0:24
Speaker 2: Here are the latest headlines on the Bloomberg. The fierce
0:27
Speaker 2: winds expended to continue in southern California, exacerbating wildfires and
0:31
Speaker 2: putting lives at risk. And the number of dead that
0:35
Speaker 2: we know about right now, it is up to twenty
0:38
Speaker 2: four and that's expected to climb. Let's get the update
0:41
Speaker 2: on all this. Will Wade is the Bloomberg Energy and
0:44
Speaker 2: climate reporter here at Bloomberg. Will put things into perspective
0:49
Speaker 2: for those of us on the East Coast. How much
0:52
Speaker 2: has burned?
0:53
Speaker 3: A lot? I mean a whole lot. We're up to
0:56
Speaker 3: about forty thousand acres. I know that sounds like kind
0:59
Speaker 3: of a random number. So here's some perspective. Forty thousand
1:02
Speaker 3: acres is a little bit bigger than Staten Island.
1:05
Speaker 4: Wow.
1:05
Speaker 5: Well, what do we know so far about the origins
1:09
Speaker 5: of these fires?
1:11
Speaker 3: Oh?
1:11
Speaker 6: It started, and.
1:13
Speaker 3: You know what we don't know a whole lot about that.
1:15
Speaker 3: I was just talking to my teammates. We cover utilities,
1:19
Speaker 3: so obviously we've seen in the past a lot of
1:23
Speaker 3: power lines get blamed for fires, and so often it's
1:27
Speaker 3: the case we Pgenie went bankrupt a few years ago
1:30
Speaker 3: because they started a terrible fire. Today we don't know
1:34
Speaker 3: that utility in Southern California, Southern California Edison, and they
1:38
Speaker 3: are looking at their power lines. There's no evidence now,
1:41
Speaker 3: but they've fielded some of these requests to retain evidence.
1:46
Speaker 3: So that's definitely where people are checking.
1:48
Speaker 2: First, we've heard a lot of blame being pointed at
1:52
Speaker 2: the mayor, at the governor. Is there any legitimacy to
1:56
Speaker 2: any of that at all? As far as you.
1:59
Speaker 3: Can tell, As far as I can tell, it seems
2:02
Speaker 3: like a lot of politicization. I may turn out to
2:06
Speaker 3: be wrong on that, but for today, I'd say, don't
2:10
Speaker 3: pay too much attention to that stuff.
2:12
Speaker 5: So you're the energy and climate reporter for us folks
2:17
Speaker 5: out here in New York. Help us kind of understand
2:21
Speaker 5: the climate in California.
2:24
Speaker 3: Not only the geography, but just the winds.
2:27
Speaker 5: And the weather that they have that kind of propelled
2:31
Speaker 5: this fire and is causing it to spread so quickly.
2:33
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean, I know this really well. I grew
2:36
Speaker 3: up in California the fall and winter months, the Santa
2:40
Speaker 3: Ana winds. They come every year. But what's happened in
2:44
Speaker 3: the past several years is, you know, with climate change,
2:47
Speaker 3: we've got longer, hotter summers. We've been had droughts, so
2:53
Speaker 3: you've get these hillsides that are just baked dry all
2:56
Speaker 3: summer long, all fall long. There's nothing there but dry
3:01
Speaker 3: bush and trees, and it's fuel for fires. And then
3:05
Speaker 3: the winds come and any tiny spark can trigger it,
3:09
Speaker 3: and the winds are going to just blow these blazes
3:11
Speaker 3: all over the place. That's was the problem. A week
3:14
Speaker 3: ago when there were like ninety mile an hour winds.
3:19
Speaker 3: They died down for a few days, but they started
3:21
Speaker 3: back up again. Now it's supposed to last through Wednesday,
3:25
Speaker 3: could be more after that. I think they're up to
3:28
Speaker 3: seventy mile per hour gusts coming this week. So it
3:31
Speaker 3: blows sparks, it fans the flames, it makes it harder
3:34
Speaker 3: to put them out.
3:35
Speaker 2: What is the What do we know in terms of
3:38
Speaker 2: the economic damage so far?
3:40
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a big number. I just saw a number
3:42
Speaker 3: this morning. We're looking at two hundred and fifty to
3:44
Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy five billion dollars in damages. That's
3:47
Speaker 3: from damages, lost wages, supply chain disruptions, sort of the
3:51
Speaker 3: whole package. But that's that's a lot of money.
