[0]
let's begin with the markets guys and on
[1]
track to erase that post-fed rally this
[3]
is what the fed chair said yesterday
[5]
about how far the fed must go to
[7]
successfully combat inflation
[11]
i think we'll know when we get there
[13]
really i mean i honestly though that
[14]
that would be you would have positive
[16]
real rates i think and inflation coming
[18]
down by then i think you'd have positive
[20]
real rates across the curve
[21]
um i think that that you know the
[23]
neutral rate is pretty low these days
[25]
so uh i i would think it would but you
[28]
know what we're going to we're going to
[29]
find that out empirically we're not
[31]
we're not going to be completely model
[33]
driven about this we're going to we're
[34]
going to be looking at at this keeping
[36]
our eyes open and reacting to incoming
[38]
data both on financial conditions and on
[41]
what's happening in the
[42]
economy one of the more interesting
[44]
points he made jim was that headline is
[47]
what consumers feel and that's leading a
[49]
lot of people to say oil is the key nat
[51]
gas in europe today explains a lot yeah
[54]
look that gas in europe is a function of
[56]
that freeport facility that that
[59]
yesterday that david talked about
[60]
because that looks like it's going to be
[62]
a longer outage by the way yeah
[64]
end of the year potentially yeah end of
[65]
the year for some not all of them i
[67]
think a lot of us
[69]
puzzle over the following
[71]
how could there be such
[73]
voracious furious buying in the last
[75]
hour
[76]
and then beginning at 4am
[78]
remarkable unwind
[80]
what happened
[82]
who was wrong were the buyers wrong or
[85]
the seller's gonna be wrong now i come
[87]
back and say that there were a lot of
[89]
people who were
[91]
instantly saying you know what he means
[93]
business 75
[95]
and then the second thought people just
[96]
said you know what if we parse it and he
[98]
says well maybe 50 maybe somebody he
[100]
never said what you really want which is
[103]
look i will favor jobless
[106]
i favor unemployment
[108]
over inflation i want people to stop
[111]
being able to job hop stop being able to
[113]
get razors and get laid off now jake
[116]
j-pal's not that kind of guy so that's a
[118]
very hard thing for him to say so carl
[119]
what i see when when he speaks is it
[122]
troubles him to say what he has to do
[124]
with his favorite cat uh capital over
[126]
labor just troublesome and i think what
[128]
a lot of people are thinking about is he
[130]
can no longer be troubled what he has to
[131]
just say is listen i got to go on all in
[133]
people get fired all in layoffs and
[136]
that's going to do it until we get some
[138]
sort of resolution oil
[140]
and some sort of resolution food and
[142]
some sort of resolution supply chain he
[144]
just was unwilling except for right at
[146]
the end when he said a young couple
[148]
should be more concerned he just he's
[150]
got to bite the bullet well the the
[152]
median year-end dot plot has gone from
[155]
one nine to three four i mean they've
[158]
they've gotten more aggressive well
[159]
that's what i thought and that's why i
[160]
thought that people bought
[162]
and then
[163]
there's just too many people who feel
[165]
you know what the heck with the dot plot
[166]
let's go all volcker uh i'm looking for
[168]
a 94 scenario which is that there are
[170]
multiple rate hikes and it works three
[173]
to six and it works uh david i think
[176]
there's a lot of people this morning
[178]
who have remorse
[180]
and say you know what we have to sell
[182]
tech that's a whole other issue but we
[184]
have to sell everything bonds stocks
[187]
because he's a failed fed chief and i
[190]
heard almost everyone this morning
[191]
called him a fed a failed veggie
[194]
really it's gone that far yes i think it
[196]
has that there is this label being yes
[199]
being appended to his tenure well i'm
[200]
not buying that but you know i know
[202]
you're not i know you're not
[204]
um
[205]
things turned this last night right i
[207]
mean they're literally 4am
[209]
which is europe right
[211]
there's been a story
[212]
that i've heard now a couple of times
[214]
you know the swiss we pointed out
[215]
raising
[216]
rates do you know the swiss national
[218]
bank owned 177 billion in u.s stocks
[221]
yeah yeah including including a lot of
[224]
tech stocks oh my god they're like tiger
[227]
global
[228]
no i don't you know they changed their
[230]
language on a potential currency
[232]
intervention hey david that's they
[234]
dropped the one-sided commitment to
[235]
guard against currency depreciation
[237]
right the swiss have been very focused
[238]
on keeping the franks strong
[240]
but um
[242]
but there is
[244]
and will not we won't know but there is
[246]
uh a question as to whether or not
[248]
uh the swiss national bank
[251]
um with that 177 billion in u.s stock uh
[255]
may not proceed to start to sell some to
[257]
keep the swiss franc stronger
[260]
holy cow
[261]
okay so let's say that by the way don't
[263]
know no no but i've heard it now from
[265]
three separate people this morning
[266]
asking the question no but but what's
[268]
interesting is is that the stocks that
[269]
got hit the hardest between four and
[272]
five a.m yeah were fine
[274]
they were banging a couple semis i mean
[276]
but isn't that the most obvious take a
[277]
look at the swiss national banks 13.
[279]
look at the ones you you isolated the
[281]
ones that are most visible if you're you
[284]
know you're not selling carvana if
[285]
you're from you you didn't buy no you
[287]
didn't buy airbnb they own a lot of
[289]
apple this is what they own yeah it is
[291]
david that makes so much sense don't
[293]
know if it's it's again
[295]
but the idea would be that you're
[296]
actually selling to make sure you main
[299]
you you keep the frank stronger well
[301]
they sell whatever i have right but
[303]
i don't know i'm not sure what's going
[305]
on jen see you know carl
[307]
when i was watching the sell-off and i
[309]
said to myself okay so they're they're
[310]
not selling walmart but by the way by
[313]
raising rates you're already
[315]
your currency is you know you're helping
[317]
your currency so it's it's not clear to
[318]
me exactly well they're likely to think
[320]
that they're like they know what they're
[321]
doing anymore than anybody else don't
[323]
know anyway but i did the switchbacks i
[325]
was puzzling over why these stocks the
[328]
most name brand visible stocks you
[330]
include intel there too and it was these
[333]
were the name brand guys and then the
[335]
rest of the market was not going down so
[337]
i'm trying to think who is really
[339]
unloading is someone painting the tape
[340]
no not at 4am those guys are too lazy
[343]
what it really is is there's an
[344]
aggressive seller in the marketplace but
[346]
i lacked
[348]
anybody who could be that seller and you
[350]
may have answered you may have answered
[352]
the puzzle
