- 0:23Speaker 2: Boeing is John Tucker is just reporting.
- 0:25Speaker 3: It looks like the leaders of the union and Boeing
- 0:27Speaker 3: they have an agreement. I think this is the third
- 0:29Speaker 3: agreement they're going to bring to the rank and file,
- 0:32Speaker 3: and let's see if the rank and file approves it,
- 0:34Speaker 3: because they've turned down the last two.
- 0:36Speaker 2: But it's thirty percent for four years and bonuses.
- 0:38Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 0:38Speaker 3: It sounds pretty good to me. Let's check it out
- 0:40Speaker 3: with Thomas Black. He's a Bloomberg opinion Columnisty covers logistics, manufacturing, aerospace. Thomas,
- 0:46Speaker 3: it seems like a good deal to me. But what
- 0:48Speaker 3: do I know what's going on here with Boeing in
- 0:50Speaker 3: their union these days.
- 0:52Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks like a quite a rich deal.
- 0:55Speaker 6: We'll see if the workers want to take it. They
- 0:58Speaker 6: they started out with a nominal twenty five percent rays
- 1:03Speaker 6: offer and it's now the thirty eight percent.
- 1:06Speaker 5: But if you compound that, which is how.
- 1:08Speaker 6: You should do it, it's a forty four percent raise
- 1:12Speaker 6: over four years.
- 1:13Speaker 5: So that's pretty chunky.
- 1:15Speaker 7: I mean, when we think about these negotiations back and forth,
- 1:18Speaker 7: does this seem to be lengthy? I mean, I'm thinking
- 1:20Speaker 7: back to the writer's strike that went on for some time,
- 1:23Speaker 7: and you have to really hit a middle place to
- 1:25Speaker 7: where everyone's coming to a compromise. How do we think
- 1:28Speaker 7: about this with Boeing moving forward and getting production back
- 1:30Speaker 7: to what it is looking for.
- 1:33Speaker 6: Well, the workers have all the power right now. They
- 1:38Speaker 6: really do have quite a bit of leverage, and that's
- 1:40Speaker 6: why Boeing has taken so much time trying to settle this.
- 1:45Speaker 6: The Boeing is in bad shape financially, they're losing money.
- 1:49Speaker 6: They have customers who are climbering for aircraft. They have
- 1:52Speaker 6: suppliers who are trying to figure out production schedules so
- 1:56Speaker 6: that they can ramp up their production. So Boeing really
- 2:01Speaker 6: needs to get its plants started. So the workers know
- 2:04Speaker 6: this and that's why they've been holding out. And they've
- 2:07Speaker 6: got a deal on the table. Let's see if they
- 2:08Speaker 6: take it. If they don't, I think there's a little
- 2:11Speaker 6: bit of an anger issue maybe there, Maybe the workers
- 2:15Speaker 6: want to lash out at the company because ten years
- 2:18Speaker 6: ago they did get a raw deal from the company
- 2:20Speaker 6: when it had the upper hand.
- 2:21Speaker 5: So the tables have turned.
- 2:23Speaker 6: But now we're going to see Monday if they're going
- 2:25Speaker 6: to accept this deal and get production cranking up.
- 2:28Speaker 3: So, Thomas, when you talk to people kind of within
- 2:30Speaker 3: the process on both sides here, what's the feeling. I
- 2:34Speaker 3: mean at the end of the day, is that it
- 2:36Speaker 3: just a numbers thing.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Is it thirty eight percent? No, I want forty two percent?
- 2:40Speaker 3: Or is there other issues that are out there that
- 2:42Speaker 3: are challenging here, because it's surprising that they haven't that
- 2:46Speaker 3: they I guess that it's surprising that the negotiations has
- 2:48Speaker 3: been so difficult.
- 2:49Speaker 2: What do you think they're looking for?
- 2:51Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the workers really wanted to reinstate their
- 2:54Speaker 6: defined benefit pension plan, which again ten years ago that
- 2:59Speaker 6: was taken away from them. As you know, those plans
- 3:03Speaker 6: have been declining over the decades. There are very few
- 3:07Speaker 6: out there right where you get a certain monthly retirement
- 3:12Speaker 6: stipen and that lasts for the rest of your life.
- 3:15Speaker 6: It's now all the four to one K savings plan.
- 3:17Speaker 6: So they were really trying to bring that back, which
- 3:21Speaker 6: would be unprecedented. This deal does not do that. So
- 3:25Speaker 6: we'll see if the pay ray was enough. And there's
- 3:28Speaker 6: also a twelve thousand dollars signing bonus to sweeten the deals.
- 3:33Speaker 6: So we'll just see if the workers are willing to
- 3:35Speaker 6: accept this.
- 3:36Speaker 7: As you know in your story, there's not one, but
- 3:39Speaker 7: two issues. Of course, you have the strike here, but additionally,
- 3:42Speaker 7: on the other end, we have to talk about this
- 3:44Speaker 7: fragile supply chain environment for the company. When you're talking
- 3:48Speaker 7: to sources and just research more broadly, what does it
- 3:51Speaker 7: seem as though it will be the next thing to
- 3:53Speaker 7: push Boeing forward? I mean this is still a lingering
- 3:56Speaker 7: issue for them.
- 3:58Speaker 5: Yeah, well, they Boeing has all kinds of problems in
- 4:01Speaker 5: its factory floor. They've had quality issues, They've had work
- 4:06Speaker 5: coming in at different stages that's got them out of sequence,
- 4:11Speaker 5: and that's caused all kinds of problems. They've had supplier
- 4:14Speaker 5: quality issues, so that they've got some real problems to tackle.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Now this is really just the first step is to
- 4:19Speaker 5: get workers back in the factories. Number one issue for
- 4:25Speaker 5: Kelly Orkberg, the CEO at Boeing, is to heal the
- 4:27Speaker 5: rift with the employers.
- 4:29Speaker 6: They have to get them on board and really change
- 4:32Speaker 6: the culture on the factory floor so that they're making
- 4:35Speaker 6: those quality planes and very efficiently.