3:54
Speaker 2: That would place this at I mean, correct me if
3:57
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, it would be the in terms of the cost,
4:00
Speaker 2: the worst natural disaster in history in the US history.
4:04
Speaker 2: I suspect it could be.
4:06
Speaker 3: I haven't seen a ranking on that, but certainly it's
4:08
Speaker 3: going to be up there. This is a this is
4:10
Speaker 3: a big fire, and we're not done yet. I mean,
4:12
Speaker 3: the two main fires are the Palisades Fire and the
4:15
Speaker 3: Eaten Fire. Palisades is about fourteen percent contained. Eton is
4:20
Speaker 3: about thirty something percent contained.
4:24
Speaker 2: Okay, what does that mean?
4:26
Speaker 3: Like fourteen percent contained?
4:29
Speaker 2: Does that mean that.
4:31
Speaker 5: It's likely to just continue to keep spreading? Like what
4:34
Speaker 5: is the definition of a contained fire?
4:39
Speaker 7: You know what?
4:39
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what it means, but it certainly
4:42
Speaker 3: means that they are not even close to under control
4:45
Speaker 3: yet They're probably going to get bigger.
4:49
Speaker 2: That's the economic toll the damage is. There's also a
4:53
Speaker 2: psychological aspect of it. You know people out there, you're
4:56
Speaker 2: from that area, I do what's going through their minds.
5:00
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you about my aunt because I was
5:02
Speaker 3: texting with her yesterday. Her house is about two and
5:05
Speaker 3: a half blocks from the front lines of the Eton
5:08
Speaker 3: Fire in North Pasadena. She evacuated a week ago last
5:11
Speaker 3: Tuesday night. She was allowed to go home briefly to
5:15
Speaker 3: pick up some stuff over the weekend, but she is
5:17
Speaker 3: just really rattled. It looks like her house might be safe,
5:23
Speaker 3: at least from what I've been looking at today. It
5:24
Speaker 3: hasn't encroached on it anymore in the past several days,
5:28
Speaker 3: and I hope that stays true. But if she loses
5:31
Speaker 3: her house, it's going to be really serious for her.
5:34
Speaker 2: And this is an area where it's just like you
5:36
Speaker 2: grow up, you live there, and then the landscape just
5:39
Speaker 2: like in a few days, completely changes. That's going to
5:42
Speaker 2: have a tremendous impact on your psyche.
5:45
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean I know this area. I was
5:48
Speaker 3: there last summer. My mom texted me last week, She's like,
5:51
Speaker 3: remember that place we went for brunch last June when
5:53
Speaker 3: you were here. Yeah, it's gone.
5:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, even the I've seen photos of some houses on
5:59
Speaker 5: blocks are the one house left standing, which, in that sense,
6:03
Speaker 5: I guess you can feel lucky if that was your house.
6:06
Speaker 5: But then what happens Then you move back into your
6:09
Speaker 5: house and all your neighbors are gone, and then you're
6:11
Speaker 5: just on an empty block.
6:13
Speaker 3: I mean that's devastating. I would think that would really
6:16
Speaker 3: be hard to live there, just to look around at
6:19
Speaker 3: the community that you used to know, and now it's gone,
6:22
Speaker 3: and it'll rebuild, but it'll be different.
6:26
Speaker 2: What is your sense of what has to happen in
6:29
Speaker 2: terms of rebuilding and what happens in the future. I mean,
6:33
Speaker 2: can you really make your house and your property fire proof?
6:37
Speaker 3: I mean, you can build it out of concrete. But
6:41
Speaker 3: the thing is, I've been writing about climate change for
6:44
Speaker 3: years and it just gets worse and people more people
6:48
Speaker 3: talk about it now, but we still need to see
6:51
Speaker 3: behavioral changes. There are places that are no longer as
6:56
Speaker 3: safe as they used to be.
6:58
Speaker 2: Well, I mean behavioral changes in terms of what.
7:01
Speaker 3: In terms of thinking should I live here? Should I
7:03
Speaker 3: not live here? You know, there's a lot of coastal
7:06
Speaker 3: communities that are you know, the local agencies are saying
7:10
Speaker 3: we're not going to pay to keep rebuilding the roads
7:13
Speaker 3: when the oceans overturn it every summer, and you're going
7:17
Speaker 3: to have to think about how you want to live there.
