Speaker 2: what they are experiencing.
Speaker 6: He has a record to run on. He's passed significant
Speaker 6: legislation that is making investments in infrastructure and chips and
Speaker 6: other things in the economy. The numbers are getting better,
Speaker 6: but people are just starting feeling it.
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Mark Niquett says the chill for President Biden will
Speaker 2: be convincing Americans that the economy is strengthening as inflation drops.

Speaker 1: representative and McCarthy. Ally, Garrett Graves has a message for
Speaker 1: GOP holdouts.
Speaker 7: If you want to empower Senator Schumer, if you want
Speaker 7: to empower Joe Biden, then what you do is you
Speaker 7: let government shut down. You don't pursue a continued resolution,
Speaker 7: you don't pass the appropriations bills. That is the liberal solution.
Speaker 1: Republican Representative Garrett Graves says he wants to see a
Speaker 1: continuing resolution keeping the government open. The federal government's current
Speaker 1: funding is set to run out on Saturday.

Speaker 2: materials were present when the Solar System first formed.
Speaker 9: We don't have any other samples that can tell us
Speaker 9: about those times. And the important thing is is they're
Speaker 9: pristine because they haven't been through atmosphere entry. They're going

Speaker 2: Thank good morning to you. I'm Amy Morris. UBS CEO
Speaker 2: Sergio Ermadi is on his first trip to Beijing since
Speaker 2: returning to the bank. Both UBS and Credit Suees have
Speaker 2: long standing joint ventures in China, where managing the assets
Speaker 2: of the ultra wealthy is big business. Ermadi sat down
Speaker 2: with Bloomberg's John lou for inni exclusive interview on the
Speaker 2: Swiss giants plans in Asia. I started by discussing if
Speaker 2: Chinese clients still have concerns about the integration of Credit Suisse.
Speaker 8: Things are progressing very well. We made shift very swift
Speaker 8: progress in integrating Credit Swiss. We close the transaction in
Speaker 8: record times, also thanks to the big cooperation of regulators
Speaker 8: across the globe. And that's one of the reasons why
Speaker 8: I'm also here today in Beijing because I you know,
Speaker 8: this is my first trip to Asia since taking on
Speaker 8: again in my role at UBS, and I think it's
Speaker 8: very important for me to reach out to all the
Speaker 8: Chinese stakeholders and reiterate our commitment to China while also
Speaker 8: updating them on the integration.
Speaker 13: So I do know that here in China UBS has
Speaker 13: a securities venture. Credit Swiss also had a securities venture.
Speaker 13: It would seem to make sense to sell out of
Speaker 13: the Credit Swiss venture. Is that something you're pursuing now?
Speaker 8: Well, we are currently evaluating the best options. Of course,
Speaker 8: we are not allowed to have to operations, but we
Speaker 8: need to really understand exactly how to do that. We
Speaker 8: are very happy with our historical operation here in China
Speaker 8: that we were the first to get the license as
Speaker 8: a foreign investors to own and a control stake. So
Speaker 8: it's a very important element of our strategy in China.
Speaker 8: And now we need to exactly evaluate how to integrate
Speaker 8: or how to what to do with the CES operation.
Speaker 13: Sort of how far have you progressed in that process?
Speaker 13: Are you looking at potential buyers? Are you talking to
Speaker 13: anyone yet or is it knock got into that place at.
Speaker 8: This stage we are examining the situation, Okay.
Speaker 13: In your second quarter results it mentioned specifically that client
Speaker 13: confidence sentiment and activity here in Asia was muted. Are
Speaker 13: you still finding that's the case into the third quarter.
Speaker 8: Well, I think that we saw in general a little
Speaker 8: pick up across the globe, also in Asia in terms
Speaker 8: of client activity. So the most important topic for us
Speaker 8: was to see the returns of assets that left credit SUITEE.