- 4:38Speaker 5: On the other side, it's the suppliers. The suppliers have
- 4:42Speaker 5: been whiplashed quite a bit.
- 4:43Speaker 6: It was the pandemic that hurt them, and then we
- 4:45Speaker 6: had the Max grounding because of the fatal crashes there,
- 4:49Speaker 6: and we had problems with the seven eighty seven aircraft
- 4:52Speaker 6: that was grounded for a while, so they've really had
- 4:56Speaker 6: they haven't been able to just produce regularly. They've had
- 5:00Speaker 6: at all kinds of on and off situations with Boeing,
- 5:03Speaker 6: so that healing that supplier base is key as well too.
- 5:07Speaker 6: So the good thing about Boeing is that they don't
- 5:10Speaker 6: have to worry about the customers.
- 5:12Speaker 5: The customers want the planes. The planes are on order,
- 5:15Speaker 5: they have a massive backlog.
- 5:17Speaker 6: They really just need to get their production up and
- 5:20Speaker 6: ramp it up and show the regulators the FAA that
- 5:25Speaker 6: they can make quality planes and then they'll be in
- 5:28Speaker 6: good shape, all right.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Thomas Black, thank you so much for joining us.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Thomas Blanky's a Columnstrom Bloomberg opinion covering all the logistics stuff,
- 5:35Speaker 3: talking about Boeing.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Here.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Now you're listening to the Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast. Catch us
- 5:41Speaker 1: live weekdays at ten am Eastern on applecar Play and
- 5:45Speaker 1: Android Auto with the Bloomberg Business app. You can also
- 5:48Speaker 1: listen live on Amazon Alexa from our flagship New York station.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Just say Alexa Play Bloomberg eleven thirty.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Let's get back to the economic data of the day.
- 5:58Speaker 3: That's the jobs number came in with With the next
- 6:00Speaker 3: A lot of folks said they get ready for that.
- 6:02Speaker 2: It was to be.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Expected with hurricanes and strikes and all that kind of stuff.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Let's check in with an expert here, Jenny Biley. She's
- 6:07Speaker 3: a division president at Employe Bridge. Jenny, what did you
- 6:10Speaker 3: take out of the labor number today?
- 6:13Speaker 8: Yeah, this was a tough report. Certainly, I kind of
- 6:18Speaker 8: will refer to it a little bit as maybe this
- 6:20Speaker 8: was the October surprise that everyone was always waiting for.
- 6:24Speaker 8: But we know that many of these job cuts, you
- 6:28Speaker 8: know that are happening. A lot of it came from
- 6:30Speaker 8: the impacts of the hurricane and the strikes. However, most
- 6:35Speaker 8: of the job growth that we've discussed this before on
- 6:37Speaker 8: your program, most of the job growth is really coming
- 6:41Speaker 8: from the government sector and the healthcare sector. So if
- 6:45Speaker 8: you look at this private number, we actually lost jobs.
- 6:50Speaker 8: If you back out the government gain of forty thousand,
- 6:54Speaker 8: we would have lost jobs. A private sector would have
- 6:56Speaker 8: lost twenty eight thousand. So this this is a concerning report.
- 7:01Speaker 8: Even with the hurricane and even with the strikes. You know,
- 7:05Speaker 8: across the board, many of the sectors are really losing jobs,
- 7:11Speaker 8: and especially you know, that manufacturing number had a loss
- 7:17Speaker 8: of I believe forty six thousand jobs. And then the
- 7:20Speaker 8: sector that I'm in, the temporary help sector, lost almost
- 7:25Speaker 8: fifty thousand jobs, and so that is concerning as well.
- 7:30Speaker 8: You can see that companies are still very cautious to hire,
- 7:34Speaker 8: and they're letting their temporary workers, you know, go first
- 7:38Speaker 8: as they try to hold on to their permanent payrolls
- 7:42Speaker 8: and permanent employees.
- 7:44Speaker 7: I mean, we're just under a week away from the
- 7:46Speaker 7: next FED meeting, and of course this is going to
- 7:48Speaker 7: be some data that the Federal Reserve will be parsing.
- 7:51Speaker 7: How should we be thinking about this in the context
- 7:53Speaker 7: of the rate cut environment and what trajectory could look
- 7:56Speaker 7: like at this next meeting and beyond, well, you.
- 7:59Speaker 8: Know, I think the Fed will really dig into this
- 8:02Speaker 8: report because it's not just the October numbers that look
- 8:07Speaker 8: so soft, but they also went back and revised the
- 8:11Speaker 8: prior two months downward and took another one hundred and
- 8:15Speaker 8: twelve thousand jobs out of the job market. So I
- 8:20Speaker 8: think the FED will be looking at this report and saying,
- 8:23Speaker 8: you know, the job the job market is not as
- 8:26Speaker 8: strong as maybe we thought it was, and we are
- 8:30Speaker 8: starting to see even though wages are still up, I
- 8:33Speaker 8: can tell you wages are starting to soften. They're certainly
- 8:38Speaker 8: not keeping up, you know, with inflationary costs. So I
- 8:42Speaker 8: do believe that the FED will look at this report
- 8:46Speaker 8: and look at these numbers and what's happening with unemployment,
- 8:49Speaker 8: the participation rate, where the job growth is coming from,
- 8:54Speaker 8: and realized that, you know, this is this is a
- 8:57Speaker 8: bit of a challenging job market. And in other reports too,
- 9:01Speaker 8: we are seeing, you know, increase in layoffs and many sectors,
- 9:06Speaker 8: I know, the challenger in Gray report came out and
- 9:09Speaker 8: again showed, you know that layoffs continue to happen. So
- 9:13Speaker 8: there are certainly some concerns out there in this in
- 9:16Speaker 8: this job market JO just.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Thirty seconds left here, the wage inflation or the wage
- 9:23Speaker 3: four percent seems pretty solid to me, but you see
- 9:25Speaker 3: some a little bit of concern out there.
- 9:27Speaker 4: I do.