7:19
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you know, we should all move to Vermont. Oh,
7:22
Speaker 2: but wait, part of it was washed out because of
7:25
Speaker 2: the heavy rains. Maybe I should move to Florida. But oh,
7:28
Speaker 2: I'm going to get hit with you know, where'd he go?
7:30
Speaker 2: What's safe?
7:31
Speaker 4: Now?
7:32
Speaker 3: I wish I had a better answer for you. What
7:34
Speaker 3: I know is that climate change is real and it's
7:37
Speaker 3: a bigger threat than it ever was.
7:39
Speaker 2: Do you get a lot of pushback when you say
7:41
Speaker 2: something like that.
7:42
Speaker 3: Sometimes when I talk to my relatives in the South.
7:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, always a pleasure. Thanks Will Wait, Bloomberg Energy
7:50
Speaker 2: and Climate Reporter, the Los Angeles wildfires.
7:55
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast. Catch the program
7:59
Speaker 1: lives a ten am Eastern on Apple, Cocklay and Android
8:02
Speaker 1: Auto with the Bloomberg Business App. You can also listen
8:05
Speaker 1: live on Amazon Alexa from our flagship New York station.
8:09
Speaker 1: Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty Tech.
8:13
Speaker 2: Heavy NASDAK down another one percent in today's trading. So
8:18
Speaker 2: what's next. Let's put that question to Kim Forrest, a
8:21
Speaker 2: founder at thee Cio Boca Capital Partners. It's kind of
8:26
Speaker 2: safe to describe you as something of a tech geek
8:30
Speaker 2: considering your background. What's on your Bingo card right now?
8:35
Speaker 8: Sure, well, let's just make a mixed metaphor here my
8:40
Speaker 8: Bingo card, and I was a software engineer. I became
8:44
Speaker 8: a cell side analyst that followed computer company.
8:48
Speaker 2: I didn't mean that as a pejorative, but you know,
8:51
Speaker 2: I know, no.
8:52
Speaker 6: No nervous like a good thing.
8:54
Speaker 8: Man, I love it, okay, But anyhow, just giving people background,
8:58
Speaker 8: and so I do look at tech and tech you
9:01
Speaker 8: know it drove the market. Actually, one company really drove
9:04
Speaker 8: the market last year. I was looking at some statistics.
9:07
Speaker 8: Do you know that the S and P five hundred
9:08
Speaker 8: is fifteen percent in Vidia?
9:10
Speaker 6: Holy cow? How'd that get to be there?
9:12
Speaker 8: Well, because in Vidia grew, right, But going to is
9:16
Speaker 8: in Vidia going to grow this year?
9:18
Speaker 6: Probably a little.
9:19
Speaker 8: Bit, but not like it did in twenty three for sure,
9:22
Speaker 8: and maybe not as it did in twenty four. So
9:27
Speaker 8: but should you throw out tech? I don't think so.
9:29
Speaker 8: I think there's a lot of smaller companies and probably
9:33
Speaker 8: companies that you don't think are in the bullseye of.
9:36
Speaker 6: AI that you could take a look at.
9:38
Speaker 8: So that's what I do if you are a tech investor,
9:42
Speaker 8: But I'd also be very, very concerned about what's happening
9:46
Speaker 8: in bonds. And you don't expect a computer person or
9:49
Speaker 8: a software person to be concerned with that. But it
9:52
Speaker 8: really will affect the market if bond rates go higher
9:56
Speaker 8: from here.
9:58
Speaker 2: Because the text in particular depend on future earnings and
10:03
Speaker 2: yields are going to put it into that party pretty quickly.
10:07
Speaker 8: I suppose, yes, yes, I would love to be able
10:10
Speaker 8: to escape you know, math and math modeling, but it
10:13
Speaker 8: really does limit earnings whenever, you know, rates go up.
10:18
Speaker 8: It is the thing that the tenure is the number
10:22
Speaker 8: that everybody discounts forward cash flows at. So the higher
10:27
Speaker 8: that goes, the lower multiple that you can expect. Is
10:31
Speaker 8: it really that easy?
