6:00 am
>> i really feel the markets are kind of getting divorced from the fed. >> the issue is defensive policy. >> i think the fed will have to continue to raise rates. the market is not pricing that in. >> there are few historical examples of the fed hiking and pausing and resuming. >> i think the fed has to sleep with one eye open well into the future. >> this is bloomberg surveillance. tom: good morning, it's tuesday on radio and on television, jonathan ferro is on assignment
6:01 am
somewhere warmer and better and prettier and cooler. lisa: how did he get that assignment? tom: anyway, he's on a wonderful assignment. it's an interesting day to say the least. ben ladler will start us off on the equity market. with futures negative, little bit of the pullback, the single best i heard in literature this week -- this weekend, everybody was publishing with stuart kaiser at citigroup yet here we are. that is the feeling of the bulls and the bears. lisa: even though it seems perhaps the phone mode trade feels -- the fomo trade feels frothy, he doesn't see any obstacle for it to be going even higher. are we there yet?
6:02 am
where bears have fully capitulated? that's the key question, have we gotten a bit over the skis with the trade war doesn't have legs that can keep going regardless of what the fed does? tom: it could be something else and that will be our theme this morning. across the data, it's sort of a turning market. we saw the secretary of state in china and that was drama over a long weekend and it seems to be constructive to get to more talks. lisa: although a lot of questions around the substance especially as lawmakers go to detroit to much in ford and gm around supply chains and the idea of not decoupling but making supply chains more resilient. how do you parse that out at a time of incredible competition between the two nations? tom: petrodollars are buying into english football among other things.
6:03 am
the financial tunnel names reporting. abu dhabi is looking at lazard and they walked away from the deal but you wonder if that is the future here of global wall street. lisa: there was a story about this pressure on banks which is basically revenues are going down. there are not the same kind of deals there were pre-pandemic as they were last year. at this point, how do you move forward at a time of such competitive pressure, competition and some of these smaller boutique investment firms looking for perhaps job cuts but also some sort of perhaps cash infusion. tom: it's important the calendar of discussion. i think we are into june, october discussions. it's underscored by the interest of abu dhabi and the adq wealth
6:04 am
fund. that will be what we look for in july. we will do a brief around 400 fed speakers between now and friday. lisa: there are a lot and perhaps listen to what they had to say. u.s. building permits and starts for may are coming up and the philly fed, nonmanufacturing activity and fedex earnings after the bell which will always be interesting.the housing building permits gives you a sense of how much recovery and demand is picking up in this sector. fed speak today includes st. louis fed president jim bullard in barcelona. 1140 5 a.m., the vice chair michael barr and new york fed president john williams is speaking at the governance and culture reform conference of the federal reserve. i'm curious to see what they have to say about banks. tom: sometimes they talk about
6:05 am
banking but things away from monetary policy but i would like to hear john williams of the new york fed reaffirm his belief in a low. the zeitgeist am getting is maybe the lower our start is the higher. lisa: maybe the end rates we will end up with ends up being significantly higher than they have been in the past. it's a key existential question in the market. the german chancellor ola schulz is hosting a chinese official went for u.s. lawmakers go to detroit to talk with ford and general motors ceos about perhaps moving supply chains away from china particularly as it has to do with electric vehicles. how does this tension evolve when you have this -- these diplomats coming out and trying to make peace but the political rhetoric is such you are moving toward a more hawkish kind of feel regardless of what the diplomats say.
6:06 am
tom: the cfo of ford visited with us a few days ago and he said basically, we cannot make enough of the fancy cars. thanks to liz ann saunders for sending in a picture of her antique bronco. she likes the big tires and all that. i'm very jealous to say the least. dow futures are negative and the vix is 14.54 after the state of this bull market. the yield space is really important. going to the 30 year bond, 3.88% , up three basis points and elevation in the 10 year. west texas is $72 so a little bit on oil and the currency
6:07 am
market, i cannot make sense of. euro-dollar is $1.09. for the four day work week, we start strong with been lalder - ben ladler. you say its foundations within the bull market so what makes your stocks higher? >> it's fundamentally driven. u.s. economy will grow 2% this quarter come recession risks will be pushed back and earnings forecasts have doubled in the last three months, absolutely opposite of what the bears looker -- are looking for. 11 straight months of falling in laois and, breakevens are a 2.3% which is exactly were the fed wants them. consumer inflation expectations, the labor numbers friday came out from the university of
6:08 am
michigan survey are good. i think this is opening up. this is giving companies, relieving the pressure on the profit margins,dpi is running four points belowcpi is giving consumers purchasing power back. this is the scenario. we also have this capitulation which has given us this leg up in markets. lisa: have the bears fully capitulated? this has been turbocharged by the short squeeze perhaps. is it over? >> no, i think this is the sweet spot. the long-term investor sentiment is now neutral for the first time in a year-and-a-half area it's a long way off positive. there is some capitulation and you really only seen it happen in the last couple of weeks with
6:09 am
the retail investor sentiment. it's been very recent. this is the sweet spot of people capitulating higher. we are worried it's over baked in overdone but this is not it. lisa: will this rally continue to be fundamentally driven if the fed comes through with two more rate hikes as they promised later this year? >> the markets are fighting the fed. they been doing that all year so is just a symptom of the data dependence. i think the incentives are different. i think the market is more aware of the upside risks and happy to maybe look through maybe one or two more hikes. i think the fed will hang on to the last moment. they don't want the market to loosen financial conditions prematurely and that's where you're getting this conflict.
6:10 am
i think markets are forward-looking and that they know they are closer to the end of this than the beginning and they are looking for the next chapter which is we get this relief from interest rates. we have affirming of growth expectations. tom: push against the bears out there. i know you will not take a shot at mike wilson of morgan stanley. he says we get a more rapid disinflation that brings nominal gdp down and revenue growth down. it's not so much push against that but what is your decades of experience about if you have a disinflationary tendency at the top line of income, do you actually get it diminishment of revenue growth? >> i think that will happen. i probably disagree with the magnitude but there are huge offsets. one is profit margins, you may
6:11 am
get less revenue growth but i think you're getting margin relief today with numbers out of germany this morning, producer prices in germany went from 46% to 1%. you are seeing a mini version of that in the u.s. and that's massively for rapid margins everywhere in the world. that will indicate less revenue growth. the second is it will bring lower inflation and lower for an lower interest rates. i think that gives some further headroom for valuations rise, maybe slightly lester big talk but -- big tech but certain sectors of the market which may be cyclicals in the u.s. or europe and japan with frankly have been the leaders this year. tom: i look at the idea of rotation. i guess there is beginning to be
6:12 am
a broadening in rotation in the market. with the post-pandemic and supply and demand dynamics of the bigger picture, do we not get traditional rotation in the laidler bull market? >> steady as it goes. i'm happy to stay with the defense of growth names primarily big tech and things like health care. we are not out of the woods yet. we still got to get the fed off cause and cutting interest rates. it we might be six months away from that. that made be the real trigger for the next bull market. i think big tech and the defense of growth stock still have further legs but i wouldn't go too far into the rotation because most of the slowdown is still to come. i don't think it's a recession and i think it will be mild and it is ahead of us and not behind us. tom: thank you so much.
6:13 am
a cautious tone to the second leg of the bull market. which shifted here is, is it a bull market or a bear market in its shifted but now what? where is the second leg? that's what we are seeing from the equity bulls out there. lisa: you mentioned mike wilson and he said we've been so wrong when it comes to earnings. that's in terms of the market responsibly redid their numbers and scrutinized this and came to the conclusion that they are still bearish. tom: bring up the full on mike wilson.