- 9:28Speaker 8: I think employers have you know, been increasing wages really
- 9:32Speaker 8: for quite a few years, and at this point, with
- 9:37Speaker 8: where the job market is, I think that that's going
- 9:39Speaker 8: to just flatten off. That's what we're hearing from employers,
- 9:44Speaker 8: you know, large employers, mid size employers, they're really watching
- 9:49Speaker 8: their labor costs and they're having to be more conservative.
- 9:52Speaker 3: Johnny, thank you so much for joining us. We always
- 9:54Speaker 3: appreciate chatting with you on these important jobs days. Joinny Biley.
- 9:57Speaker 3: She's a chief workforce analyst at employee Bridge, joining us
- 10:02Speaker 3: via zoom here again, the nonfarm payroll came in at
- 10:05Speaker 3: twelve thousand. The consensus essmenate was for one hundred thousand.
- 10:09Speaker 3: Last month was two hundred and fifty four thousand. A
- 10:11Speaker 3: lot of economs to say, you know, there's hurricane effects,
- 10:13Speaker 3: there's layoff effects, so got to take that into account.
- 10:18Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast. Catch us live
- 10:22Speaker 1: weekdays at ten am Eastern on AFO, card playing and

- 10:32Speaker 3: Let's stay on the labor front here and get a
- 10:36Speaker 3: sense of kind of where we are in terms of DEI.
- 10:39Speaker 7: Diversity, equity and inclusion.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Equity and inclusion.
- 10:43Speaker 3: Thank you very much. It seems I'm not sure it's
- 10:46Speaker 3: waxing or waning, and some companies are backing away from it.
- 10:49Speaker 3: Someone companies continue to lean into it. Alan Schwyer joins us.
- 10:52Speaker 3: He is a principal researcher of human capital at the
- 10:54Speaker 3: Conference Board.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Alan, thanks so much for joining us here.
- 10:57Speaker 3: As we think about DEI, we've seen some fairly high profile,
- 11:01Speaker 3: publicly traded companies kind of back away a little bit
- 11:04Speaker 3: from that. Can you give us a sense kind of
- 11:05Speaker 3: where we are on diversity, equity and inclusion in corporate America?
- 11:10Speaker 9: Yeah, sure, you know, I think there are a lot
- 11:13Speaker 9: of reports of organizations moving away from DEI or backing off,
- 11:18Speaker 9: if not canceling DEI, but they're they're very much the minority.
- 11:22Speaker 9: Our research over the past year and those that of
- 11:25Speaker 9: others really shows that about eighty to ninety percent of
- 11:29Speaker 9: organizations are holding the course or expanding their DEI programs.
- 11:34Speaker 9: So we think it's maybe gets a little more attention
- 11:37Speaker 9: when when someone you know quits their d I programs,
- 11:41Speaker 9: but the great majority are holding firm.
- 11:44Speaker 7: I mean, what have been the effects? I mean, of course,
- 11:46Speaker 7: we know last year the Supreme Court did reverse affirmative action.
- 11:49Speaker 7: The ruling there has that had an impact at all
- 11:51Speaker 7: when we think about hiring in the corporate America space.
- 11:55Speaker 9: Yeah, it has. You know, technically the Supreme Court ruling
- 11:59Speaker 9: because this IDOL six does not have an impact on
- 12:02Speaker 9: the workforce, but we know that it has a chilling
- 12:05Speaker 9: effect on DEI programs. In fact, our most recent research
- 12:09Speaker 9: shows that more than two thirds of executives say that
- 12:13Speaker 9: it is putting a negative having a negative effect on
- 12:16Speaker 9: their DEI programs. So yeah, I mean, the Supreme Court
- 12:20Speaker 9: decision has certainly made an impact.
- 12:25Speaker 3: What are you seeing from workers themselves? What are workers
- 12:28Speaker 3: looking for? Are they embracing DEI? Is this something they
- 12:31Speaker 3: feel has value within their workplace?
- 12:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:35Speaker 9: We just surveyed the US workforce. We had a big sample,
- 12:38Speaker 9: almost fourteen hundred workers, managers and up to the director level,
- 12:43Speaker 9: and workers are saying they want DEI. In fact, the
- 12:47Speaker 9: majorities say they would not work or would only reluctantly
- 12:50Speaker 9: work in an organization that does not take DEI seriously.
- 12:54Speaker 9: So that's a powerful signal, and it differs between groups
- 12:59Speaker 9: at work, but over all, the majority of workers do
- 13:03Speaker 9: want to see DEI initiatives and want to work in
- 13:05Speaker 9: diverse organizations, according to our research.
- 13:08Speaker 7: So from an investor perspective, of course, people are really
- 13:11Speaker 7: thinking about returns. Have there has there been any data
- 13:14Speaker 7: to show that this actually impacts returns from companies.
- 13:18Speaker 9: No, it's a good question, and it's very hard to
- 13:20Speaker 9: link DEI programs directly to financial incomes, but we know
- 13:24Speaker 9: that it does drive engagement. In fact, our survey respondents
- 13:28Speaker 9: tell us that it improves engagement, improves belonging, improves inclusion,
- 13:33Speaker 9: and improves retention. And if it does those things, then
- 13:37Speaker 9: you know, naturally there's a there's a link, but it's
- 13:39Speaker 9: not a direct link to financial performance.
- 13:44Speaker 3: So Dan, what's the Are there certain industries within corporate
- 13:48Speaker 3: America that are more on board with DEI versus maybe
- 13:52Speaker 3: some others.
- 13:53Speaker 9: Yeah, in this research, we found that the services sector
- 13:58Speaker 9: is you know, the responses from employees in the services
- 14:02Speaker 9: sector are certainly stronger than in the core manufacturing type
- 14:08Speaker 9: industries and not unexpected. But again, overall, the workers want
- 14:16Speaker 9: to see more D. But you're right in certain industries
- 14:19Speaker 9: there is a stronger preference for more DEI programs than
- 14:25Speaker 9: in others.
- 14:26Speaker 7: Can you also speak to particular age demographics. Is there
- 14:29Speaker 7: any difference in terms of which generations are embracing the push?