10:32
Speaker 9: Sadly it is, okay, But you know, I'm just trying
10:38
Speaker 9: to think about years where you know, in the last
10:42
Speaker 9: maybe two years or so, there was a lot of
10:45
Speaker 9: talk about higher rates and how that was going to
10:48
Speaker 9: dent textocs and it hasn't yet.
10:51
Speaker 5: I'm wondering if something has changed now that we're in
10:55
Speaker 5: what could be I guess a good news for the
10:57
Speaker 5: economy means bad news for textiles because rates are higher
11:01
Speaker 5: because you know, we were kind of saying that last
11:03
Speaker 5: year and it didn't actually play out that way.
11:08
Speaker 8: Right, And I agree with you one hundred percent that
11:11
Speaker 8: things change and we should never ever just accept like
11:16
Speaker 8: those old sayings of Wall Street because every year is different.
11:20
Speaker 8: We have different investors, we have different companies, we have
11:23
Speaker 8: a different rate environment. There's so much going on. So
11:27
Speaker 8: at the basis I agree with you on that. I
11:29
Speaker 8: believe if you would have taken out the Magnificent seven,
11:33
Speaker 8: which are all growing well mostly you know, we'll kick
11:37
Speaker 8: out Netflix and Apple are mostly growing on AI, right,
11:41
Speaker 8: the theory that AI is going to drive these things
11:45
Speaker 8: higher in perpetuity.
11:47
Speaker 6: I think most of tech was down.
11:49
Speaker 8: And remember tech spending used to equal business it spending,
11:54
Speaker 8: so that's where the higher rates kind of come into play.
11:57
Speaker 8: It was businesses are not going to spend on it,
12:01
Speaker 8: and you know, because they're going to pull back and
12:03
Speaker 8: just not build for the future. So that's kind of
12:07
Speaker 8: one driver there. But I also think in Nvidia has
12:10
Speaker 8: had such an outweighed emphasis on the market on tech
12:15
Speaker 8: and specifically for the last two years. If you go
12:18
Speaker 8: and look at their quarterly earnings and just look at
12:21
Speaker 8: the revenue. That tells you the entire reason why everybody
12:24
Speaker 8: has piled into in Vidia and why it became, you know,
12:28
Speaker 8: a less than trillion dollar company surely and now the
12:31
Speaker 8: biggest company in the S and P five hundred right
12:35
Speaker 8: by market waiting and.
12:39
Speaker 6: Price.
12:40
Speaker 8: So it's been a completely outsized move because it had
12:44
Speaker 8: a completely outside moved in its revenues.
12:48
Speaker 2: Okay, so what's a spending going to look like from
12:52
Speaker 2: here on out?
12:53
Speaker 6: Right? Well, you get you get a kind of a picture.
12:56
Speaker 8: Looking at Microsoft, they say they're going to They said
12:58
Speaker 8: they're going to spend eighty billion dollars this year, this
13:01
Speaker 8: fiscal year. I think it was JP Morgan did a
13:04
Speaker 8: quick assessment on how much Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft
13:09
Speaker 8: is spent. It looks like Microsoft was on track to
13:12
Speaker 8: spend about eighty billion dollars last year because they did
13:15
Speaker 8: it from January to August, and I just annualized, you know,
13:19
Speaker 8: whatever the run rate was, So that brings us to
13:21
Speaker 8: eighty billion. Now, let's not sneeze at eighty billion dollars.
13:26
Speaker 8: That's a lot of money, but it's going from eighty
13:29
Speaker 8: seventy eight billion in twenty twenty four to eighty billion.
13:32
Speaker 8: So I don't know that the big spenders in AI
13:38
Speaker 8: are going to increase like they did in the last
13:41
Speaker 8: couple of years again because they could. Right they were
13:44
Speaker 8: spending zero on it and now they're spending a lot
13:47
Speaker 8: on it. But I don't know that they're going to
13:49
Speaker 8: double it again.
13:51
Speaker 2: Kim boys your pleasure. Thanks for being here. I appreciate it.