6:14 am
lisa: many people will shrug that often say he missed it but there is a question. we just had the longest weekly winning streak for the nasdaq going back to march, 2019. we are looking at questions people have priced in and less returns for the ai promise. tom: i could not read the screen. at the camera was so far away. bramo with the save on the important mike wilson quote. that's a good way to start here. a four day work week, that's a joy. 47 fed's figures today, stay with us, sebastian gage at seven. ♪
6:15 am
you know doug, ever since switching to workday you've been a real rock star. rock star? what do you know about rock stars? billy idol? i mean where's the skin-tight leather? my shoes are leather. where's the unnecessary zippers? that thing! billy, rock star is just how doug feels when he uses workday. thanks, rory. i'll show you rock star! be a finance and hr rock star. workday. for a changing world. billy idol just stole your golf cart!
6:17 am
better engagement going forward. that's certainly not going to solve every problem between us, far from it. but it is critical to do what we both agree is necessary and that is responsibly managing the relationship. it's in the interest of the united states to do that in the interest of china to do that and it's in the interest of the world. tom: secretary of state of the united states jumpstarting things in china. i went to shanghai once. we decided to live large we stayed at the peace hotel and i had the immense honor of staying in a room with five or six national rooms there. i was in some british fake tudor room and that's the room henry kissinger was in in 1970 or whatever with nixon. i don't think this was the same but it was pretty cool. lisa: this is drenched in history although he was not
6:18 am
greeted by much of anyone. there wasn't much of a reception for him at the airport except for a couple of red carpets which was a metaphor. was there anything achievable coming out of these talks except for it not escalating. tom: the text -- the secretary of state getting off the plane in beijing, kind of like terry this morning. the basic idea of the shock of the secretary of state of the united states or any country being greeted in the country like he's coming out of reagan, you get to gate from gate 10 to gate three quickly. what was accomplished? >> everyone knows the infamous gate 35x at reagan national airport.
6:19 am
it was the ability both countries to say they are continuing to communicate, that is calculated by both sides is having the effect of diminishing tensions somewhat. i argued before the meeting and would still argue that that's largely illusory. my take is that china sees the united states business community as its friend, geopolitically and will continue to try to push that relationship. china also is pushing the united states to what they call recalibrated -- recalibrating its relationship and asia, to back off and agree that asia should be a chinese leg entirely which is an absurd proposition to the many kind -- countries who are our allies there. thirdly, there is no military to
6:20 am
medication and forth, there is no mention of ukraine or iran. we've got can occasion but we don't have a lot of communication and we certainly don't have anything to show on either side. lisa: this is the political tension now. perhaps it was a win for president biden in terms of not escalating tensions further and creating some sort of open lines of communications. was it a win when it comes to the politics domestically of a nation very much growing hawkish on china and some are calling for some sort of decoupling which this resident has pushback against? >> i agree that normalization of communications is a win for president biden regardless. i think that's very true. at the same time, we don't get much more than that. not much has been gotten. secondly, my contention would be that the united states policy
6:21 am
toward china started to flip in 2016-2017 before trump was president and it is among the most bipartisan, probably the most bipartisan policy we have gotten washington. that will not change either. the vast majority of washington wants communication with china, the vast majority washington also does not want a situation where we are either getting rid of our own geopolitical interests or putting our allies in more peril as a result. he's not doing that right now. lisa: what are the lines from the press conference -- one of the lines stuck out from antony blinken press conference. he says we remains were -- committed to her one china policy. we do not support taiwan's independence. we made it clear we oppose any
6:22 am
unilateral changes in the status quo by either side is that controversial and how is it being spun the day after? >> it shouldn't be controversial. with secretary blinken is doing there is underscoring that the united states policies 1979 in the taiwan relations act remains the policy of the united states government and there has been a lot of concern, a lot of understanding and misunderstanding around that over the past few years that frankly have been aided and abetted by both president trump and president biden in past statements. what blinken is trying to do is put a floor under that by saying our policy is as it was and it continues to be, make no mistake about that. clarity is good. tom: let's link air corporate relationships with china. catherine man is at the bank of
6:23 am
england is one of the great internationally economist. she makes it clear that we have a codependency with china. we need them economically and they need us. she owns the high ground on the transpacific codependency. what is the relationship in these discussions when they observed tim cook living that codependency at apple and bipartisan presidents saying no, we don't want to do that. how does that work? >> the vast majority washington understands the codependency. they frankly don't want to upset it. i find the war of rhetoric here whether it's decoupling or de-risking or anything else to be a little overblown on the street. nobody is talking about removing american business from china.
6:24 am
what china is trying to do simultaneously is try to attract and continue to have american business and investment while making the terms under which non-china investment will exist to be more onerous than it already has been. i don't see the united states is trying to take that away. tom: thank you so much. it's an historic trip of the secretary of state. i look at the place i live in at the bottom are the boxes from everybody and you look at the outside of the boxes. which ones don't save made in china? very few. lisa: we had a nerf gun at home that was also made in china. antony blinken highlighted that
6:25 am
de-risking is really the only logical way to go and decoupling is not possible or plausible given that trade in the past year has been higher than ever before between these two nations. it is not diminishing. that's the reason why i'm curious about the business tensions. they need to stay in china and the political tensions are pushing back. tom: you don't mention military tensions as well. my highlight of the bloomberg convention, my high point was a piercing conversation with a retired admiral mike rogers about the transpacific realities. we have a build out of pacific rim capabilities. lisa: how much is that underpinning the discussion because some of the allies of the u.s. have been you have this kind of tension, mistakes happen and when you don't have military leaders talking with one another and trying to offset some sort of accident, that's when
6:26 am
mistakes can happen that could potentially be catastrophic. tom: i'm looking it dollar weaker. it's a resilient dollar but off the recent peaks and the yen doesn't go through a $1.42. japan is under discussed and very important now. lisa: i'm watching the fact that yields are creeping to the highs. it's an ongoing grind higher into me, that's the collision course with respect to the dynamism in the trade. tom: fed speakers today, coming up, perfect timing, claudia sahm.
6:27 am
6:30 am
tom: bloomberg surveillance on a tuesday with a four day work week in much of america and we welcome all of you area lisa and i are dealing with a data check that is sort of boring and sort of churning as well. it's sort of their and like lisa said, yields is probably the place to go but what is credit doing? do you have corporate high-yield spreads? lisa: there has been a steady grind lower and people are reassessing whether it's gone too far. i'm looking at high-yield bond spreads and they are narrowest
6:31 am
going back to right before some of the banking concerns started up again. there is something interesting in the data which is there is a pronounced direction lower in stocks for the first time in a while in this comes after eight straight weekly games and the nasdaq. is this a pause? if it's a pause, is there a reassessment going on? how much legs does the bull market have if it's a single development in a cohort of stocks and not necessarily more uniform? tom: i will not show this to you on tv but to lisa's important question on the standard & poor's 500 on a percentage change from where we are now, the center tendency is a 4% pullback and we are nowhere near that right now. there has been a moonshot since last week.
6:32 am
it went from 4100 up to 4500. it's a joy to speak to claudia sahm. she is a former federal reserve economist. when you are that young and you come out of michigan and you are codified with the rule in the economics game, where does the sahm rule come from? is that a paper you did? how did that get invented? >> the reason it exists is it was part of a policy proposal i had to automatically send out stimulus checks during a recession and to calibrate much you send of how often. it really was a sidebar to the policy proposals considered relatively useful to people watching recessions. that was never the point of it.