- 14:34Speaker 9: Yeah, and this is really important, I think too, because
- 14:38Speaker 9: I don't think anyone will be really surprised to hear
- 14:41Speaker 9: that the younger generations, millennials and Gen Z are more
- 14:46Speaker 9: in favor, more demand, more DEI expect more than older generations.
- 14:53Speaker 9: And we know that those generations will form sixty percent
- 14:56Speaker 9: or more of the workforce by twenty thirty. You know,
- 15:00Speaker 9: I may the same is true for women and minorities.
- 15:04Speaker 9: Women and minorities are already the majority of the workforce
- 15:08Speaker 9: and have much greater expectation in demand for D in
- 15:12Speaker 9: the workforce. So we think, you know, demographics are destiny.
- 15:16Speaker 9: This is happening very quickly. In an organization that really
- 15:19Speaker 9: actively resists this will probably struggle to survive, I mean,
- 15:23Speaker 9: from finding talent and even finding customers.
- 15:26Speaker 7: With about thirty seconds, I am looking at this story
- 15:28Speaker 7: that says Boeing dismantles DEI team as pressure builds on
- 15:31Speaker 7: the new CEO. Have you seen a shift of corporate
- 15:35Speaker 7: different companies actually push moving away from DEI and not
- 15:38Speaker 7: really seeing it as a priority.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:42Speaker 9: I think more are moving away from the terms. They
- 15:46Speaker 9: can be a lightning rod, and they're focusing on the
- 15:50Speaker 9: work more than the words.
- 15:52Speaker 10: For sure.
- 15:53Speaker 9: Some are backing away, you know, more comprehensively. Most are
- 15:58Speaker 9: changing how they describe it, continuing with the work.
- 16:01Speaker 3: All right, We'll see how it plays out. Certainly a
- 16:03Speaker 3: big part of the culture here at Bloomberg. Alan Schwier,

- 16:35Speaker 3: David Weady joins us. He's one of the reporters on
- 16:37Speaker 3: that story. He's an energy reporter for Bloomberg News. This
- 16:40Speaker 3: is our big take story, and we love the big
- 16:41Speaker 3: take stories on Bloomberg. Here, David, how is the oil
- 16:46Speaker 3: and gas industry becoming more productive at in the field.
- 16:51Speaker 11: Yeah, this was something that really surprised us in the
- 16:54Speaker 11: oil industry for how far it spanned beyond just the
- 16:57Speaker 11: industry itself into other parts of the ECONO. They're doing
- 17:00Speaker 11: it just through little ways.
- 17:02Speaker 2: You know.
- 17:03Speaker 11: Your first guess, you might think, oh, it's artificial intelligence
- 17:05Speaker 11: of what doing it, But really it's not even that
- 17:07Speaker 11: we've barely scratched the surface on using AI. It's just
- 17:10Speaker 11: a bunch of little things where on their own wouldn't
- 17:12Speaker 11: move the needle, but you add them all up and
- 17:14Speaker 11: it's making a big difference. It's little things like you know,
- 17:17Speaker 11: incentives to the workers to drill faster, you know, catered
- 17:21Speaker 11: barbecue lunches out of the rigsite, remodeling their living quarters.
- 17:25Speaker 11: It's drilling in a unique pattern in a U shape
- 17:28Speaker 11: where you couldn't figure out a way to get all
- 17:32Speaker 11: the rest of the oil out of the ground and
- 17:33Speaker 11: you have a small footprint. So instead what you do
- 17:35Speaker 11: is you drill down sideways and then you turn and
- 17:39Speaker 11: go one hundred degrees the other direction to capture the
- 17:41Speaker 11: rest of that oil. That was a concept that could
- 17:43Speaker 11: never even be thought about earlier in the years as
- 17:46Speaker 11: we just sort of kept playing around with ways to
- 17:49Speaker 11: drill underground. We figured out a way to do that
- 17:51Speaker 11: and to do it correctly. You know, it's also to
- 17:53Speaker 11: figure out how to frack two wells at one time,
- 17:57Speaker 11: and that not only reduces the friction in one well,
- 18:00Speaker 11: it saves on the manpower because you use one crew
- 18:03Speaker 11: to now complete two wills at the same time. So
- 18:06Speaker 11: it's all these little just sort of small efficiency gains
- 18:09Speaker 11: where it's allowed us to get a lot faster at
- 18:12Speaker 11: producing at less manpower. And what it really boils down
- 18:16Speaker 11: to is you've got about a third of the rigs
- 18:19Speaker 11: is which you've had ten years ago, and yet you've
- 18:21Speaker 11: got record production. So a dramatic decrease in the amount
- 18:24Speaker 11: of equipment and then the people to run them while
- 18:27Speaker 11: maintaining enormous amounts of output. And that's a lot of
- 18:30Speaker 11: the energy is free to surpass all of their sectors
- 18:32Speaker 11: in the economy.
- 18:34Speaker 7: So when we're thinking about productivity, of course, one thing
- 18:36Speaker 7: that you need to be thinking about is, you know,
- 18:38Speaker 7: governmental legislation that will support this. And I see here
- 18:41Speaker 7: in the piece you all speak a bit about you know,
- 18:43Speaker 7: this upcoming election. You say that Kamala Harris has repeatedly
- 18:48Speaker 7: said that she won't be fracking, which is a walk
- 18:50Speaker 7: back of comments that she made in twenty nineteen. How
- 18:52Speaker 7: much does the government and different policies play a role
- 18:56Speaker 7: in the ability for these companies to excel.
- 19:00Speaker 11: It's a good question because sometimes it can be misunderstood.
- 19:02Speaker 11: Chevron actually talked about it a little bit earlier, and
- 19:05Speaker 11: they're doing earnings this morning, and on some of the
- 19:07Speaker 11: different interviews, Mike Worth talked about how ultimately the US
- 19:11Speaker 11: shale is there and it's not really being restricted by
- 19:17Speaker 11: the US government. You know, people talk about whether you
- 19:20Speaker 11: can go on federal lands or not. Really where they're
- 19:22Speaker 11: doing a lot of the drilling is on private, independent
- 19:25Speaker 11: land that the US government does not own, So really
- 19:28Speaker 11: that's not very restrictive to these drillers. Where it kind
- 19:31Speaker 11: of comes down to more is permitting for things like pipelines.
