[0]
it looks like it's gonna be another
[0]
tough day on Wall Street after the
[2]
Federal Reserve once again raised
[4]
interest rates the Fed announced
[5]
yesterday that as the market had
[8]
expected it was going to raise a
[9]
benchmark rate the BART move that was a
[12]
fourth increase this year and the night
[14]
since the Central Bank begin normalizing
[16]
rates three years ago so Steve you've
[18]
got some charts for us to put
[20]
yesterday's decision by the Fed put it a
[24]
little more in context what in the world
[26]
is going on and now I have to be serious
[28]
right no more yeah no more background
[31]
data business first so first let's take
[33]
a look at what happened the stock market
[35]
has had a rough several months and in
[37]
fact when you add it all together the
[39]
stock market is back to it was 15 months
[41]
ago its back where it was before Donald
[44]
Trump's tax plan that was going to make
[46]
America great again was put in place but
[48]
by the way it's down what what
[52]
percentage is it down since I mean 2 3 4
[54]
% since the tax cuts well since the tax
[59]
cuts yeah it's down to 3 or 4 or 5%
[61]
something like that yeah and this is
[63]
actually going to be the worst December
[65]
since 1931 for the stock by the way
[67]
what's it a great year not a great year
[71]
1931 so why is this happening and there
[74]
are a lot of reasons it's very always
[76]
hard to decipher the stock market even
[77]
after it happens on long before but
[79]
global growth slowing global growth is
[82]
playing a role so we'll take a look at
[83]
those numbers and if you look over here
[85]
you can see that on a global basis
[88]
growth is coming down from is projected
[92]
to come down from 3.2 percent to 3
[95]
percent now that may not sound like a
[96]
lot a lot but that's a couple hundred
[98]
billion dollars when you look at it
[100]
across the world's economy well and you
[102]
look at China let's put this back up it
[104]
wasn't so long ago that China was
[106]
experiencing 8 9 10 percent growth now
[109]
of course you've shown you know past
[113]
couple years and it's down now a couple
[115]
of percent to 6 but quite a change over
[119]
5 years yes but remember also that China
[120]
makes up their numbers to some degree
[122]
and so there are many fears that China
[124]
is actually in much worse shape than
[126]
what you're looking at so they may not
[127]
even be there what you're looking at
[128]
here and for the US we're looking at
[130]
growth somewhere in the two and a half
[132]
percent range next year we
[133]
a long way from the 3% plus that Donald
[136]
from told us was let's ask let me ask
[138]
you is this just you look over a hundred
[142]
years and there's an ebb and a flow
[144]
there's a recession there's a recovery
[147]
then we go back down towards the
[150]
recession isn't this just part of a
[152]
natural business cycle some degree it is
[154]
economists say that recoveries don't die
[157]
of old age except that they do and we
[159]
are at the tail end as you say have a
[160]
long business cycle but nonetheless
[163]
nonetheless it's very possible if Donald
[165]
Trump will be facing a recession in 2020
[169]
as he runs for reelection what is there
[170]
on that cycle why yeah let's look at
[172]
just this last chart for one second and
[174]
you can see what the world is think
[176]
thinks is going to happen to interest
[177]
rates which is an arbiter of the future
[180]
so the Fed has been bringing down its
[182]
interest rate projections and you can
[183]
see that up here and that was part of
[186]
what it announced yesterday but the
[187]
market thinks this is what's happening
[189]
interest rates the market thinks that
[191]
interest rates might go up a little more
[193]
but then in 2020 they will be actually a
[196]
little bit lower than they are today now
[197]
that's good news for borrowers as
[199]
goodness people getting a mortgage but
[200]
it's a signal that the market thinks
[202]
there's a bunch of economic weakness
[203]
coming you globally what is the biggest
[207]
driver to stagnation that we're starting
[211]
to say you know it varies Europe is a
[213]
mess you got brexit you've got Italy
[215]
with the banks are in trouble you've got
[216]
Germany which actually had a negative
[217]
quarter of GDP growth you know what's
[219]
happening in France right so they've got
[221]
a whole set of problems
[222]
China's got a set of problems where she
[224]
is trying to manage the economy but not
[226]
it's not working that well and where
[228]
they're over built over invests it over
[230]
in debt and then in the u.s. we had this
[232]
sugar high from the tax cut from
[234]
spending that's worn off and now we are
[237]
drifting back toward 2% growth maybe
[239]
worse and you I know we have to go they
[241]
keep telling we have to go but I just
[242]
have to ask this question I did the set
[244]
up I have to ask a final question so you
[248]
look at what the world is looking like
[249]
what the EU is looking like what Britain
[252]
Germany what what China Russia's like
[254]
the United States of America still is
[257]
the safest port in the storm right we
[260]
well China's going to higher growth but
[263]
in terms of basic I'm gonna develop the
[265]
world we will
[265]
the fastest rate of growth even under
[267]
these circumstances that as far as
[269]
long-term stability I don't know what's
[271]
gonna happen to China but as you often
[273]
point out we also have one of the worst
[274]
fiscal positions of any country in the
[276]
world and that's gonna come home to
[278]
roost at some point too but look the
[279]
bottom line I think to some degree is
[281]
that Donald Trump is not going to be
[283]
running two years from now with a 3%
[285]
plus growing economy and on wages having
[289]
gone up a lot for the average American
[290]
alright Steve thanks that was great up
[293]
next we have a pair of US congressman
[295]
from opposite sides of the aisle we're
[297]
gonna get their reaction to the
[298]
president's new Syria policy and the
[300]
push to avoid a government shutdown now
