It really was, to me, the story of the Commander-in-Chief who weeks into this war is deeply uncertain about how it ends. I'm John Finer, co-host of the Long Game Podcast. This week, Jake Sullivan and I break down the President's speech and discuss what it's like to negotiate with

the Iranians who will also debate whether Iran should accept a deal. The episode is out now, search and follow the long game wherever you get your podcasts.

“Today's number 54. That's how many years it's been since we lost went to the moon.”

Back then, many thought that by 2026 we'd have flying calls and space hotels. We don't have that, but we do have NFTs. Welcome to Prophecy Markets. I'm Adelson. It is April 9th. Let's check in on yesterday's

market vitals. The major indices rose on news of the ceasefire more on that in a second

Brent crude plummeted the dollar fell and metastock popped more than 8% after releasing its new AI model Muse Spock. Okay, what else is happening? The U.S. and Iran agreed to a two week ceasefire making yet another Taco Tuesday. The two country came to an arrangement just hours after Trump threatened to annihilate Iran. Under

the deal, the U.S. agreed to suspend strikes and Iran said it would reopen the straight over Muse. Markets celebrated the news, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq surged nearly 2.5% and the Dow jumped more than 1,300 points on Wednesday. Meanwhile, crude fell from 110 to $90 over night before settling around $95. However, the ceasefire is already showing cracks. Iran halted oil tank a passage through the straight after Israel attacked Lebanon. Iran

and Pakistan claimed the deal covers Lebanon while the U.S. and Israel said it doesn't. Iran's parliament speaker also claimed the U.S. has already violated three clauses of the proposal. The Iranian god says it's keeping its finger on the trigger ahead of talks with the U.S. scheduled for Friday. Okay, lots to dive into here. We're going to discuss this move from Trump and what it means for markets. We're joined by Robert Armstrong,

commentator for the financial times and author of the unheds newsletter as well as John Mowery, chief investment officer of NFJ investment group. Thank you both for joining me, John. I'm just going to start with you because last week you and I discussed this and towards the end of our conversation, you said you think he's going to say the word taco, but you said that he's not going to go through this and that is what happened. Let's just start with your

reactions to what happened in the ceasefire and how the markets reacted. Well, I know I'll start by kind of you know simplifying what we were seeing as we kind of went into this week. Um, earnings are holding up, but multiples were not. And to me that's really the story because, you know, if anything, estimates have gone higher and you were getting, you know, the tech sector at the lowest multiple going back to 2022. So this was really about multiple compression.

And, you know, this is all pointing to what happened in the oil markets and how that subsequently feeds into the CPI and how that subsequently feeds into the feds, pat for rate expectations.

and more and more, even though there wasn't fundamental deterioration in the underlying stock.

“And I think it's a real key point. Because I think a lot of times when people see sell off,”

they think, hey, um, you know, that's because, you know, companies are doing poorly. That happened sometimes. But in this case, this was purely based on an exogenous shock. And I think that all was trickling into how the fed would move with interest rate, uh, cuts and those expectations. So, you know, you're getting multiples really down to some of the lowest levels we've seen in many stocks in four or five years. So I'm not surprised at all to see the relief rally today because

we got some clarity, uh, potentially on opening the straight, which is 20% of supply, as we talked about last week. So all those things trickling to, okay, oil prices come in, then that's going to, potentially lessen the impact on the CPI. And that will allow for the fed to potentially revisit what the expectation for the market was, which is multiple rate cuts over the next 12 months. Right. That seems to be the hope and the expectation, at least after the ceasefire was announced,

that if oil prices, if, if we have a ceasefire, if the straight-of-homers open, then that means that oil prices are going to come down. Then that means we're going to see lower inflation than we expected, which means that the fed is not going to, uh, hike rates or at least, will maybe continue with the rate cutting cycle. I mean, I appreciate you layout how it all

trickles down to asset prices, ultimately, but the big question appears to be or at least is to me,

“is it really closed or it so excuse me, is it really open? Is the straight going to remain open?”