- 19:34Speaker 11: So you drill, you produce, but you got to send
- 19:36Speaker 11: it off to market, you got to send it down
- 19:38Speaker 11: to the refineries, and so getting timely approvals for the
- 19:42Speaker 11: permits to build new pipelines to send more oil and
- 19:45Speaker 11: natural gas away from the oil fields is key. So
- 19:48Speaker 11: that's kind of one sticking point for policy on any
- 19:53Speaker 11: type of administration. Is where the oil industry is going
- 19:56Speaker 11: to care.
- 19:56Speaker 3: David, you're down there in Houston. That's you know, obviously
- 19:59Speaker 3: that the center the US energy business. What's the feeling
- 20:03Speaker 3: just a broadly define about the business of energy, because
- 20:07Speaker 3: you know, as recently as ten years ago, fifteen years ago,
- 20:09Speaker 3: they were talking about peak oil and all that kind
- 20:11Speaker 3: of stuff. I don't hear about that as much anymore.
- 20:14Speaker 11: Yeah, you don't really hear about it. I think partly
- 20:17Speaker 11: because there was this kind of you know, ESU movement
- 20:19Speaker 11: and you know, green energy technologies and let's try to
- 20:23Speaker 11: do both at the same time. And maybe kind of
- 20:26Speaker 11: you saw investors pivot away from investing in oil and gas,
- 20:29Speaker 11: and what it kind of led to was a decrease
- 20:33Speaker 11: in spending in oil and gas, and so you've had
- 20:38Speaker 11: less push to really grow supplies. So it's kind of
- 20:41Speaker 11: tightened the picture a little bit, and so there's sort
- 20:44Speaker 11: of less concern of maybe this thing is going away
- 20:48Speaker 11: and more about let's make sure we have enough supply
- 20:50Speaker 11: out there so the prices don't go crazy above one
- 20:53Speaker 11: hundred dollars a barrel and really sort of raise red
- 20:56Speaker 11: flags on the industry. So I think they're trying to
- 20:57Speaker 11: kind of fly below the radar and not too much
- 21:00Speaker 11: attention on energy prices that are too high, while still
- 21:04Speaker 11: trying to maximize profit and have high enough oil prices
- 21:07Speaker 11: that eclipse their sort of break even price and give
- 21:10Speaker 11: them a decent amount of profit. So I mean that
- 21:12Speaker 11: the mood around here is, you know, I think if
- 21:16Speaker 11: you're in the oil industry, you sort of feel like
- 21:19Speaker 11: you're not appreciated enough that the politicians don't you know,
- 21:22Speaker 11: appreciate you. But otherwise outside of the industry, it sort
- 21:26Speaker 11: of is a view of you know, it looks like
- 21:29Speaker 11: it's pretty healthy and still productive and profitable and growing.
- 21:34Speaker 7: I mean, as we think about just digging a bit
- 21:36Speaker 7: deeper into the ESG movement and where we are today,
- 21:40Speaker 7: as we think about ESG and just investor sentiments surrounding
- 21:43Speaker 7: this sector, have you seen it all pullback in backlash
- 21:46Speaker 7: in the space.
- 21:48Speaker 11: Yes, I think the backlash is diminished. I mean, there's
- 21:53Speaker 11: still going to be the environmental groups out there that
- 21:56Speaker 11: are raising concerns and you know, and we're hearing from them.
- 22:01Speaker 11: But I think that the broader you know, just push
- 22:06Speaker 11: to really kind of drive down this industry. I think
- 22:09Speaker 11: you're just seeing a lot less. It's sort of just
- 22:11Speaker 11: abated a little bit. And because I think the view
- 22:13Speaker 11: is we still need supplies for a while of oil
- 22:16Speaker 11: and natural gas, and you know, we can't have electricity
- 22:20Speaker 11: shortages even here in Texas of all places. So yeah,
- 22:23Speaker 11: it seems like it's kind of dialed back.
- 22:25Speaker 3: You've got your own grid. That's how you guys do
- 22:27Speaker 3: things down in Texas.
- 22:27Speaker 2: We understand that.
- 22:28Speaker 3: David Weady, he's an energy reporter for Bloomberg News and
- 22:31Speaker 3: he is based fittingly in Houston, Texas. Again, the story,
- 22:35Speaker 3: the Big Takes story, is about the productivity in the
- 22:39Speaker 3: oil business, the energy business, and thank John Tucker for
- 22:42Speaker 3: flagging that for us. That's our Big Take story today
- 22:44Speaker 3: on the Bloomberg triml where you can find at the
- 22:45Speaker 3: Bloomberg Turminal and on Bloomberg dot com slash Big Take.

- 23:10Speaker 3: Back to the marketsas John Tucker was just reporting strong
- 23:13Speaker 3: day in the equity markets. Here, let's break it down
- 23:15Speaker 3: a little bit with Sarah Ponzik. She's the first vice
- 23:17Speaker 3: president of wealth management at UBS Private Wealth Management.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Coming to us Life from.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Del Boca Vista in the Boca Raton, Florida area. Sarah,
- 23:25Speaker 3: thanks so much for joining us. A lot of earnings
- 23:27Speaker 3: this week, a lot of economic data this week. What
- 23:29Speaker 3: are you telling your clients these days as they finish
- 23:32Speaker 3: up the year and think about next year.
- 23:35Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a bit of a marathon between this
- 23:37Speaker 4: week and next week. Think about the amount of earnings
- 23:40Speaker 4: that we've received, not just from any companies, but the
- 23:42Speaker 4: largest companies in the stock market and in our economy.
- 23:45Speaker 4: Also some economic data. Of course, Jobs Day was today.
- 23:48Speaker 4: I know, I'm sure you've discussed it at length already.
