so walk me through the way you're
[1]
viewing the market right now is it seems
[2]
we've got progress in the economy we see
[4]
the employment situation improving yet
[7]
we also continue to see a tenure yield
[8]
that gets lower
[9]
and lower how do we reconcile these
[11]
things
[13]
well our economy is in recovery and we
[15]
look at both from the consumer
[17]
starting to spend as well as businesses
[19]
and cap x
[20]
uh reaching pre-pandemic levels that's
[24]
all very good and when we're coming now
[26]
into
[26]
a new quarter uh we expect that
[30]
we're going to see some positive
[31]
earnings although we see the headwinds
[33]
of
[34]
the supply chain so we're going to hear
[36]
more guidance
[37]
going forward and what the expectations
[39]
are and continued growth
[41]
but still working through those supply
[43]
chain issues
[44]
so if we've got some of these supply
[47]
chain problems resolving
[49]
that's right now leading to a lot of
[50]
people saying our inflation risk is
[53]
passed our peak inflation concerns are
[55]
passed what do you think about that
[57]
sentiment laureen
[59]
you know we think that it's not
[61]
necessarily transitory inflation that
[63]
it's going to be more persistent
[65]
and that is going to potentially cause
[68]
a misstep by the fed if they don't
[70]
recognize it early enough
[72]
and so i think one of the biggest risks
[74]
to our economy
[76]
is not right now but in the future if
[78]
the fed doesn't act soon enough
[80]
then they may have to be aggressive when
[82]
they do act and at that point
[84]
you know that that that historically has
[87]
not had a great outcome so
[89]
we still see about our markets actually
[92]
july is when it tends to be one of the
[93]
best
[94]
months uh in the post-election year
[97]
and so i think that just right now
[99]
things are good as far as the markets
[101]
are concerned
[102]
but investors need to be looking forward
[105]
to
[105]
those inflationary impacts and what that
[108]
could mean to the economy eventually
[110]
i think the point that you bring up here
[111]
about the fed potentially
[114]
overstepping or misstepping is very
[117]
salient to our discussion this morning
[118]
because
[119]
it seems that our good data is not
[121]
enough to get yields
[123]
moving meaningfully higher and then as
[125]
the fed gets more hawkish we see the
[127]
yield curve totally
[128]
collapse after their comments do you
[131]
think that concern
[132]
i mean is that i guess a good
[133]
explanation it seems like it would fit
[136]
that the market's worried the fed might
[137]
overact
[139]
right i do think so but it's good to see
[141]
that those uh
[142]
we have some stability there in the
[144]
tenure and
[145]
the other thing i would mention is that
[147]
one of the areas that we
[149]
particularly like in the fixed income
[151]
space
[152]
is local currency emerging market debt
[155]
that's an area for investors to look at
[158]
and
[158]
as we continuously we've saw some
[160]
strengthening of the dollar but we think
[162]
that there's going to be a long-term
[163]
trend of a weakening dollar
[165]
and that's an area that investors should
[166]
be looking at right now
[169]
so lorraine when we look at uh the bond
[171]
market telling us maybe we should be
[173]
worried about
[174]
a a fed misstep or too much tightness
[178]
in policy does it make sense that stocks
[180]
keep making highs in this environment
[184]
well yes i mean so what we've seen right
[186]
now we've seen the comeback of
[187]
technology and now when we look at
[189]
at the markets in large cap space you
[191]
know value and growth are
[193]
just about equal right now whereas there
[195]
was a larger disparity and now that
[197]
large cap growth has come back up so
[200]
that's when you really ask yourself
[201]
where do you want to be over the next 10
[203]
years and you can
[204]
purchase stocks let's just say in the
[206]
large cup value area that should that
[207]
throw off
[208]
dividends um and you're comparing that
[210]
to a still a low
[212]
yielding environment in fixed income
[214]
fixed income has really become more of
[216]
the
[217]
stabilization over in your overall
[219]
portfolio but not really generating much
[222]
in the way of returns and that's why i
[224]
was saying as far as yields are
[225]
concerned and when people are looking
[227]
for yields
[228]
looking outside the u.s and looking at
[229]
merging market debt and local currencies
[232]
could be a good way to add to that fixed
[234]
income portfolio but like you said
[236]
we do think that equities still
[239]
have valuations some areas overextended
[242]
but overall
[243]
uh somewhat normalized valuations
[245]
overall
[246]
so we still see room to run in the
[248]
equity site okay
[250]
and the preference there is for these
[252]
more kind of
[253]
cyclical oriented themes in the market
[256]
does that extend to direct reopening
[258]
plays lately that have been really
[259]
struggling
[260]
airlines cruise lines yeah so we think
[263]
travel and leisure are going to be the
[265]
next areas as we've seen
[267]
as far as hiring is concerned more
[269]
hiring there
[270]
there is the reopening people are
[272]
anxious to get out and travel
[274]
and while those plans may be a little
[276]
bit further out maybe not
[278]
as much this summer but people planning
[281]
right now for next summer so we expect
[282]
that that trend
[283]
is going to continue and that there's
[285]
going to be more travel and leisure
[288]
and those are going to be beneficial for
[289]
those areas of the market
[310]