6:33 am
tom:the sahm rule is now front and center. how many states are in recession based on the claudia sahm rule? >> there are different ways you can calculate at the state level but 10 or less states are in a place where their unemployment rate at the state level has risen more than a half a percentage point. at the national level, we are not calibrated the state level i think it's a good exercise to look under the hood and see how various states are doing in terms of their unemployment and a big one within that group that has a higher increase in unemployment is california. lisa: if you look at these pockets of pain and you check the overall aggregate, doesn't make the overall aggregate look worse or better because some of the increase we have seen in unemployment has been driven by
6:34 am
a few pockets of pain? >> that's the thing to look at in a state like california. there has been specific areas of distress when you think about the tech sector which is important to california's economy. where we see these pockets of stress, do they spread? to they resolve themselves locally? right now, we cannot know that yet. that something to be watching, the spread that could eventually push the whole economy into recession. lisa: we can't necessarily get a recession forget unemployment creeping higher if you have consumer spending where it is. you say it's not a mystery so what is this telling you in terms of how long it can continue? >> it's careful to understand who is measured and how they are put together. something like gdp or personal consumption expenditures we look at, that's reflecting mainly a lot of high income individuals
6:35 am
were spending. you look at something like the on employment rate and everybody counts equally. cats where gdp -- there is this tension between consumer spending but that's in assessing where the data tells more about someone like elon musk than they do a walmart cashier. we have to be careful how the data is constructed. that's why the employment rate which is a more egalitarian measure what's going on, that's a good way to look and that looks strong as well. tom: i'm glad you brought up california. california is enormous. it's the united states, china, japan and the fourth economy would be california taken by itself. i think the financial media and frankly much of economics gets a totally wrong.
6:36 am
there are these dominant states that are florida and california new york and texas clearly. for those states not in recession while others struggle? is there something to size in america that gives us a better stability? >> it's really a mixed bag. we are trying to figure out -- is the weakness contained or has it started spreading? california is the biggest one where the on employment rates have risen. tom: i look at the fed meeting and the shock and all that we had two major economists say why didn't they just raise rates? were you surprised that after the verbiage, they didn't raise rates? >> i was but i will give them credit -- this is the most hawkish pause i could've imagined. they went out and said we will
6:37 am
have two more rate increases likely. that likely means people are putting 50% or greater odds on needing to raise rates. it's not necessarily a done deal. i'm sure there was a robust debate of this meeting about what the policy change should be. wow, the economic projections really nailed it home. that should have been a clear signal. forget about the chance of cutting this year. lisa: what you hear is perhaps people are not pricing in rate cuts. people are fighting the fed and they continue to disbelieve they will raise rates once or twice especially not twice more this year and they are probably done for the cycle. some say is the biggest risk to the melt up they see continuing. what is your probability of the fed going once or twice more based on what you were just saying, that unemployment is probably the best gauge of how strong the economy is and it's
6:38 am
still pretty good? >> that's all the more reason in the fed's eyes to raise rates. inflation has proven sticky. we could raise again in july they said. they have a month of data between now and the july meeting. what will they really learned that they didn't know already? i take them at their word for at least the first increase. this is got to be hanging on a nice edge. otherwise, just raise rates, what are they waiting for? i still think they will keep on holding the rate hike and inflation is just too high for them to be that comfortable to cut. lisa: people are curious to hear what jay pyle has to say in his heading to capitol hill tomorrow and will testify for the first time since the banking crisis arose. how much do you expect him to double down and say you guys are getting it wrong?
6:39 am
we will raise rates further and don't expect us to do nothing. >> reading the monetary policy report goes when he testifies, it has that flavor. there are boxes on how we think about what's happened in the banking sector and they are still isolated and some say it doesn't have anything to do with interest rate policy. you can see in that report emphasizing the same point. doubling down on what he has said and i don't think -- he will not want to go far from the script. they didn't want this to be hawkish. tom: what's our history of guessing or gaining or judging the trend and the second derivative of disinflation? do we get that right ever? >> rarely, if you go with the historical record within a
6:40 am
reasonable amount of time, facing this disinflationary cycle of how to do enough and to do enough -- this is not the paul volcker fed that said we want this and we want it now. there isn't much to compare it to. the fed's forecast especially in the out years is pretty optimistic. yet, they could pull this off. there are still signs of it but i think they will be very cautious in stepping back even as inflation starts to fall. tom: it's really important here and i guess it comes down to the disinflation trend in housing. we get housing data today. this was a wonderful article over the weekend. pantheon was blistering that the housing confidence and housing certitude is raw. they said housing in america, the hope of it is divorced from reality.
6:41 am
have we become too complacent about the ramifications of real estate at these high interest rates, waiting and hoping for disinflation? >> housing is one of the primary sectors that should be working through to get to the real economy. that's one of the most interest rate sensitive sectors. we have seen initially a lot of optimism pulled out and maybe pulling back into the market. the fed cannot move the economy on a dime. there is a lot going on but that's a primary transmission mechanism into the rest of the economy. tom: thank you so much and congratulations on the amount of work we see on thesahm rule out there in the third quarter. almost a third quarter. claudiasahm, i look at the 30 year mortgage and the bottom
6:42 am
line is it's this blather about the stock market and all that but it's really about rent, housing and what you do with your kids, etc. and the answer is the housing market is nuts. that's my scientific survey. lisa: this is a region by region type of market. i keep going back to the fact that no one is paying 7%. they are staying put at 5%. this is the tension underpinning a market that has been resilient and is now turning in the other direction. you look at homebuilder stocks and pricing. tom: the 30 year mortgage is 7.2%. critically, the long-term moving average is demonstrably higher. then late march and early april
6:43 am
and the median average is almost up to a peak level. it's a sustained 7.2% mortgage rate. i see the complete polarity between the places i look and you look which are different. there is nothing for sale where i look. nothing. it's shocking. lisa: every day jonathan says you got some mortgage rate that 3.20 5% mortgage rate, you won the lottery. that's the crux of the situation. tom: in england, they are now talking about a 6%, to your mortgage rate. we are at 5.3%. lisa: housing is not the office space issue.
6:44 am
there was a study done by columbia and in the professors that shows the implied losses for u.s. office buildings were about $500 billion in the digestion these office spaces were about 30% lower than they were before the pandemic. when do we see that come out? tom: a major shout out to cranes. i read every single article about every single piece of real estate. in the workout of it. it will be part of our theme on the back end of this year. futures are -17 and yields are up one point. good morning. ♪ he snores like an angry rhino. you've never heard an angry rhino. baby i hear one every night... every night.
6:45 am
6:46 am
6:47 am
manufacturing capacity in china but that foreign direct investment from companies has slowed dramatically and that has not covered up the real thing. tom: a very important book about 10 years ago on the future of the euro. he nailed that at the time. futures are negative. the dollar stable with 7209. housing data is coming out today and may jumpstart things and fed speak as we rationalize what we observed last week. real focus on bitcoin. katie greifeld has been helpful in giving us clarity on that. it's stable at 27,000. this is a joy, the global head of currency at brown brothers harriman. he is very good on the pacific
6:48 am
rim all the way up to japan but with a more global basis as well. when you approach currencies, what is the first pair that gives you information right now? >> thanks for having me. it's always a pleasure to see you each and every time i think dollar euro is the main thing but to me, dollar yen as recently been the real barometer. that's when you see the monetary policy. bank of japan has remained in the dove camp more than anyone expected. the fed continues to tighten and remain hawkish so that pair reflects monetary policy divergence. in a sense, the question is out and whether the ecb is defensive.