14:14
Speaker 10: Matt Miller here sitting in for Alex Emily Graffeo sitting
14:18
Speaker 10: in for Paul Sweeney on a day when the markets
14:22
Speaker 10: are down again. I looked this morning at the open, Emily,
14:26
Speaker 10: we were looking at fifty seven eighty two on the
14:29
Speaker 10: S and P five hundred. You know what's interesting, that's
14:32
Speaker 10: exactly the closing level on November fifth, really, yes, the
14:37
Speaker 10: day of the US election. After that, of course we
14:40
Speaker 10: rallied higher. I think we were in the fifty nine
14:45
Speaker 10: hundreds already by the morning the open of November sixth,
14:49
Speaker 10: but we've erased all of those games and then some
14:53
Speaker 10: since we knew that Donald Trump won the presidential election
14:56
Speaker 10: on November fifth. We were also at four twenty five
14:59
Speaker 10: on the ten year yield back on November fifth, and
15:02
Speaker 10: now we're looking at four seventy seven, So for actually no.
15:07
Speaker 10: Four seventy nine to sixty four right now on the
15:10
Speaker 10: ten year yield, so we're up a solid sixty five
15:16
Speaker 10: points from our fifty five points from there. The Bloomberg
15:19
Speaker 10: Dollar Index also much higher right now at thirteenenty twenty two.
15:24
Speaker 10: We were closer to twelve twenty back on November fifth.
15:28
Speaker 10: So we've seen all the wrong assets rise in terms
15:33
Speaker 10: of I guess bond yields, and the dollar in the
15:35
Speaker 10: right ones fall in terms of the stocks.
15:37
Speaker 7: I want to bring in Guarev Moleague to.
15:39
Speaker 10: Talk a little bit about this, chief investment officer over
15:42
Speaker 10: at Palace Capital Advisors. Does this repricing make sense to you, Guarrev.
15:50
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that it makes sense.
15:51
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's hard to make much sense of
15:53
Speaker 4: the markets these days, with a lot being driven by sentiment.
15:57
Speaker 4: I think if you look at fundamentals from our standpoint
15:59
Speaker 4: from November five till now, in terms of actually what
16:02
Speaker 4: has occurred, nothing much has changed. I think we still
16:05
Speaker 4: expect that we're going to see a pretty solid Q
16:08
Speaker 4: four earning season. We remain excited about earnings for twenty
16:12
Speaker 4: twenty five. I think the places where most investors taking
16:16
Speaker 4: pause is really what's the action the incoming Trim administration
16:20
Speaker 4: is going to take on the policy front. So in
16:22
Speaker 4: some areas, I would say, yeah, a bit of a
16:24
Speaker 4: surprise to see the uprally and then the downtrended markets.
16:26
Speaker 4: But from a fundamental standpoint, I think for stocks and earnings,
16:30
Speaker 4: we haven't seen much change.
16:31
Speaker 5: So even after Friday's jobs report and the moves that
16:36
Speaker 5: we've seen in treasury rates, you're still optimistic and it
16:40
Speaker 5: sounds like on the outlook for stocks for twenty twenty
16:43
Speaker 5: five we are.
16:45
Speaker 4: I think that, you know, as we look at the
16:47
Speaker 4: fundamental drivers, which from a macro level we think about
16:51
Speaker 4: what's going to occur with GDP growth, I think that
16:54
Speaker 4: looks pretty solid when we think about company's own projections,
16:58
Speaker 4: and again as we get through Q four, see some
17:00
Speaker 4: will get a sense of how they're advising as we
17:02
Speaker 4: look at twenty twenty five, but again, expectation of about
17:06
Speaker 4: five to six percent revenue growth. Margins for the S
17:09
Speaker 4: and P are at all time highs, which justifies, frankly,
17:13
Speaker 4: the multiple we're seeing at twenty one. So many things
17:16
Speaker 4: I would say that don't worry us too much. I
17:19
Speaker 4: think yes, on inflation and yields, A bit more surprised
17:26
Speaker 4: on that front since November. I mean again, you know,
17:29
Speaker 4: but the market has been so volatile with incoming macro
17:32
Speaker 4: data that you know, in the morning, I was talking
17:35
Speaker 4: with our investment team. We're talking about what's the projection
17:37
Speaker 4: for the end of the year, and I said, you know,
17:38
Speaker 4: I'm just nervous about making a projection because the economic
17:42
Speaker 4: data that has been coming in and bond voltarty, frankly,
17:44
Speaker 4: has been in so high.
