
schwab started popping up and started trading really weak. what was the story about? >> very simplistically, they have a balance sheet or over 60% of the asset base was fixed to securities. his interest rates have higher and on the liability side with the customers do, and this was expected when rates move higher their brokerage customers remove the money out of the cash and they move it into a money market. the deposits in the brokerage account declined by about 30% over the last year. what happens is you lose a low-cost fund and you have to move in and for over 4% or a cd that is really expensive so that hurts net interest margin. that's been happening at a rapid pace. not unexpected but that's really been driving a lot of
8:24 am
uncertainty in terms of what the profile really is. jonathan: as you look across the banks that fall under your coverage, who are the earnings winners? going into reporting season? >> is going to be a tough earnings season overall. we like the banks that are more exposed to trading with resilience in the quarter goldman sachs over 40% of the revenue so i think we will have a better relative quarter then some of the others so that's kind of one thing. and then there are smaller companies when you look at two. steeple financial is a stock that would really like trading the single digits on a pd basis but they have grown earnings by 100% over the past five years. you really have to be selective here because financials are going to have a bumpy road when you have the volatility we have you don't get belt -- back to
8:25 am
normal quickly. there will be select opportunities. select with businesses that can take market share and that perform by trading. jonathan: wonderful to catch up with you. let's do this again in a week or so. some of the names that are caught up in this over the last few weeks. tom: what i wanted to flush out there, focusing on three banks. over towards times square it's like apple, apple, google, tesla, data and facebook or whatever is going to be called this week. devon as a truly an expert and it doesn't matter what it is it's a 23% haircut to jp morgan on the price to book. i don't understand how regulators apply a complete process to all the banks when they seem to be partitioned into
8:26 am
four or five or six big ones, maybe i'm wrong here the super regionals and then everybody else, the 4000 banks that he was talking about. jonathan: he mentioned altman so that's next. tuesday, and on friday you get jp morgan in the next hour, michael cushman, sector fifth, lori calvo sena --calvasina all coming up. ♪ rude. who are you? i'm an investor in a fund that helps advance innovative sports tech like this smart fitness mirror. i'm also mr. leg day...1989! anyone can become an agent of innovation with invesco qqq, a fund that gives you access to nasdaq-100 innovations. i go through a lot of pants. before investing carefully read and consider fund investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses

8:32 am
china and india growth? >> we will discover the industrialized economies are suffering to a great degree. even though there is an opening up of china there will be some rebound, number one economic activity. the greater grip the chinese communist party has over the economy will limit the ability to surprise to the upside nba continuous headwind for the global -- economic environment. tom: is the central banker to the world more restrictive than we think? the may 3 press conference, because jerome powell face a forward restriction not priced in the markets? steven: that's the big question. i think what you are really getting at here is what is the right at four monetary policy at this juncture? the market seems to believe they will continue to raise rates one more time and
8:33 am
that will break something and wind up with something even bigger than what we have already broken, creating an environment where they will be forced to cut interest rates later this year and a prudent path for monetary policy and the debate out of these fomc minutes will lay the groundwork for the likeliness of a pause where they hold open the door for additional rate hikes down the road. tom: this is right where we want to go, it came up a few days ago. are we asymmetric in our view given the action and tangible action by a central bank? i would say the reigning school of thought is echoed by matt lisanti. your next base symmetrically has to be a cut if you pause. you don't agree? steven: i don't agree at all. you have to let the dust settle. the details from the labor market report from last friday
8:34 am
with inflation numbers this week in the retail sales numbers at the end of the week are going to unfold, telling you that there is more resilience than you thought in the economy. it will be a second-half recession but not all recessions are related. some are very shallow, some are deep. i think most people in this market right now only remember deep recessions. they don't really remember shallow recessions. even in 2020 it was very, very shallow. there was a bit of a systemic credit crunch and that. more so than this apartment with video syncretic risk. that's the key difference. tom: i've been lectured by stabilizers. into recession, stabilizer, one of them is fiscal space. do we have the space to commit physical oomph in a slowdown? steven: the question is where are we going in a recession?
8:35 am
if we get back to four points in -- 4.5 percent jobless claims, that's a balanced labor market environment. how much extra do we need in the environment? 5.5%, 6%, then we could need something but i don't see that coming through. the labor market is tight enough. all the people that enter the labor force, the bulk of them got jobs. that's why the unemployment rate drifted lower, not upwards. tom: this goes back to what i mentioned at the top of the show. the fact is that with revisions that will change again we have generated one million jobs in 90 days. that's like economy to perfection. yet we are talking about negative payroll out there somewhere. talking about wages out there somewhere. maybe some inflation in them. and right now it sort of kind of but no maybe.
8:36 am
what's the timeline here for the kind of labor data that forces the central bank to adjust? to me it's completely ambiguous right now. tom: it is and i think it is -- steven: it isn't i think it's later rather than sooner. if you want a good real-time sense of what's happening, follow the unemployment claims. a lot of people tried to make a lot of hay out of the numbers from last week with the reality is you have to get into that 350 timeframe before you see a deterioration in claims and we are nowhere near that. tom: bringing this up now on the terminal, and if i could type correctly that would help, i and jc for. there it is. the four-week moving average of the claims on statistics with 237 right now. i didn't realize it was a high.
8:37 am
when was the last time we were at three something? the answer is it was a long time ago. steven: we clearly saw that during the covid recession but beyond that there was a 128 month expansion. getting into those kinds of claims numbers outside the covid recession, you are going back 12, 15 years. steven: -- tom: my textbooks say you don't go back to a 14 year labor economy unless you have a huge 7374 recession. steven: those claims are just getting you to that type of unemployment statistics. to get to the 5.5% number yeah, you will need something more than what they talked about in terms of growth numbers for this year and last year. i think that the market is discounting that but the reality is that what we are seeing is
8:38 am
that's not coming to fruition. even the retail sales numbers, people have week headline numbers. unit automobile sales held nicely with pricing holding up. it's hard to see that we will get that 0.5% decline for the people in retail sales. tom: i was just looking it up, 300,000 pro pandemic, september 2014. that is how far we are from caution. i noticed used cars were resilient as well. what's the micro data that you need to inform the audience of right now, the acclaimed data coming away from used cars? steven: we are the driving factor. the fact that used car prices are holding up well is one of the great indicators that show
8:39 am
you the households still have the income to drive the economy, one of the reasons why i think the market is too presumptuous to the degree of economic slack that they are discounting. jonathan: -- tom: others at renaissance would say that with rising income and even tepid disinflation, suddenly real income, inflation-adjusted income isn't gloomy. it maintains some form of constructive tone. is that the model? steven: without a doubt. looking at the household valance sheet income, we are still of the belief that there is a substantial amount of firepower left in the consumer and that the additional firepower will keep the economy more resilient, an argument for the reserve to keep rates higher for longer
8:40 am
rather than picketing as anticipated. tom: well than what is your gdp number four, then? 12 months at the world bank, bear stearns, just to cite one. steven: the hours laid out by the reserve is that we will be in the shallow singles this year , probably in the decimal point fourth quarters with one .1% in 2024. it's a weakness in the near term compared to the official institutions but we don't have much of a rebound in 2024 in that i think is a difference. tom: well then let me finish with what i heard from the managing director last week. you and i know how difficult it is to look out at this for five
8:41 am
months. the five-year deal from 1990, 3% sustained five-year gdp, real gdp. does that get it done for the world? steven: against the demographics? probably yes. a lot of the reason you have this right outlook is the demographic situation. the aging of the global population in the industrialized world. the aging of the population in china in particular, we are again men retire at 55 and women retire at 50. you have a rapidly aging population and as populations age you tend to see them oh -- reduce the overall growth. jonathan: stephen -- tom: stephen, very informative, greatly appreciated. part of this is to look at the demographic. i really wanted to look it up

[laughter] >> walls and rowing competitions. >> are they far apart from each other? >> they back onto each

other. >> we should get you both on. next kudos to him for doing that job. tom: he was very emotional about it, actually. i mentioned it to him and he said that what was so urgent and he didn't expect this were the superbright kids from these really difficult backgrounds that have to make this huge jump to the highfalutin culture of cambridge. adam: can be difficult. tom: intimidating. right now we are intimidating ourselves, with great respect adam posen, who i thought had a great essay on globalization. in the financial times where he writes often on the state of where we are in this new higher inflation. at the beginning of your essay, you spoke about trying to have a pain-free crisis. i spoke to a leading government official in 2008 about this,
8:49 am
where we tried to let the zombies out without having moral hazard. trying to be pain-free in the crises. how do we get out of that difficult price -- crisis? adam: what i'm kind of focused on there is this question of the double whammy of this sudden unexpected surgeon inflation and the increase in interest rates, what it does to the balance of the biggest market that really matters, the fixed income market. there is a huge shift underway. part of it is simply a loss to the accounts of the fixed income investors but part of it is a transfer where if we have an unanticipated shot to the price level it shifts the balance between the creditors and debtors. we have seen a swing in the debt to gdp ratio that we haven't seen before. 20% shift over 18 months to two
8:50 am
years. tom: you and your wonderful essay parsing the haves and have-nots. cynics would say that with huge surge in interest rate everyone else is crushed. is it that? adam: not in the data so far. the people on the line in the fixed income market have the top end. the entire struggle if you like between taxpayers on one end and bondholders on the other plays out in the top 20% to 30% of distribution. the question i ask at the end that we all have to focus on is what happens to the folk who basically live paycheck-to-paycheck. it's a flow economy, not a stock economy. what we have seen across the world is falling real wages and we need to focus on that long-term effect of this sudden unanticipated inflation.
8:51 am