6:49 am
it's stark, the difference between the boj and the fed that it tells me the dollar will get stronger. tom: we will talk about the basic thing everybody in radio and tv wants. why should we care about the yen? why should we care about flawed theory out of the bank of japan? >> the bank of japan i think holds a special interest because they have been holding rates artificially low for decades. the fear in the markets is that once they have it and go back to positive rates and yield curve control it will have global implications. it will send shockwaves across the world. i am not as doomsday as that but
6:50 am
i have to acknowledge that it will be in her chattering moment. the markets will survive the markets will pick up the pieces and come back. it will be a seachange in one of the largest central banks in the world. it's been affecting the capital flows. japanese are some of the biggest savers in the world. they are chasing higher yields and that will be a big reversal when rates start rising in japan tom: if and when they blank, they restructure and i will leave it up to you but let's model $1.40 dollar yen and we get a much stronger yen and down to $1.15, what we used to perceive as normal. we get a strong yen so what's the ramification to china flat on its global gdp back? >> china has almost become its own animal. i think the strong yen will
6:51 am
impact the regional exporters. we see china and korea and taiwan at multiyear or multi-decade lows in terms of the yen. if and when that changes, we have capital flows but we also have the trade flow story. japan imports are likely to become less competitive and china may become more of a factor. china turned increasingly inward under president xi's third term and it's hard to figure out how they get the global story right. it's really turning inward and its domestic consumption and you can see that in the regional trade numbers. exports are diving into double digits. i think the world has to
6:52 am
rejigger and try to figure out how to move forward in a different chinese model. lisa: you look at dollar yen to get a signal for the dollar and the signal now is the dollar will get stronger. how much of a pain traders that check of >> dollar yen has been the biggest pain trade and folks are calling for $1.25. that's predicated on the notion the bank of japan was moving a combination. the present japan a -- japanese governor is more hawkish than the last one. it seems to be later rather than sooner that the data in japan is turning and we are seeing weakness in the hard data i think they are shy about pulling
6:53 am
the trigger on a regime change. lisa: does this signify a broader dollar rally that is not exactly what people are position for at a time when they got into -- going into the euro on the promise of more rate hikes from the ecb and the stronger economy on the heels of whatever stringent -- stimulus they are doubling down on? will that be the theme of the second half of this year, reversal of perhaps dollar weakness in the first half going back to dollar strength? >> that's a great point. the consensus trait is that the dollar will weaken in the fed will start hiking and cut rates this year. that's a bit of a pain trade. when all the dust settles, i think the fed will go higher for longer. they have one high-priced in but i sense a lot of analysts say
6:54 am
they won't hike again but just pause but i wholeheartedly disagree. you guys were talking about how resilient the housing market is. the u.s. market remains strong and i think the fed has to go much higher and much longer than expected tying it all together tells me there will be a stronger dollar, stronger than what the market is expecting. the ecb hike last week. the swiss national bank, they expect hiking rates and that's negative for growth. the dollar still stands head and shoulders above everyone else. this is maybe outside your purview but you say the dollar stands head and shoulders above all else. i got completely wrong that
6:55 am
equity return in korea. how can you have international stocks do well with a resilient dollar? >> i'm with you. global growth is slowing. there is no question the ecb and imf and world bank are projecting much lower growth. the equity market saw that the market is forward-looking. i share your puzzlement. it's hard to see how the markets will react. tom: you buy the imf gloom? do you by the three-year global slowdown? >> i think we can talk about help right and wrong the imf has been. in this time, they are right to err on the side of caution.
6:56 am
eventually, it will go into recession. when is anyone's guess but that's a piece of the slower growth. china is growing slowly you already have two quarters of contraction the euro zone. it's hard not to be gloomy. it's not a pandemic but it's a run-of-the-mill recession. beyond that, we will get through this. tom: thank you for the focus on foreign exchange. that was on the edge of cautious. lisa: a lot of people are cautious but everything is ai. tom: the market traders today in the spx is down zero point 4%. stay with us on bloomberg radio and television.

when you show generosity of spirit to someone. and you want people to be saved and to have a better life, then you don't stop. the idea that we have saved five million people's lives, it's overwhelming. it's everything. >> really field the markets are getting divorced from the fed. >> the issue is the lack effective policy. >> i think the fed will have to continue to raise rates or stay higher for longer in the markets are not rising it in. >> there are few historical examples of the fed pausing and hiking and resuming again. >> i think the fed has to sleep with one eye open well into the future. >> this is bloomberg surveillance with tom keene, jonathan ferro lisa abramowicz. tom: good morning, bloomberg
7:01 am
surveillance. thank you for being with us amid a four-day workweek. jonathan ferro is on assignment. is he in the northern or southern hemisphere? lisa: i have to check. tom: he takes people with them just to be sure he gets all that. when an interesting tuesday in the conversation so far has been interesting win thin was interesting on dollar resiliency and he doesn't by the weak dollar. lisa: this would be one of the various pain trays that could emerge in the second half especially with the euro given that it has started to break out. tom: ben laidler got us going but coming up, sebastian page with the definitive book on what you do with allocation and what
7:02 am
do you do with your money. we will do that in a moment. i look at the turn of the news of a clumsy three day weekend and basically, when lisa does her brief, the fed speak begins. lisa: it's important ahead of the all-important meeting of jay powell on capitol hill tomorrow and thursday. the reason why people are bullish now is because they don't believe the fed will raise rates twice more if at all. this is one of the underpinnings of the time when people expect inflation to go lower and for there to be some sort of immaculate disinflation. if the fed goes twice more, can the ai rally continue? many people are saying it's
7:03 am
tough to see that. tom: june 14 out to july 26 captures the six week cadence. i guess the july meeting is important but the next meetings are july 26 to september 20 which seems like forever. lisa: this is a story the caught my eye. dannon yogurt were talking about of they are an ai company because they are using artificial intelligence to study the gut bacteria to craft something that's better yogurt. is everything an ai company? can you basically say we use computer programming to try to understand our inner guts? at what point have we gotten past the peak? tom: i have to admit i'm very happy you brought this up. you know what camp i'm in, it's ridiculous. there will be winners and people
7:04 am
that will move forward. nvidia is a winner but i don't own it. basic idea is that in every vogue, there is that validity. at the same time, john lawler from ford motor said they are in ai company. i get it but i think we've reached the silly season. lisa: to give you a sense of what got the most in terms of traits, investors poured more money into tessa last week than any other stock. -- into tesla last week than any other stock. tom: i don't think they are doing ai trades now but i'm looking at spotify. if you have offspring, they have spotify. i think this is been usually anticipated within the music
7:05 am
business, spotify competing with apple music says they will have a premium tier that will have some form of hi-fi audio. they've been way behind on this and we forget there is something that society uses each and every day with a return back five years. it's 2.4% per year which has not worked out. lisa: you will expect more of this but that's not enough to drive everything higher but stocks are a bit lower as we head into a breather potentially. tom: don't start with the fed speaker. lisa: 8:30 a.m., u.s. building permits and housing starts for the day. and manufacturing activity fedex will be after the bell in terms of earnings may be a bellwether. tom: i strongly agree with this. we have fedex after the bell.