Speaker 8: In Q four Q one this year, we started to
Speaker 8: see assets coming back at pretty swiss towards the end
Speaker 8: of the second quarter. We see also very good momentum
Speaker 8: in Q three, So that's the most important issue. But
Speaker 8: also in general, it's fair to say that investors are
Speaker 8: more constructive than they have been uh recently.
Speaker 13: So on the momentum you talked about in Q three
Speaker 13: there was a net new money and flow about sixteen
Speaker 13: billion US dollars and two Q you said at the
Speaker 13: time you expected that to continue. What is it looking
Speaker 13: like in twe Q What does good momentum mean?
Speaker 8: Well, I mean we we are pursuing similar patterns, so
Speaker 8: we are not going to be specific on numbers. The
Speaker 8: quarter is still ongoing, but the most important issues that
Speaker 8: we see we see see substantial substantially our forecast being
Speaker 8: confirmed and we are getting the close of the quarters.
Speaker 8: So I think that that's very encouraging to see that.
Speaker 8: So quickly. Our clients are responding to our actions to
Speaker 8: stabilize credit suits and and and to and to offer
Speaker 8: them the best of the combined organizations and age.
Speaker 13: I believe in the second quarters there was a net
Speaker 13: money and flow about one point eight or so billion
Speaker 13: US dollars in Asia. Do you see a similar sort
Speaker 13: of trajectory in the third quarters.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we see positive trends across the globe in each region.
Speaker 13: What about here in China? What does the sentiment feel like,
Speaker 13: not only here, but like globally, the perception of China
Speaker 13: and Chinese assets.
Speaker 8: Well, look in general in the globe, you know, we
Speaker 8: are going through very challenging times in terms of macroeconomic
Speaker 8: In terms of the macroeconomic picture, of course, the geopolitical
Speaker 8: tensions are not helping at this stage, you know, but
Speaker 8: I do believe that many investors still sees the long
Speaker 8: term potential of China.
Speaker 2: That's ubs CEO Sergia or Madi speaking exclusively with Bloomberg's
Speaker 2: John lu in Beijing. Congress is heading into a make
Speaker 2: or break week for avoiding a government shutdown. We are
Speaker 2: joined now by Dennis Gardman, University of Akron Endowment Chairman
Speaker 2: and former publisher of the Gartman Letter, Dennis, always a
Speaker 2: pleasure to have. You want to take a broader look
Speaker 2: at the markets as we start this trading week, But
Speaker 2: there are so many factors impacting the markets, especially now,
Speaker 2: not the least of which a possible government shutdown. Is
Speaker 2: that a factor for you too?
Speaker 14: Yes, it is a factor, and it should be a
Speaker 14: factor for everybody. I hope that there are some resolution
Speaker 14: to this before the week is out, that we actually
Speaker 14: keep the government intact, but the markets right now seem
Speaker 14: to think that that's not going to happen, that we're
Speaker 14: going to continue to see dissension within the troops in Washington, DC,
Speaker 14: and that there will be a government shutdown even if
Speaker 14: we'd get one. I doubt that it lasts very long.
Speaker 14: But right now the market wants to say it's deleterious
Speaker 14: to share prices, and that's why we were having a
Speaker 14: difficulty this morning. We had a little bit of a
Speaker 14: rally in the futures overnight, but that gave up very quickly,
Speaker 14: and we're making new lows as we speak. So it's disconcerting,
Speaker 14: to say the very least. You also have the continued
Speaker 14: UAW strikes that seem to be widening, not lessening, And
Speaker 14: the only good thing is that the writer's strikes seems
Speaker 14: to be making some progress. But strikes and government shutdowns
Speaker 14: are never good for stock prices.
Speaker 2: Now, you have been bearished for months now, and just
Speaker 2: for a few days last week you were modestly bullish.
Speaker 2: You were sort of dipping your toe in that water
Speaker 2: on stocks. Has this kind of ruined that for you?
Speaker 2: Are you bearish again?