Is this ceasefire over, uh, Rob, I'm going to turn it to you because you actually created the term taco as I like to remind people over and over again. People are calling this a taco. Was this a taco and what do you think this means for the markets going forward? Um, as much as I enjoy my pathetically small kind of fame, I have for inventing this term, I don't think it applies very well in wartime. This is a term that made a lot of sense when we were dealing with domestic policy,

specifically tariffs, where Trump was really in charge. So he could make a grotesque threat and with draw it and the resulting kind of wave rolling through markets you could trade. Here, he's tangled up in a very complex multilateral situation as we've just seen demonstrated today. Like nobody seemed to tell the Israelis that the ceasefire said that they shouldn't, uh, bomb Lebanon. Uh, somebody, you know, somebody bomb that Saudi pipeline today. The, the, the, or moods straight

“alternative. So, uh, it's not a situation where Trump can flip a switch anymore. And I think, uh,”

so I think it's very different. Now, did he back down in general? Well, the Iranians have come to the table and at least nominally agreed under certain conditions for the straight to be open. So, did he get nothing? Did he back down for nothing? I don't think it's that clear. So, uh, I'm going to sort of argue against myself and say taco doesn't quite fit here. I do also want to mention no, I think John's point about multiples is very to the point. I mean, it's, it's very interesting

in this context that estimates earnings estimates have just been rising steadily through this whole war. Right. And like the stock is that's the reason that multiples are down so much is not just the stock prices have come down, but earnings estimates are up. Right. And so there's nothing like the estimates for companies, what they're pricing in doesn't incorporate any of the damage that higher oil price might do to grow or consumption. Right. It's not that, that's not in there. So,

you know, I think we're in a situation where different parts of the market are sending different messages, you know, it's an interesting moment. Yeah, you wrote in your newsletter. You said quote, "Well, the truth's hold, markets have decided that the gloss is half full oil prices fell hard and Asian stocks rose on the news, unhaged, which is your newsletter." That's you guys, so basically, Rob. Yeah. Unhaged still believes investors are underpricing the possibility

that sustained high energy prices will push inflation higher and growth lower. Could you elaborate on that point, please, Rob? Let me just lay it down in terms of a simple contrast. The stock market is almost fully recovered to where it was at the end of February, not all the

way, but I think it's within a few percentage points. Oil's at 96 after falling 17 percent. We

started the war at $65. So, all is not back to the status quo on today in the oil market. And we've

And even on top of that, when I talk to oil traders, they tell me, it's going to take even in

the best case scenario. It's going to take a while for traffic through the straight to normalize months, not weeks. So, you know, how sensitive the U.S. economy is to high oil prices,

“we can debate, but I think there is a threat, not only in inflation threat, but a threat to growth,”

and that it's probably a bit underpriced here. John, what do you make of that argument? Well, I couldn't agree with Rob more in terms of, you know, it's going to take time for ships to start running through straight again. So, I completely agree with that, markets will move ahead of that. So, I think as an equity investor, we have to be thinking about where markets will be before that occurs, because equity markets are going to discount that quickly. So, I think waiting for

the headline is always a challenge with investing. In terms of slowing growth, I would also agree,

you know, this is the real risk, because, you know, higher oil prices are a regressive tax, meaning that though that is a tax on, you know, everyone up and down, really the global economy. It's not just Americans, it's everyone. And, you know, the point I would make about a regressive

“tax around oil, I think it's interesting because I think COVID really shaped people's reshaped”

people's view on what costs were tolerable, because the inflation was just so agreed. Just, I mean, we had the high inflation since 1980. And when I think about how people tolerated that, I mean, I think it's been kind of amazing as an equity investor, but also, as I look at how just the consumer dealt with higher inflation from handbrokers to cars to houses. And everyone thought that that was going to push the economy into a weaker position, and it ended up being much more resilient.

So, my expectation is that this time, because consumers are, I think, better equipped to deal with the inflationary effects that they've learned from COVID, I think that this could actually not be a mechanism that slows the economy quite as much. I think the real question in my mind time back to the Fed is, okay, you've got hot inflation and you've got shock inflation. And those are two very different things. One is demand driven, one is supply driven. What I mean by that is right now,

we have supply driven inflation on the oil side. Back in 2017, 2008, oil was ripping because emerging markets were ripping China was getting ready for the Olympics. You know, they couldn't get enough, you know, cooking steel from Canada, to build bridges highways. So, that was a very different type of oil spike that we saw when Goldman came out and called for it to go to 200, back I believe in 2008. This is supply driven. And the question to me is will the Fed look through

a supply shock because to Rob's point, if anything, it's a tax on the consumer. So, you make the

“case it actually, you need to lower rates even more, even though the CPI might tick up because this”

is not because the economy is running hot, it's because you're taxing all the global consumers around the world. Yeah, it's a really interesting point. It gets to the point of, I mean, it almost doesn't matter how we feel about it, what matters is how Jerome Powell feels about it. And he's got an unpleasant job right now for the reason to John just made very clear, you know, he's getting it coming and going. And, you know, I don't envy him, right? Because on the one hand,

of course you should look through it, right? You can't print molecules and consumers are already getting hurt. At the same time, if the market gets the impression that you're being soft on inflation, you know, you're playing with fire on that side too. So, it's a damn delicate game and I don't I don't envy the guy at all. Stay tuned for more of this panel off to the break.