- 23:52Speaker 4: Then we've got an election next week and the Federal Reserve,
- 23:54Speaker 4: so you know, we're going to just jam it in
- 23:57Speaker 4: to two weeks.
- 23:58Speaker 10: But at the end of the day, we're talking to clients,
- 24:02Speaker 10: you know, the picture really hasn't changed.
- 24:05Speaker 4: Yes, there's a lot of data, and to be sure,
- 24:09Speaker 4: the data's even messy as you know, you know, the
- 24:11Speaker 4: job zdata that we receive today is burdened by storms
- 24:15Speaker 4: and strikes, and the data itself is messy.
- 24:17Speaker 10: So when we look at the overall outlook going out from.
- 24:21Speaker 4: Here, nothing that we've seen over the past week, and
- 24:23Speaker 4: really nothing that we expect even next week changes the outlook,
- 24:27Speaker 4: which is still optimistic and positive from here.
- 24:30Speaker 7: So earning season, we just got some mixed reports from
- 24:32Speaker 7: these big tech names. I see that you're also keeping
- 24:34Speaker 7: an eye on the tech selloff. Talk to me about
- 24:37Speaker 7: what's going on there, especially given the fact that people
- 24:40Speaker 7: are really depending on this sector for the markets gains.
- 24:44Speaker 4: Right, we call it a tech selloff, But nowadays tech
- 24:47Speaker 4: sell offs are really just blips. You know, A couple
- 24:50Speaker 4: of percentage points is hardly anything when you look at
- 24:54Speaker 4: the run that we've seen in tech stocks this year
- 24:57Speaker 4: and last year, coming off the volatility of twent two
- 25:00Speaker 4: and look, you're absolutely right. At the end of the day,
- 25:03Speaker 4: these companies are so so important, largely because they make
- 25:08Speaker 4: up such a heavy weight of the indexes. So if
- 25:11Speaker 4: you're an investor and you're either comparing yourself to an
- 25:15Speaker 4: index like the S and P five hundred or the
- 25:16Speaker 4: NASAC or you're invested in an index like the SMP
- 25:20Speaker 4: five hundred, Well, these large tech companies are the ones
- 25:23Speaker 4: that are really leading the way. And at the end
- 25:26Speaker 4: of the day, yes, we saw some volatility post earnings. Yes,
- 25:29Speaker 4: these companies are spending so much money on capex or
- 25:34Speaker 4: capital expenditures when it comes to AI, but at the
- 25:37Speaker 4: end of the day, we do believe that this spending
- 25:39Speaker 4: is going to pay off. These large megacap companies are
- 25:43Speaker 4: at the forefront of this AI boom that we're going
- 25:48Speaker 4: to see in the years to come.
- 25:50Speaker 10: And it's really amazing when you look at the big
- 25:54Speaker 10: four tech companies, and I'll just lay them out.
- 25:55Speaker 4: You know, Microsoft Alphabet parent or Google parent, Alphabet AMZ
- 26:00Speaker 4: on Meta. Those four companies alone account for almost half
- 26:05Speaker 4: of spending on artificial intelligence.
- 26:07Speaker 10: We've seen it laid out in their earnings.
- 26:09Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, they're spending on
- 26:11Speaker 4: what they believe is the future and what we too
- 26:13Speaker 4: believe is going to be a trend that's not only
- 26:15Speaker 4: a trend, but is going to turn into revenue and
- 26:18Speaker 4: earnings in the future as well.
- 26:19Speaker 3: Sir, what kind of phone calls are getting from your
- 26:21Speaker 3: clients about this election. Are investors trying to position around it?
- 26:25Speaker 3: Are they trying to just trade through it? Ignore it?
- 26:27Speaker 9: It?
- 26:28Speaker 2: Kind of what kind of discussions are you having?
- 26:30Speaker 4: So people got a bit emotional, and you know, for
- 26:33Speaker 4: good reason before and around an election. Not just recently,
- 26:37Speaker 4: but I would tell you that over the past couple
- 26:39Speaker 4: of months, I think it's a little telling. I've gotten
- 26:41Speaker 4: calls from clients on both sides of the spectrum, so
- 26:44Speaker 4: Democrats and Republicans saying, Okay, if X person wins the
- 26:48Speaker 4: election and I want to leave the country, what does
- 26:51Speaker 4: that mean for my portfolio?
- 26:52Speaker 10: And can we still work together?
- 26:54Speaker 4: So emotions, emotions run high, you know, surrounding political elections.
- 26:58Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, you know, politics
- 27:01Speaker 4: really don't have as big an effect on markets as
- 27:05Speaker 4: some people tend to believe they do. If you look
- 27:07Speaker 4: at any which scenario over history, a blue sweep, a
- 27:11Speaker 4: red sweep, ridlock you know, ex party in office with
- 27:16Speaker 4: the other, you know, controlling Congress and the Senate, there's
- 27:20Speaker 4: really no statistically significant outcome. When you try to compare
- 27:25Speaker 4: different you know, representations of DC and the government to
- 27:29Speaker 4: stock market returns.
- 27:30Speaker 10: It really doesn't matter all that much.
- 27:32Speaker 4: Really, what matters is the federal reserve and interest rates
- 27:36Speaker 4: and the economy, which frankly, the president doesn't have as
- 27:40Speaker 4: much control as many people like to believe it to.
- 27:43Speaker 4: We actually had an event this this.
- 27:45Speaker 12: Week where you know, the question was posed to the attendees,
- 27:50Speaker 12: who do you think had you know, the worst market
- 27:54Speaker 12: returns during their presidency and who had the best.
- 27:57Speaker 4: I don't know if you want to take a crack
- 27:58Speaker 4: at it, but most people didn't know the answer.
- 28:01Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think just goes God. As you're
- 28:06Speaker 7: thinking about this election and pushing forward. I mean, you're
- 28:09Speaker 7: in private wealth management. This is a very important space.
- 28:12Speaker 7: What is your island right now? If you all are
- 28:14Speaker 7: kind of not focusing as much on the election to
- 28:17Speaker 7: determine returns.