Speaker 14: Yes, it has ruined it for me. The only I
Speaker 14: trade my own account, and right now I have a
Speaker 14: very large position in less than two year notes, which
Speaker 14: I'm comfortable with at seventy three years old income. It
Speaker 14: seems to be more important to me then speculative trades.
Speaker 14: But I'm short about eight percent of my portfolio at
Speaker 14: this point, have been for a while, and as we
Speaker 14: make new lows, my propensity is to add to that trade.
Speaker 14: I'm short stocks and long a little bit of gold,
Speaker 14: and I'm reasonably comfortable with usosition. But it scared me
Speaker 14: being barish for a while. That we had a rally
Speaker 14: two weeks ago, but it seemed to fail very quickly,
Speaker 14: and the problem with the market was that the rallies
Speaker 14: were on the very light volume. The brakes were on
Speaker 14: heavier volume and we failed to make new highs. And
Speaker 14: at the same time we had the CNN Fear and
Speaker 14: Greed Index, which had gotten to eighty five, was beginning
Speaker 14: to turn lower, and that's always a definitive signal that
Speaker 14: Marcus want to go lower. So for about an hour
Speaker 14: and a half, I got a little bit concerned. For
Speaker 14: months and months, I've been very barish, and I continue
Speaker 14: to be all right.
Speaker 2: Then, oil, though, has rallied in recent weeks, and it
Speaker 2: continues this morning, if not modestly, three tens seven percent
Speaker 2: for NINEX crewede almost a half percent for Brent crude
Speaker 2: as we speak for futures. Does that help support what
Speaker 2: had been a modestly bullish.
Speaker 14: Position for you, Well, the thing to watching the crude
Speaker 14: oil market is the fact that the backwardation the inversion
Speaker 14: continues to widen. And as long as the market continues
Speaker 14: to be inverted, as long as the front months gain
Speaker 14: on the back months on down days and gain on
Speaker 14: the back months on updates, you have to err upon
Speaker 14: the side of being bullish of crude oil. Ninety five
Speaker 14: dollars WTI seems to be an extremely high price, but
Speaker 14: it has surprised me the ability for crude to continue
Speaker 14: to be inverted in the term structure, and it wants
Speaker 14: to go higher and higher. For crude oil are always
Speaker 14: deleterious to share prices generally, so it higher crude oil
Speaker 14: prices tend to be an added various circumstance, so it
Speaker 14: adds to my overt variousness and stock prices at this point.
Speaker 2: Now we've been talking about inflation, We've been talking about
Speaker 2: the oil prices, We've been talking about the strikes and
Speaker 2: the possible government shutdown. There are so many X factors.
Speaker 2: Where's the FED when it comes to driving these stock prices?
Speaker 14: The set has been behind the eight ball for quite
Speaker 14: a period of time. They were laid in understanding that
Speaker 14: inflation was a problem, calling it transitory when it wasn't
Speaker 14: really going to be transitory. And the SET is going
Speaker 14: to continue to be I think detrimental to share prices.
Speaker 14: It's going to continue to hold a tight monetary policy
Speaker 14: for a much longer period of time than people want
Speaker 14: to anticipate. It's going to be at least late into
Speaker 14: twenty twenty four, maybe into twenty twenty five before the
Speaker 14: SAD begins. The process of allowing the overnight Fed funds
Speaker 14: rate to decline. So you have to prepare yourself for
Speaker 14: an inverted you O curve for a long period of
Speaker 14: time going forward. Not higher prices as far as or
Speaker 14: not hired levels of interest rates, but high levels of
Speaker 14: interest rates for a long period of time. So it's
Speaker 14: high for longer and not higher for longer.
Speaker 2: Ah, got it. That is a subtle difference, but a
Speaker 2: significant one. Dennis, Thank you so much for taking the
Speaker 2: time with us.
Speaker 14: Amy always a pleasure, thank you, and an honor to
Speaker 14: be on in the morning.