I got you a birthday gift not to pair myself on the back, but it was a pretty good one. It was indeed. You surprised me with a virgin Atlantic upperclass tickets to London. So, uh, tell us all about it.

It was pretty incredible. From the moment I entered that upperclass cabin,

I have to tell you, I felt like a VIP. Anything I needed, a drink, snack, assistance with the seat, flat seats, flat seats, exactly. Had the four-course meal, got my champagne, very delicious, enjoyed the food, and the journey home. The journey home was great. I went to the Virgin Atlantic LHR Clubhouse. That's the Heathrow Clubhouse.

called the Soma Dome, kind of felt like a sort of spaceship where you relax and think nice thoughts.

So, I did that for a little bit. Then we went over to the wing, which of these acoustically sealed boots, where you could do some work. You could even record a podcast. I didn't do that, but maybe I should have. It was a very enjoyable experience. So, Ed, the cool real question here is, what are you planning to get me from my birthday? See the world differently with Virgin Atlantic flying should be more than just transport. It is part of the adventure. It's a version at lantic.com to learn more.

einfach die richtigen talentefinden für alle Jobs. We're back with Proftly Markets. It sounds like we believe that ultimately, when it comes to

“markets, I mean, there are many reasons why this is important for reasons totally aside from markets.”

But it seems as though the big implication is what this ultimately does to inflation, and what those inflation expectations do in terms of the Fed's decisions. And that seems a little bit stupid when you say it out loud, but ultimately it does seem like that is what's going to determine the markets, ever the next year or so. No, I would say there is a second channel.

Okay. The first channel, which John just described brilliantly, is that channel that leads to

what the Fed does. The other channel is that that's the inflation channel. The other channel is growth. So we put a regressive tax on consumers in a economy where there was not as much fiscal stimulus as there was in 2020, where the job market is not getting worse, but it's a little bit squishy already, right? No higher, no fire, it's not dynamic, where there's just a little bit noise about credit problems, in areas like private credit or consumer credit among consumers.

Then you say, okay, regressive tax on the poorest consumers. You know, real income is done goes down. Consumption comes down a little bit. Companies start to feel the pressure. You know what a company does when it feels pressure? I better protect my margins. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to fire someone, right? Save a little bit of money. And you can see where this is going. And by the way, I should emphasize, I think John's optimism is well placed. I'm playing out the right hand

10% of the probability distribution. Right. That there's a cascade from this regressive tax to lower consumption, to companies cutting fat, to the job market cracking, and all of a sudden you're in a recession, even though the American economy is not that sensitive to oil prices, you get this kind of crazy cascade in an economy that's a tiny bit mushy at one end anyway.

“You could see that being important. Not, not, I would. None of that will happen. I think the”

highest probability is not of that would happen, but you can see that series or that series of

my mind initially goes here. It's like, okay, we've had these escalations in Iran. Yes, the straight of her moves is supposedly open now, but they're also charging millions of dollars

for every ship that passes through. And then they're also closing it every other second coin in

Bitcoin, which is the whole other thing to talk about. But it seems to me that this generally leads to elevated prices at a general level. No, we're not going to have $150 to $200 dollars a barrel of oil, but certainly it seems like oil prices are elevated. Certainly it seems like fertilizer prices are elevated, leading to elevated food prices, etc. And we are now seeing inflation expectations from various institutions. We were looking at Bank of America who put inflation at above 4%

by the end of the year, does that then lead to lower growth, which then leads to more layoffs,

“because that's what companies are going to decide is the right thing to do in that environment,”

which ultimately sounds like, okay, that's that's a recession. That's where my mind goes, at least.

But John, would you take issue with my mind going in that direction? So that's, I mean, look, that's the right logical sequence. The, the, the, the flying the ointment, though, is what is the duration of elevated oil prices? And so that's what's going on, right? That's, that's why, I mean, there's, there's pain points globally, with what's going on with the strength, because of the 20% supply to go through it. I mean, we don't buy any oil from Iran and China

is the one that buys all the oil from Iran at the 80% or plus. So this isn't about getting oil from Iran. This is about the, the global supply network, which ironically is very similar to what the tariffs were about. That was global supply network. And ironically, that was very much what COVID was about. That was the shutting off of global supply networks. And so Americans are getting a real taste of what globalization did in terms of supply chain management. I think that the way you have

to navigate this, though, is they're going to be companies that are able to pass through inflation easier than others. And as an investor, when you see these large gaps between earnings expectations and multiple compression, that's an opportunity. That's where that's where you see opportunity.