7:06 am
it's as big as apple earnings. that's all you have to know. lisa: the st. louis fed president will speak today and at 11:45 a.m., vice chair michael barr and new york fed president john williams. later in the day, we have the german chancellor olaf scholz speaking with the chinese premier in berlin. definitely differing messages versus some of the rank and file. tom: shanghai banking corporation will cut their gdp work more often -- optimistic 6.3%. sometimes i miss it often, there can be a book of the summer or the year and for whatever reason
7:07 am
, i blow it. i blew it with sebastian page is phenomenal beyond diversification. i give him the hirers regard on this. this is the most adult wall street books since richard bernstein's classic volume on value growth. i cannot say enough about it. every time i look at it come i'm blown away by the acuity. joining us now is the author, sebastian page. i will get right to it and talk about quack remedies. how does that affect asset allocations this year? >> we are going through a regime shift and asset allocation. this is a critical time in cracked -- and capital market history in my mind. after 40 years of declining
7:08 am
rates, we finally made a higher height and rates we wiped out $17 trillion in negative yielding debt. this begs the question -- what do we do with asset palette tatian and tactically i would navigate this regime shift and that's been confusing but also structurally, the 60/40, i think the 60/40 needs to be modernized. of the 40, we should add maybe 15-20% different alternatives and look for equity protection strategies so re-think diversification. this is a critical time for doing this. tom: this is really important. that was a nice 15 year gift and we are back to normal. we cannot go out and find equity. we are not kkr and cannot find private equity. how do our listeners and viewers
7:09 am
participate in the sebastian page 50/15 in alternative? liquid alternatives are interesting if you know how to select them. it matters how you defined liquid interred -- alternatives. investment strategies that focus on relative value that have less of the traditional market exposure are also available in liquid forms. it also calls for rethinking how you navigate markets tactically and how you protect for the downside. the big question for the 60/40 is what is the role of duration of treasuries when we get interest rate shocks. we just had a 500 basis point shock from the fed and we are not getting another one. we've been adding duration back into portfolios. it's a critical question if you look at five or 10 years as to what will be the volatility of interest rates, what will be the volatility of an asian and how
7:10 am
do you position your boat folio -- your portfolio for those types of regimes? is -- it calls for things like real equity asset strategies, stocks we didn't really like for the last 10 years pre-pandemic when inflation was below 2% but energy companies, real estate, investment trusts, metals and mining, precious metals and so on, strategies that have a levered response to inflation shocks. this is part of the new regime for the next 5-10 years. lisa: how much is this regime changing in real time? there was a time when tech stocks were the most interest rate sensitive and yet we have seen yields rise in a tech rally in tandem. is that connection also broken and the diversification in these areas different than it was five months ago? >> in the short run, 6-12
7:11 am
months, we are navigating treacherous waters. the narrative around growth stocks has been driven by different factors. yes, this correlation seemed to have broken a little bit but there is an underlying negative -- narrative of getting close to peak rates in the tech companies have shown they are focused on efficiency and you see positive surprises from cloud revenues and positive surprises on digital advertising and then you hit another kind of regime shift in ai. that has really been part of this story and you covered it at length in your show. ai has been around for a long time. it seems like the large language martyr goes and chat gpt are another regime shift and that's part of the value of growth equation. we went back to neutral in our portfolios and we were long value all of last year and benefited from that and that we
7:12 am
are back to going between growth and value when we don't want to be underweight if the ai bubble if you will is like 1998. we would rather be a neutral now. tom: thank you so much for joining us today from t. rowe price. west texas intermediate is 72.09. 10 year yield is 3.77 percent. the two year yield is four point 7%. standard & poor's 500 up a negative point 2%. lisa: we are taking a look at s&p futures that are 0.3% lower and i wonder if we're looking at something at the beginning or to the point that there is this issue of even if there is a
7:13 am
promise, will there be a and how do you play that at a time of big expectations? tom: my problem with the 60/40 split, i'm hearing people talk about this that there is an alternative investments base which is fine. it's pro but i'm not sure how it gets into someone's 401(k). if you have 13 choices in your 401(k), we know what they are. there is a money market fund and bonds and bond portfolios got slaughtered last year and blue-chip equity and foreign equity and a bunch of marketing concepts. where does alternative fit into that? lisa: it was challenging to get real assets into the portfolio. we know a lot of potential challenges to different assets that perhaps are not as
7:14 am
recognized by people going alternative. tom: this is the shock and we dealt with last week at the fed meeting, it's the idea that the game we were comfortable with is done. lisa: maybe, some people argue against that. tom: there is a group that looks for rapid inflation. we will drive this conversation forward at 8:00 a.m.. the u.s. equity strategist at citigroup will join us. equity markets are down 34,000. spx 44.39. ♪ (sirens) [due at target in 5!] copy that.

chinese yuan. depreciation is where a currency is free and floating. the valuation is where governments really in charge of moving around its currency. i don't know where china fits into that. it's so opaque but i would use the word with china devaluation light. they controlled the yuan to a huge extent. lisa: perhaps they are not necessarily getting involved. they are kind of trying to cut rates around the edges but they are not delivering anything more major to prompt some robust growth to come back and that economy. tom: now we get a brief on china with the managing director of policy research at strategas. i love your note and that you don't mince words. you say china is broken.
7:19 am
it's such an outlandish phrase, what do you mean? >> good morning. we have been investors and thinking about whether or not there would be this big china rebound once it stopped its covid zero policy and started to reopen. we really haven't seen that transpire. we think the chinese dish chinese economy is quite broken at this point and they are struggling a little as they tried to move forward. it plays into the talks with antony blinken and u.s. business leaders as well. lisa: if you are seeing a desperation on the part of china but this recognition of the declines, how can they give assurances to businesses at a time of policy leaders pushing them to the other side to the risk and move supply chains out and they are not necessarily
7:20 am
facing free trade in that nation? >> i think china is trying to do that balance. you have seen there has been this issue with supply chains. you seem increasing rhetoric out -- out of the united states where they put companies to move out of china and moved to other locations and reshore and nearshore. what we have seen is that companies have been moving out of china to some extent. we've seen production that will remain in china but if there is production that would move to other countries, they are starting to move their supply chains out and we think china has been surprised by the rapidity with that has happened so they are trying to do a charm offensive and make sure they are still open for business and meeting with you as business leaders try to convince them to stay in the country. they also recognize there is this trend within the u.s. that the u.s. is pushing this with the west to try to move supply chains out of china and d risk
7:21 am
or d couple depending what country you may be talking to. there is deftly still a concerted effort regardless of whatever conversations antony blinken had over the weekend, there was still be an effort in the united states to try to do areas of tech control. that will continue to be a focus and will only continue to grow over the next few months. you look at what's happening in washington, the republican and democratic side continue to have a push to be tougher on china. that policy will not change any time soon. lisa: it's great to speak with you because you talk with companies in different policymakers and you can find the cross-sections between the two. you said the charm offensive is not to convince -- is to convince u.s. company not to move out of china. is it working? >> to some extent, there is an
7:22 am
effort -- not to buy into a big companies are trying to balance. they understand what is coming on the u.s. side and we have to figure out how they still manage their operations in china and tried to make sure there are guarantees. it there were to be another covid for instance, how do you deal with supply chains shutting down again? that's one of the biggest concerns that has driven production out of china. companies also need to be on the lookout by looking at supply chains and they are seeing what's on the forefront of policymakers minds in the u.s. and european countries. they also have to play that balance of how quickly we potentially move and what do we move and what do we think will be the next step over the next couple of years and how does that impact their bottom line? tom: users are up -15.