- 28:18Speaker 4: So so love when it comes to planning surrounding policy. Yes,
- 28:23Speaker 4: in the private wealth space, when you're working with high
- 28:26Speaker 4: net worth individuals, family offices, there are potential policy changes
- 28:31Speaker 4: that could pose.
- 28:33Speaker 10: You know, significant change for clients.
- 28:35Speaker 4: So when it comes to the estate tax, for example,
- 28:39Speaker 4: right now, the way the law is right and is
- 28:40Speaker 4: at the end of next year, the current law is
- 28:43Speaker 4: going to sunset, and the estate tax the exemption amount
- 28:47Speaker 4: is going to be half.
- 28:48Speaker 10: Going to be cut in half.
- 28:49Speaker 4: So yes, we're seeing We're doing a lot of planning
- 28:51Speaker 4: surrounding that, working with our.
- 28:53Speaker 10: Clients and state attorneys to make sure that they're prepared.
- 28:56Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, what we're really
- 28:57Speaker 4: focused on is technolology, which we discussed, you know, doing
- 29:03Speaker 4: tax planning a head ahead of your end and then
- 29:06Speaker 4: just when it comes to markets, looking at the economic.
- 29:08Speaker 10: Data, looking at the trend for interest rates.
- 29:10Speaker 4: Look, we're going to get a Federal Reserve meeting next week,
- 29:13Speaker 4: but our economists expect that we'll see another fifty basis
- 29:16Speaker 4: points of cuts by the end of the year, another
- 29:18Speaker 4: one hundred based points of cuts next year. So if
- 29:21Speaker 4: we know cash rates are coming down, interest rates are
- 29:23Speaker 4: coming down, making sure that you know our clients aren't
- 29:27Speaker 4: sitting in cash or just short dated treasury bonds for example,
- 29:31Speaker 4: because at the end of the day, reinvestment risk is
- 29:33Speaker 4: an issue right now.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Sarah, thank you so much for joining us. Always appreciate
- 29:37Speaker 2: chatting with you.
- 29:37Speaker 3: Sarah Ponsek, she's the first vice president of wealth management
- 29:40Speaker 3: at UBS Private Wealth Management. She's located in Bolca Raton, Florida.
- 29:47Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast. Catch us live
- 29:50Speaker 1: weekdays at ten am Eastern on applecar Play and Android
- 29:54Speaker 1: Auto with the Bloomberg Business. You can also listen live
- 29:57Speaker 1: on Amazon Alexa from our flagship York station just Say
- 30:01Speaker 1: Alexa playing Bloomberg eleven.
- 30:05Speaker 3: It's good to Washington because we've got an election next
- 30:07Speaker 3: week and there aren't many people in Washington I want
- 30:10Speaker 3: to talk to.
- 30:11Speaker 2: One of them is Nathan Dean. He knows what's going on.
- 30:13Speaker 3: Then we always get the straight poop from Nathan. Nathan's
- 30:16Speaker 3: Bloomberg Intelligence senior policy analyst. So Nathan, you're down there,
- 30:19Speaker 3: You're hip deep and all that Washington stuff and all
- 30:23Speaker 3: the you know, the Innundia and all the talk and
- 30:25Speaker 3: all the back talk, back office talk and all the
- 30:27Speaker 3: type of thing. What's the feeling in DC about how
- 30:29Speaker 3: this thing may break on Tuesday?
- 30:32Speaker 13: Yeah, So, you know, I don't think anybody really has
- 30:34Speaker 13: any good prediction of how things are going to break
- 30:36Speaker 13: outside of the Senate race. And the reason why we're
- 30:38Speaker 13: saying the Senate races is because you know, this is
- 30:41Speaker 13: a very difficult race for the Democrats that are defending
- 30:43Speaker 13: twenty three of the thirty four seats that are open
- 30:45Speaker 13: at the moment, and a lot of those are in
- 30:46Speaker 13: purple states or in Trump's states. So if you're a
- 30:49Speaker 13: Senator Shery Brown, who's the Senate Banking chairman, or Senator
- 30:52Speaker 13: John Tester in Ohio and then Montana, those are races
- 30:55Speaker 13: that the Democrats have to win if they want to
- 30:57Speaker 13: keep the Senate. Now why do we care about the Senate? Well,
- 31:00Speaker 13: the Senate obviously gets you confirmation of judges, but also
- 31:03Speaker 13: regulatory leaders So if the Republicans take the Senate and
- 31:06Speaker 13: Kamala Harris wins, they can effectively block and jam a
- 31:09Speaker 13: lot of the new regulatory leadership that she wants to
- 31:11Speaker 13: put in place. So this could mean that Lena Khan
- 31:14Speaker 13: at the Federal Training Commissioner, Gary Ginzler at the SEC
- 31:17Speaker 13: sticks around for a little bit longer. If President Trump wins,
- 31:19Speaker 13: then a deregulatory effort can move much quicker. So outside
- 31:22Speaker 13: of the Senate race, everything else is too close to tell.
- 31:26Speaker 7: What's the latest on swing states?
- 31:29Speaker 13: So obviously I think you know what we're telling everybody
- 31:31Speaker 13: is that it comes down to Pennsylvania. I mean, if
- 31:32Speaker 13: Kamala Harris doesn't win Pennsylvania, the odds of her winning
- 31:35Speaker 13: the presidency is very slim. So you know, we've been
- 31:38Speaker 13: working with some European clients, for example, and as they
- 31:41Speaker 13: come into the office, say eight or nine am, you know,
- 31:43Speaker 13: central European time, look for the results in Philadelphia and
- 31:46Speaker 13: Pittsburgh to really try and give you an indication of
- 31:49Speaker 13: who's going to be winning this election. But I will
- 31:51Speaker 13: say is that, you know, the general thought here is
- 31:54Speaker 13: is that you know, there's this idea that the election
- 31:56Speaker 13: could go you know, for weeks. We just don't know.