“And that's why you had the massive relief rally. I mean, the weaker companies today bounce,”

like, for example, homebuilders band bounced hard today. That's great. The earnings profile on homebuilders is bad. It's not good. And so it's like, would I want to go out and buy homebuilders today? Nope. It's like, well, they are 5% today. It's like, that's great. There's a lot of other areas that were up 5% today with really good fundamentals that make sense while they're getting a re-rate because there's been no break in the fundamentals. And we're just entering earnings season.

So we're going to get a better read. But I couldn't agree more that all these things ultimately

do trickle down. And we're going to impact how the companies think about a cap expand, they're hiring, they're firing, all of that. But ultimately, the companies that are best equipped to deal that have pricing power. And those companies that have had multiple compression and misenvironment

“or the opportunities for investors today. The only thing I think that's quick. You nailed it there.”

The only thing I would add. Huge difference between $100 and $150 oil and another huge difference again between $150 and $200. And $200 is a marginal buyway. And inflation adjusted terms. We were $200 and $200 and $200 before that. That crisis happened. So like, if we, you know, I think most of the economists I talked to, the math on this stuff is too hard for me to do. But the economists I talked to say, you know, you can live $120, $130, $140. You get much higher above

that than the, you see the economy sensitivity to the price of oil at that point. But that's a far way off, which is some reason for optimism. I could not agree more, you know, you push the oil toward that 200 mark, the pain point gets exponential. What is so different today because of the fracking technology, which was actually invented. I'm sitting here in Dallas, it was invented in Fort Texas. You know, the US is now, you know, the largest oil producer in the world.

You go back to 1970s, okay. You know, that was very different. When we had oil inflation, you know, the US was in a very different place. The Baker Hughes rig count, which we keep an eye on has not ticked up. But to the extent that oil prices stay elevated, it's going to be interesting to see how America can flex its new energy dominance. I don't think people fully appreciate the dominance that America has with energy. Yeah. And it extent that, you know,

America really wants to push this, you know, we obviously can release strategic reserves from Cushing Oklahoma. But that's a band-day. The real lever, the real lever is that America is the best

that's something different in the global economy that we have not seen really in our lifetime. I mean, we've had a lot of great reporting in the F.T. by my colleagues from down at Texas and

“other parts of the shell patch in the US. And the issue for them is, I think you're right. I mean,”

this like at what point do we turn the taps on? But somebody who's deciding whether to put a rig up or not needs certainty. That's true. You know, it's like if it's 150 dollars this week, they're not going to put the rig up. They need to know it's going to be $150 and three months. Right.

When the rig is finally up, they don't want to wake up that morning in August and find out we're

back at $75, right, where they pump and gas at a loss. So like it's going to be hard for us to flex if we don't know what the hell's going on. Right. Right. And so that, you know, we need, you know, the oil economy to meant not to mention, you know, people who ensure about going through the straight of hormones, crews of ships, every, we need some visibility into the future in order to invest, you know, to get this thing going again. So we'll see how that goes. This brings up a point that I'd be

interested to hear your answer to John, because I mean, we have spent pretty much our entire lives over the past week, basically just looking at what this, this guy in the White House says on on social

“media. And it seems like that's, it seems like we have to. I mean, if you want to understand what is”

going to happen, I mean, it seems that you kind of have to be very plugged into how the president

is talking about what's happening in Iran and what he's putting out on social media, because that's how he communicates. And I just be interested as a wealth manager, as an investor, is that something that you're focusing on and if so, like, to what extent, like how frequently and how seriously must you take the president's tweets when it comes to say bombing Iran? So I would say it's, you know, there's a rhetoric and then there's policy.