17:46
Speaker 5: What about if we were to get I'm not making
17:49
Speaker 5: a prediction here, but a FED hike, because when you
17:53
Speaker 5: look at to your yields, that is certainly what some
17:56
Speaker 5: bond investors are expecting to come. Do we need a
18:01
Speaker 5: cut for your kind of optimistic view to continue to
18:05
Speaker 5: play out, or if we were to get a hike,
18:09
Speaker 5: could we still see stock staying resilient?
18:12
Speaker 4: So hike seems something that would shock markets frankly, right,
18:16
Speaker 4: So now you're talking about a slightly different way to
18:19
Speaker 4: view that situation. That would indicate to us that the
18:21
Speaker 4: fact doesn't know what they're doing. Right so far, they
18:24
Speaker 4: mean guiding us towards this fact that, Okay, we think
18:27
Speaker 4: infation is going to be under control. Now again that's
18:29
Speaker 4: been pushed off a little bit. Perhaps we're expecting a
18:31
Speaker 4: two percent number would have showed up by twenty twenty five,
18:34
Speaker 4: and I think that's looking more like twenty twenty six expectations.
18:37
Speaker 4: But direction is indicating that they're still in a mode
18:41
Speaker 4: where monetary policy is tight and they're going to keep
18:43
Speaker 4: it at that level. So a change in direction on
18:47
Speaker 4: that side to say we're going to certainly start doing
18:50
Speaker 4: hikes to tighten it even more, I think that would
18:53
Speaker 4: send a signal marketplace the fact doesn't know what it's doing,
18:55
Speaker 4: and then you're looking certainly at a spiraling effect on
18:59
Speaker 4: stock market.
19:00
Speaker 2: So I think that would be very concerning.
19:02
Speaker 10: So, I mean, we get a couple of data points
19:04
Speaker 10: over the next couple of days that are going to
19:07
Speaker 10: mean a lot to the Federal Reserve, at least they
19:09
Speaker 10: mean a lot to how markets forecast what the Fed
19:12
Speaker 10: is going to do. We get PPI tomorrow and we're
19:16
Speaker 10: looking for three point eight percent on the core year
19:19
Speaker 10: over year. It's pretty high, right, And we get CPI
19:23
Speaker 10: on Wednesday and there we're still looking for three point
19:26
Speaker 10: three percent.
19:28
Speaker 7: On the core number year over year.
19:30
Speaker 10: The Fed wants these numbers to be two, so they're
19:33
Speaker 10: still pretty far away. Don't rates need to be restrictive.
19:40
Speaker 4: Rates do need to be restrictive, But again, you know,
19:42
Speaker 4: when you think about the lagged effect of policy changes,
19:46
Speaker 4: both on the up and the down, still maintaining rates
19:50
Speaker 4: at a four point two five four point five handle
19:53
Speaker 4: for the Fed is still tight.
19:55
Speaker 2: So maybe that isn't room for one more.
19:57
Speaker 4: Rate thought, which clearly market is also icing in at
20:01
Speaker 4: most one rate cutting out of the end of the year.
20:03
Speaker 3: I think that's still in restrictive territory.
20:06
Speaker 2: Now.
20:07
Speaker 4: The inflation picture is also sort of clouded by the
20:10
Speaker 4: fact that there's a huge difference between what's occurring on
20:12
Speaker 4: the services side and on the good side. You know,
20:14
Speaker 4: on the good side, we're saying disinflation. We're seeing disinflation
20:18
Speaker 4: occurring in most of the post of the world. On
20:19
Speaker 4: the good side, right, that's going to flow through to
20:22
Speaker 4: some extent, again, notwithstanding what's the bard that trumped regetation
20:25
Speaker 4: takes on datifs. But again that's an effect that is disinflationary.
20:30
Speaker 4: So the real question that leaves us where there is
20:32
Speaker 4: what's going to court on the services side. And I
20:34
Speaker 4: think at a four point two five four point five
20:38
Speaker 4: level policy is restrictive enough that we will see a
20:41
Speaker 4: lack of effect showed through in inflation numbers. Now again,
20:44
Speaker 4: not to say that we'll get to just retrading the
20:46
Speaker 4: fact that, not to say we'll get to a two
20:48
Speaker 4: handle in twenty twenty five, I think that's not in
20:50
Speaker 4: the cards, that we don't see that occurring, but I
20:52
Speaker 4: think it gives us some confidence to say that two
20:54
Speaker 4: is a number that's possible when you look out at
20:57
Speaker 4: the end of twenty twenty six.