- 31:59Speaker 13: But I also think there's a lot of folks out
- 32:01Speaker 13: there that are thinking that this at least we could
- 32:03Speaker 13: get an indication of who the president is, maybe not
- 32:06Speaker 13: officially and maybe not called by the agencies and so
- 32:09Speaker 13: forth the news organizations, but we could at least get
- 32:11Speaker 13: an indication of who the president is going to be
- 32:13Speaker 13: on Wednesday and Thursday. So you know, from a market perspective,
- 32:16Speaker 13: we're going to be looking to see for when those
- 32:18Speaker 13: state results start coming in. And obviously it's the one
- 32:21Speaker 13: hundred thousand folks in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada
- 32:25Speaker 13: and Michigan and so forth that are ultimately going to
- 32:27Speaker 13: decide who.
- 32:27Speaker 2: The president is.
- 32:28Speaker 7: Speaking of election calls, what is the expectation for how
- 32:31Speaker 7: long it could potentially take this election to be called?
- 32:35Speaker 13: Well, look it really, you know, this is the challenge
- 32:37Speaker 13: of the American voter system is that each state has
- 32:40Speaker 13: their own processes and procedures. I mean, certain states can't
- 32:42Speaker 13: start counting your early ballots until the polls close, for example,
- 32:46Speaker 13: and so we just don't know how long it's going
- 32:48Speaker 13: to take. However, what we can say is is that,
- 32:51Speaker 13: you know, we should get an indication of how things
- 32:55Speaker 13: are going. And when you look at the swing states
- 32:57Speaker 13: in particular, you know you have a good mix of
- 33:00Speaker 13: those that are on the East coast and those are
- 33:02Speaker 13: on the west coast Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada
- 33:05Speaker 13: and so forth like that. Put just going back to
- 33:07Speaker 13: what I said earlier, for Vice President Kamala Harris, it
- 33:09Speaker 13: comes down to Pennsylvania. If she can't win Pennsylvania, then
- 33:13Speaker 13: chances are of Michigan and Wisconsin are in play and
- 33:16Speaker 13: she loses the presidency. So again we would just we're
- 33:19Speaker 13: really paying attention to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh these days.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Nathan, I say this affectionately a policy geek, a wonk
- 33:25Speaker 3: You've got some great research out there that says, hey,
- 33:28Speaker 3: here's what happens to a couple of key industries from
- 33:30Speaker 3: a regulatory perspective, if Harris wins or Trump wins, what
- 33:34Speaker 3: are the two one, or two or three things that
- 33:36Speaker 3: you're really looking at or could be in play depending
- 33:39Speaker 3: upon who gets in office.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you're.
- 33:41Speaker 13: Trying to think of like catalyst industries, meaning that the
- 33:44Speaker 13: election means one substantial catalyst or the other, the investment
- 33:47Speaker 13: banks are the perfect thing to come into mind because
- 33:49Speaker 13: there's this rule out there called the Bosle three end game. Now,
- 33:51Speaker 13: if Kamala Harris wins, banks are going to look around
- 33:54Speaker 13: a nine percent capital increase starting in probably twenty twenty six.
- 33:57Speaker 13: If President Trump wins, that rule, I think effect goes away.
- 34:01Speaker 13: Renewables is certain. Is another thing because Eric, you know,
- 34:04Speaker 13: in the prior segment mentioned that taxes could go up
- 34:06Speaker 13: next year. The Trump Air tax cuts expire for individuals
- 34:09Speaker 13: at the end of twenty twenty five, and Congress and
- 34:11Speaker 13: the President is going to have to figure out how
- 34:13Speaker 13: to pay over four trillion dollars to keep those tax
- 34:16Speaker 13: cuts going. And so is the Inflation Reduction Act at play.
- 34:19Speaker 13: That's very important to the renewable industry, so something to
- 34:21Speaker 13: keep in mind. And finally, big tech. You know, there's
- 34:24Speaker 13: this stereotypical idea out there that Republicans equal good for
- 34:28Speaker 13: big business, and so if President Trump wins, you know,
- 34:31Speaker 13: big tech in particular could be it could be a
- 34:34Speaker 13: positive in terms of ease of regulation and enforcement. But
- 34:36Speaker 13: there's this idea of economic populism going through the Republican
- 34:39Speaker 13: Party right now and a lot of scrutiny on big
- 34:41Speaker 13: tech that could also be in play. So if you're
- 34:43Speaker 13: in the big tech space, you know, and the Federal
- 34:45Speaker 13: Trade Commission in the DOJ is investigating you, there could
- 34:48Speaker 13: be some pretty tough investigations coming, no matter whom mens
- 34:51Speaker 13: the presidency.
- 34:52Speaker 7: Hey, Nathan, I know we're on our first day of November,
- 34:54Speaker 7: but there's always talk about the October surprise. Is that
- 34:57Speaker 7: something that we saw.
- 34:59Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 35:00Speaker 13: I mean, you know, one thing that we've been leaning
- 35:02Speaker 13: on is that there's not many people out there who
- 35:04Speaker 13: are undecided. If you looked at the charts, these charts
- 35:07Speaker 13: are on the terminal, you know, you're looking at somewhere
- 35:09Speaker 13: between point five and one percent of the undecided popular
- 35:12Speaker 13: or the independent population out there, they're still undecided. And
- 35:15Speaker 13: so this race, in our opinion, has always been about,
- 35:17Speaker 13: you know, Vice President kam Haaris versus President Trump versus
- 35:20Speaker 13: the couch. And if people get off the couch and
- 35:22Speaker 13: they vote, then Vice President most likely wins. If people
- 35:24Speaker 13: stay on the couch and they don't vote, then President
- 35:27Speaker 13: Trump could win. So it's more more about a turnout
- 35:30Speaker 13: rather than an October surprise.
- 35:31Speaker 2: And I really don't.
- 35:32Speaker 13: Think we've seen anything that a really changed voters' minds
- 35:35Speaker 13: in October. But for the question is was there an
- 35:38Speaker 13: October surprise that we keep people from voting?
- 35:40Speaker 2: We just still don't know yet.
- 35:41Speaker 3: All Right, Nathan, thank you so much for joining us.