You know, if you try to manage money based on a rhetoric, that's, I would argue against that, I think that's a really poor way to run money. You know, policy is what I pay attention to. I pay attention to what regulations are. I pay attention to what new policies are coming out. You know, what, you know, what is in the pipeline and then I pay attention to what the companies are saying, what the earnings are doing. I mean, the companies that make up America,

this is the thermometer of America's health. You know, the government sits there, but it, you know, it exists because the American companies pump out earnings. You know, it's pulling those tax dollars and then it's creating policy and going around the world and doing what it does. So I'm focused on the heartbeat of the capitalist model, which is the companies. And so I'm paying close attention to what they're saying,

what they're doing with their capital and the concerns that they have. So rhetoric is important, but what I would say about rhetoric is you can get lost in the noise of that, because if you would take it rhetoric out of the White House in the morning and made decisions on that, you know, you would have been surprised in a wrong way with what occurred. So that's not how we want to run money. We want to run money based on what the companies are saying and what the policies

are coming out of Washington. Yeah. I'm sorry to believe that most of us as investors at least would actually be better. If you had a choice between listen to everything that the President says versus listen to none of it, as an investor, I might actually choose to the latter at this point. Yeah. I'll tell you this. I don't listen to I read. I don't listen and I, you know, I know it's like a small thing, but I find that that sometimes listening can cause emotional

reactions. And so I like to read and then I'm focused on what the companies are saying, what the companies are doing. And you really got to, you know, looking for what opportunity lies, because if you're looking for headlines, good luck. No one's going to send you a post out in the Mail telling you when to step in in the equity markets. That's not how they don't ring a bell,

“as my own mail, now we're used to tell me. No, I think the point I'm about emotion is really”

important. Like, you know, what Trump is great at? His superpower is causing people to feel strong emotions. This is why this is what got him to be president. This is what makes him such a hypnotic figure is he has like a main line cable into our emotional wiring and stepping away from that,

you know, is, is powerful. Yeah. You know, and just trying to make sure his message may get through

your brain, but you can't let it get through to your emotions. 100%. Just on, just before we end here,

about the multiple contraction, which has been pretty stunning, especially when you look at a lot

of these tech companies, which have been sliding over many, many weeks and months. And I mean, I was like, yeah, Microsoft, the other day, trading at the same level that was in the post

“liberation day set off. I mean, what do we think that there are some opportunities here in this market?”

All we meant, perhaps being distracted by everything else that's going on. I'm forgetting that actually there are some some pretty cheap stocks out there right now. John, I guess I'll start with you. Yeah. I mean, there's no question there with cheap stocks. I mean, I'll share this. And again, I'm biased because I look at stocks all day and this is what we do. So I, you know,

I'm always, I'm always probably, you know, my band is just to be optimistic. But I would say

this, not a lot of folks realize this. The Russell 2000 after eight, that's the small Kevin Decks, it's up to five and a half percent. The Russell midcap is up five percent and, you know, the 1000 is down 80 basis points. So small and midcap stocks are up and it's like, why is that?

“Why is that? And I think there's two, there's two key reason. The first is that you've seen a”

rotation away from some of the mag seven. So that's a very crowded trade and you saw some compression there. And I think you saw compression there because folks started to be worried about hey, maybe in video and, you know, what it's doing to the software space and how it's breaking into, you know, being able to, you know, code more cheaply, you know, back it to have, you know, pressure on the margins with some of these large tech companies. That's one piece of it. But then

the other is the small and midcap companies, what the market is signaling to me is that there's relief coming for these companies. And I think that is pointing to rates because those have the most debt or the most sensitive interest rates. And the reason I think interest rates are so important. It's easy to say interest rates solve out interest rates. Like interest rates are traffic signals for the economy. Okay. And they tell capital what to do. And so it's a big, big deal. And so

when I see small and midcap stocks up year to day in the face of everything we're seeing, that gives me even more optimistic because below the surface, you've got a lot of dislocation and cyclicals and industrials technology, consumer discretionary. But you've got to be cheesy. Not all stocks are created equal. And I mentioned pricing power earlier. So you're going to have to really weed through not every stock is created equal. After I put up here, but rather of any

closing thoughts before we go, you know, I'm looking at that midcap index myself, you know,

“I think it's really interesting. Still at a massive discount to the to the S&P 500. You know,”

I'm paid to write about Mark. It's not investment. But I would echo those comments. And to a certain extent, they apply also to European stocks. More interest rates sensitive, more energy sensitive at a discount. So the argument's there. And as far as Microsoft at 20 times earning, which it hasn't

been in a really long time. And how's it solve a third? You know, we've had 25 years of reasons to

bed against Microsoft. And it's had the last laugh every time. You know, it's like Microsoft is like the black mold of the American economy. Like once it's in your house, there's no getting it out. And so I'm not bedding against Microsoft at 20 times earning. So I'll put it that way. 100% agree.