7:23 am
i want to turn to the domestic story. i noticed the distraction is there is not much going on in washington. i know i've got to be wrong on that. what are you focused on within our domestic debate as we begin the summer in washington? >> the u.s. has been focused on the debt ceiling for the past couple of months. that was resolved at the beginning of the month so now we are starting to see policymakers turn to other things. one of the biggest things you hear talk about is what they will do about the budget. will republicans try to cut the budget more than it was agreed to during the debt ceiling deal? that will be a big fight and they have quite a bit on their plate going to the second half. we think they will be busy over the next couple of months but particular for the end of the year as is normal in washington. they will be focused on china legislation and to kill her.
7:24 am
they will focus on appropriations and focusing on defense. we also think there is a possibility that we could see a small fiscal stimulus bill for the end of the year. you have the house ways and means committee that did a bill last week really try to talk about increasing the standard deduction for taxpayers and cutting taxes for businesses and restoring expensing for the r&d tax base and going back up to 100% so they are trying to do these things and we think that could show up again at the end of the year. tom: is that to extend the trump tax cuts? >> it is somewhat aligned to that. the deadlines would fall into place when the trump tax cuts expire in 2025. there is this effort in washington to think about looking ahead to the election year next year so they want to think about how the economy is
7:25 am
doing. we think a small stimulus package is more likely if you have the economy slowing to the end of the year. that's where this could play a factor. they are trying to make sure there is some stimulus to make sure the economy is in decent shape as we move into the electoral time. tom: did you see gregvaklliere this morning. he comes back and his entire morning note is on the deficit, the interest buildup we have with higher interest rates. the amount of money we are paying for interest at the government. he's never gloomy but as jenetta lose two, it's sporting six months forward in washington. we thought we would get some sort of fiscal discipline and we talked about how the debt ceiling resolution try to enforce caps on spending.
7:26 am
jeanette is talking about an expansion of fiscal stimulus. at what point in fiscal policy moving in the opposite direction of what people think and continuing to support some of this ongoing prolific spending by american consumers? tom: i've lost scope of the numbers. i cannot hug the numbers. i don't know what to do with them. lisa: it's part of the reason why people don't really get a handle on what the issues really are because the numbers are too big. tom: you cannick -- you cannot even hug the bull market. this is bloomberg, stay with us. ♪ amily. it can happen to the people who serve us and the people who served. the people we work late with and stay out late with. it can even happen to the person in the mirror.

interesting at a time like this. nike shares lower than 2%. this is after a raised concern about inventory problems. this comes after nike has crushed it. they direct to consumer trend has absolutely given them this incredible boost. yet, it is so difficult to understand this picture in the retail economy. tom: before we get to stocks, there are some really interesting stories today. this is the "where in god's name is jonathan ferro" moment in the show. we will be doing this daily. i really blame john for this. i have gotten to watch, and i won't bore you with the details about why it was so interesting, but pearly makes tires, like all the tires for the grand prix. the ceo designate is set to

leave the company. basically, this is where the italian government has stepped in and said to china, you cannot own this company. i'm saying this very loosely and uninformed, so i want to be careful. there are some who are a lot better at this than i am. but this is an interesting china story involving europe. i'm going to read this verbatim. "the secession plan was proposed between china, the company's largest shareholder, and camp and holding. but it will be radically modified." by the italian government." i find that radically fascinating -- i find that fascinating. lisa: i'm also looking away from the italian domestic stories, looking at phillip morris.

kisses been one area that is underplayed, people basically moving away from it due to some of the concerns about esg. some people are now saying that perhaps it is undervalued. alibaba is interesting because we are seeing it sag 2.28 percent. the senior chief executive saying -- he was replaced at the same time a lack of china stocks being down. tom: it is all very confusing. the 10-year total return, we are so use to, in times past, where demo was a certitude stock. now, 5.5% per year on phillip morris in the last 10 years.
7:35 am
right now, speaking of international, iain stealey joins us off the london desk of jp morgan here in studio. it is like a hayley mills movie coming out. remember "the parent trap?" this is the cash trap you are blistering in your note about the cash trap. how grim, how wrong, is it to be in cash right now? iain: i think you have to dig about what happened. cash looks greatest -- looks great today, but will it look good in six months time, nine months time? if the central banks do need to do a bit of fun about term, ultimately, buying fixed income assets, buying core bonds and 4% or 5%, they give you that attractive yield. maybe not quite as much as cash, but you get capital gain over the course of the year.
7:36 am
there is a real benefit of having that. and of course, what we have seen since silicon valley bank, is that correlation has returned, and the good news is that bonds can become the diversifier in your portfolio. we have seen over the past few months, that bonds are performing like they should perform. lisa: our clients growing disenchanted with cash or is the cash trap interesting? iain: i think the clients i speak to our interesting cash because they don't understand what's going on in the bond market. they looking at risk alsip -- risk asset value -- asset valuation. it is just safer to be in cash. but i still think that on a 12 month, 24 month forward-looking basis, bonds will give you a better return than cash. lisa: can you get bonds rallying
7:37 am
and starks rallying at the same time? if you do get some sort of downturn, it is going to be a report for equities at a time when a lot of people are expecting that that actually what actions -- actually will act -- iain: there's a very fine line for it to occur. you would need to have that soft landing. you would need to have central banks turn at exactly the right time, when they don't stifle growth too much and just allow that smooth runway to happen. that feels like a bit of a challenge with what we have been highlighting over the last few weeks. they want to keep going, they want to effectively nail down this inflation problem. the only way i can really see central banks being able to have that smooth runway would be to have inflation coming down of its own accord to the levels they would like it to be. it does feel like a challenge at this minute. tom: gideon rockman eft, short
7:38 am
and sweet. i knew the u.s. had bested over the past 10 years, but gideon absolutely nailed how europe is falling behind. a lot of people in america are curious about the ownership of european blue chips. you guys own the space. should we be in european blue chips or is it just truly american exceptionalism? iain: if you look at the composition of europe, it is definitely not as supportive protect markets. from a bondholder standpoint, i might like to cap on this. but if you look at the returns we have seen more recently, europe is starting to improve. i think the underperformance of europe that we see for a long period of time us starting to come back -- is starting to come back. rates in europe are showing some more confidence around europe. there certainly something to investing in europe. tom: you have your bond hat on,
7:39 am
but this is important. there is dividend strategy and is there a bond equivalent? iain: they are more of a bond proxy. we don't have that tech element within european markets. the yield's that you are getting on european space within stocks is attractive. likewise, for the first time in a number of years, and a couple of decades, really, the yields are on european fixed income are attractive. lisa: i have to say, at this midpoint in this year, i have to look at how people are giving out 4% rates, at a time when they thought they could never get above zero. same thing in the u.s. as we take a look into the second half of this year, after a 500 basis point move from the fed, can we say that the expectations were wrong and that some sort of rapid increase in
7:40 am
rate would cause some sort of credit crisis? iain: it is difficult to say that hasn't happened yet. but definitely, you are completely correct. we have definitely seen more buoyancy in the economic market, consumers healthier than we expected, able to deal with higher rates. you could argue that this depends a lot on the demand we still have on the back of the pandemic. you can argue that we had this huge amount of stimulus from the government side. we had paychecks and furlough schemes over in europe. i think over the coming quarters, we are going to start to see that pain coming through. if you look at some of the comments out of the resolution foundation and the u.k., the bank of england is thinking about one-third of the broader economy, mortgage refinancing is going to occur. this is just happening with lax
7:41 am
and possibly the issue that people had was that those lags are taking longer to play out than people expected. tom: i'm going to go there because it is not a fixed rate, it is a floating rate. the floating rate structure in the united kingdom, what is going to be the damage to the floating rate structure versus the fixed-rate? iain: the good news for the u.k. is that the floating rate is not as bad as it used to be. we have had a number of people turn out in two years or five years. those lagged impacts are starting to come through. but we are starting to see the people who were taking mortgages back in 2021, they are likely to be one-third of mortgage refinancing over the next year or so. we are likely to see it. definitely can argue that the u.s. is in a better place with the 30-year and 15-year mortgages from a couple years

7:43 am
i'm just wondering what you make of this, considering the fact that it is not something that we want to relive. it is basically one of the worst crashes out there. people are going down to see it come at potentially getting stuck. tom: everyone of a certain ilk, of a certain generation, is always and forever scarred by the thresher. it was a submarine of the united states navy that simply went down. that was back when technology was a lot less. it was a frightening time for kids, very much in the zeitgeist for weeks and weeks. america was humbled by that technological failure of the u.s. navy and their submarine. it had so much to do with the modernization of our fleet. my only observation is that all of us pray for these five people in a huge search, at a huge risk, in the portal north atlantic.

different to the u.s. we have the major european banks here all caught up in this deal risking we have seen in the last couple of years. then, you have this kind of sideshow, so to speak, that has evolved with all those boutique firms you have mentioned, who are run by individuals, by people who are keen to take on risks the big banks cannot do. that has been seen here in europe for a while now. i'm pretty sure it is going to continue what we have seen now with ubs and credit suisse, and all of this going down, the ecb saying just yesterday that they will put harsher stress tests, the major appetite for those banks in europe, i don't see that going up, but staying the same or even going down. there will probably be more for those boutique firms and more risky parts of the business to grab market share. tom: they're going to grab market share, but are they going
7:50 am
to do it, and i am simply looking for what bloomberg reports with its incredible banking team, but are they going to do it with foreign ownership, like english football, or will it be understood to be minority ownership? how will that cut with different tranches of minority ownership? jan-patrick: going forward, the question to me is, if you really want to put a stake in a european bank, the lessons learned from my perspective is that you can't be sure anymore that you are being treated with the best outcome when push comes to shove. is there anybody out there in european financials? i'm not so sure. there are obviously people with a good business model, halfway decent balance sheet that can
7:51 am
handle a storm, but can you handle dividends and share gains? for sure. but you don't need majority stakes. lisa: you are at the epicenter of one of the biggest banking stories in history, which is credit suisse becoming part of ubs. we are hearing reasons for why ubs may have wanted this from the swiss government in particular. how much are the liabilities if credit suisse, making it difficult to be the stand-alone entity that people think, and even ubs has said they want to keep gekko -- keep? jan-patrick: that is why the purchase price on shaper -- on paper was so cheap for ubs. nobody really knows what else is there underneath in the books, how outgoing those are going to
7:52 am
perform in the next couple of weeks. negation is a big issue. we see this today. you can only estimate so far what the regulator and other courts, judges put on you. let's not forget ubs has a fair part of that on its own on its balance sheet. so, that is something they figure out now and have to figure out fast. investors don't like uncertainty. the benefit for ubs is it is a complex merger and we have to give them some time to figure out the details and all the stuff. but litigation is something they are going to address rather fast. you don't want to have those headlines. they are never good in any way. we want to assemble the regulators here really fast, make sure the market is bearable, which is in line with the story i have seen today. and then, you have this one topic off the rails. you can focus on the train going forward and focusing on the technical things of the merger.
7:53 am
lisa: how is morale right now at the remaining credit suisse unit, at a time when it is been talked about the need for prudent public culture and basically saying there will be significant job cuts at the unit, at credit suisse, in an op-ed that he published in the past couple of days? jan-patrick: i have spoken to a couple of people. what they are telling me is not super distressing. they know what is coming and there will be a difficult few months with the merger. with the chairman and ceo both being very harsh in terms of what they are saying to employees, their message right now is for the investors. they want to tell investors that there will be no hiccups going forward, no more of the same misjudgment of risk, misjudgment of the balance sheet. they want to reassure investors that this merger is going to be profitable for them at the end of the line. for a moment, they don't really care about the morale.
7:54 am
of course they need the people on board to make this merger worked going forward. but in the meantime, i think the priority is to keep investors on board, make sure shares recover, then we can talk about people who are left over and what to do with them. tom: one final question, and it is one that i would ask of sonali basak, our chief financial correspondent. it is june. i understand you take four weeks off in august, as does everyone else in europe. but what is the rationalization of headcount going to look like among european banks in the fall and even into early next year? is there a foreboding to that? jan-patrick: the headcount of european banks has never gone up in the past decade, and there is good reason for that, and i don't see that changing. most banks, especially the major ones, have cut headcount so far. they are not trying to pad more per year. ai is the big thing in the room.
7:55 am
if they can cut even more, if they use more technology, the big thing is going to be credit suisse. the company had 50,000 employees, 17,000 in the investment bank. they want to do massive cuts. when a ceo says massive, it usually means 50% or more, is my guess. we will see tens of thousands of jobs being lost here again, mainly from credit suisse. but it is also a topic still for the other european banks. nobody is really hiring on a big scale here. tom: jan-patrick barnert, thank you so much. a great summary of european banking. i am fascinated how this works out. i mention this last week. i can't remember if it was on radio or tv, but lisa, i am just so colored by my childhood and understanding of three swiss banks.
7:56 am
i am in shock that there is only one swiss bank. whatever they say about whatever they're going to massage with credit suisse. lisa: i think that is a shock a lot of people are feeling. especially when sergio armani said the combined swiss -- the combined bank of switzerland. this is now the combined bank at a time when competitors are being rolled up into one. tom: right now in the data check, negative dow futures. we are watching bitcoin just under $27,000. an eventful day with bitcoin and binance. we have some economic data coming out. remember, it is tuesday, not monday, so we have economic data on the housing market. oil is $71.68 on american oil. the dollar is fractionally weaker. on rio and television, this is

8:03 am
happened to that down turn. tom: we call it a cash track. if you are in cash you're not in the game if and when you move higher. there is no question of that as we come up to this midyear 2023. the major thing here is how do you recalibrate if you have been wicked right, how do you recalibrate if you participated in the market. how do you recalibrate if you miss this? lisa: it is we call it a cash t. if you are in cash you're not in the game if and when you move higher. there is no question of that as we come up to this midyear 2023. the major thing here is how do you recalibrate if you have been wicked right, how do you
8:04 am
recalibrate if you participated in the market. how do you recalibrate if you miss this? lisa: it is a tough year. my question is will fedex become an ai company to dramatically transform their company? are we looking at where there is this reality underpinning some hopes and dreams but people are becoming a little bit frenzy in this thirst for some sort of return? tom: stay in our coverage compay transform their company? are we looking at where there is this reality underpinning some hopes and dreams but people are becoming a little bit frenzy in this thirst for some sort of return? tom: stay in our coverage at 4:00 p.m., company to dramaticay transform their company? are we looking at where there is this reality underpinning some hopes and dreams but people are becoming a little bit frenzy in this thirst for some sort of return? tom: stay in our coverage at 4:00 p.m., fedex is an important bellwether for what is going on and what we will see from corporations. company to dramatically transform their company? are we looking at where there is this reality underpinning some hopes and dreams but people are becoming a little bit frenzy in this thirst for some sort of return? tom: stay in our coverage at 4:00 p.m., fedex is an important bellwether for what is going on and what we will see from corporations. we have heard from others, kaiser mentioned the revenue is the major thing. mike wilson saying that the gross will not be there. lisa:lisa: how do we get down ta lower inflationary environment if you don't see pain? those are the questions underpinning a market that is seeing in eight week gain. the losses are not that significant. s&p futures are lower gain.

8:33 am
brett dynamics look like or are they two different worlds? mike: there has been a lot of apartment construction, they had lowered prices to attract people during the pandemic. then they jacked those prices up a lot following the pandemic and now things are starting to even out or go down. nownow the inflation data with t prices coming down we will start to see prices go back up again given the timelines in there. the important thing here is, we are seeing an enormous hiring a construction. if you look at the charts and i will show one to lisa during the 9:00 show. because i don't want to upset the people listening on the radio. the construction numbers are

the institution? is that cautious view valid ? peter: we are still facing a global inflation problem. we had a little taste of that last week from jay powell. i think certainly the u.s., europe, the u.k. especially looking out inflation that is persistently sticky at the core level. we have seen significant changes , it is easy to get inflation down from elevated levels to halfway there. it is the final few miles that are tough. tom: deutsche bank has been
8:37 am
committed to the pacific rim for years. from japan to the deep shelf. do we have a clear picture of asian economics and a clear picture of chinese economics? peter: china is a bit of a puzzle. we had a big bounce as they opened up after covid. then softening significantly, they will need some policy stimulus to get things back to where they want to have them. our team in china's optimistic. they think households will be spending. where u.s. households have spent down their excess savings, chinese households have not. we do expect construction and homebuilding to be an increasing booster growth.
8:38 am
it's a mixed picture. tom: you talk about a boom to growth. the fact that we got the biggest jump in housing starts going back than a year. a lot of people have seen we have seen the bottom of the housing markets, how much could that boost the american economy? peter: homebuilders got a big surprise yesterday. and now with these numbers today, this is a large surprise. that kind of increasing and construction -- increase in construction. the housing market is tight. vacancy rates are very low at this point and you are looking at a residential construction that has come down sharply from the peaks that we saw just after the pandemic we had a big boost.

8:40 am
powell has a tough job. he has a split view on the hill. he is going to have to say we can get inflation down without a major recession coming. if he pulls this off it will be unprecedented for a fed chair. tom: this is an important statement. although surveys and snark is that he is an fed president. he has to quote pull this off". peter: he has to bring inflation down to 2% without pushing unemployment up to 5%. tom: your thoughts? peter: it's never been done for four. every one of the inflation
8:41 am
episodes, every one of those is been accompanied by a recession. this would be unprecedented. powell has some things in his favor. the most important one, thanks to all the hard work voelker and greenspan did get inflation down. inflation expectations are pretty well anchored longer-term. they are not that much above the level we were over the last decade. that makes it possible but it is a mighty difficult task to pull this off. tom: unclear and insane we will not get back to 2%, can our institution make the shift to a higher implied inflation? whatever the number may be? peter: not under powell's
8:42 am
leadership or the current membership. they are absolutely committed to the 2% objective. they don't want to kill fed credibility. powell is a second term chair. he wants to leave with the legacy of being paul volcker ii . he doesn't want to be the one who let things slip on inflation. tom: peter hooper from deutsche bank securities. the call on the recession. futures are up -15, s&p futures are down .33%. lisa: coming up on the open, i will be filling in for jonathan ferro who was on vacation, will

meghan: you have yields a relatively attractive levels but it's time to be buying. what history tells us is that you need to wait until the final fed hike of the cycle to feel more confident going long duration. what we see from investors, is the global asset sentiment survey. it has a pretty long history and it tells us the right now, investors have more confidence and long and frustration than they have it any other point in time. tom: the fed is that the two-year space, long-duration is that currently at 10 years or a different maturity? meghan: you can think across the curve, what you see and what we have been guarding investors for
8:50 am
is when you're talking about longer duration you're talking about 10 year, 30 year. versus the front end of the curve which will be pulled higher with the fed delivering more rate hikes. tom: the problem i have with this, everyone likes to talk about the spread market. forget about it, bonds went down 15% as a round number. we have come back to 87, 88, 90. are you as a bond investor investing total return or somewhere out there you get back to what you remember or is this a new level we are dealing with? meghan: the answer that question comes down to the inflation outlook.
8:51 am
if you look at market price the prior segment, the market has a lot of confidence. that inflation will be down to 2% by the end of the year. you are going to be able to see the fed cut alongside that. tom: your research is in issuance. what are cfos going to do in this milleu? they sell a gazillion bonds, what will be see in total with issuance? meghan: on the back of this repositioning that we've seen from investors more broadly, we see continuing issuance. if you look at the feds
8:52 am
facility, you have a lot of cash . but longer durations, 10 years and out? who will the marginal buyers be and that is another risk, that of wanting to be long-duration. tom: the consensus view, you will look out to 10 years which seems like a thousand years away or you will buy it and click the coupon if the price goes down you still have the coupon to help you. the hope and prayer of the market is that price goes up along with that to a significant total return. meghan: again, if the fed is able to see the inflation level the market expects, it would make sense that the fed would get to a more neutral setting.
8:53 am
you will have down where pressured on those yields on the back in. the risky thing for investor is stickier inflation and currently this fed does not have a lot of confidence in their forecast. we don't think they are going to stop tightening until they see core cpi coming closer to .10 percent. year and we have 315, a bit lower than the levels were sitting at and that is due in part to the fact that we will be beyond the fed's final rate hike of the cycle and you are going to have a better look at what the final rates will be. it is looking near term that you will be sitting in this range between 325-375. tom: the answer here, do you
8:54 am
barbell or do you flatter up maturities if you're scared stiff and the stock market? meghan: that's the important point hereto. rates, duration and portfolio is the best risk off asset. if you have pressure on the equity market you're more inclined to see rates be that hedge. a key point is whether we will see this recession that many economists are calling for at the start of the year. but the data has been slowly resilient. the u.s. economy has been much more resilient what the fed were giving it credit for which limits how much you can see the equity market fall. it's great when you see apple computer put out a 30 year piece. what is the plus/minus of
8:55 am
long-term duration of full faith and credit right now? you have to be more fought -- humble about where rates will fall. a big part of that will be to see nominal rates move higher in building buffers when they are cutting. the probability that the fed cuts down is more limited here. you probably have to think -- tom: this is the trap folks. as many of you know, it is on the mat. even with some of the constructive things in europe, the austrian 97 year peace.
8:56 am
it hasn't come up? thus the trap they are talking about on a less inflammatory basis. meghan: near-term you have more potential in the front end, you see the market only placing another 50 basis points. you will see more upward pressure on the front end of the curve. we think investors who have been position for the end of the hiking cycle, you need to be careful here. a good way to hedge this is to push back on the markets. tom: the way to hedge it is to buy nvidia? meghan swiber from bank of america. i can say she did not comment on nvidia. coming up, doug johnson -- guy
