Yikes! Watch BEFORE the Fed Meeting TODAY [FOMC].
FULL TRANSCRIPT
here's one you want to watch all the way
through before the Federal Reserve
meeting because we've got three really
important things that we've got to talk
about before the FED meeting number one
the disaster of the ADP jobs report that
just came out number two what JP Morgan
thinks the results will be in the stock
market after the FED meeting so what to
prepare for and number three we've got
another update from Nikki leaks which is
a reference to the person who basically
gets text messages from the Federal
Reserve and then tweets or write stories
about them at the Wall Street Journal
alright folks let's get into this the
first thing that we have to look at is
the ADP report that just came out
initially when you look at it it looks
like a complete disaster it looks
terrible okay because it suggests we
gain 239 000 jobs in October and that
the annual wage gain was 7.7 now why is
this terrible it's terrible because of
something potentially known as the wage
price spiral where if inflation is below
the level of how quickly wages are going
up so if inflation Falls to like 7.6 and
wage gains are 7.7 percent you
potentially start having a wage price
spiral where the gains in wages become
self-sustaining spiraling to the upside
because workers demand more pay as
prices have gone up for goods but then
because workers demand more pay prices
of goods have to go up and you
self-sustain inflation and it never goes
down okay absolutely terrible and on the
surf surface it feels like oh no this is
absolutely terrible we need to see this
annual pay go down but when we actually
dig deeper into the report we actually
get what I consider some hope take a
look at this we suggest or ADP suggests
that hiring was not broad-based and
we're seeing early signs of a Fed driven
demand destruction only affecting
certain sectors of the labor market now
that's a big deal so they're basically
saying hey hey fed fed numbers on the
headline bad but we're starting to see
all causing damage and then things get
really interesting because when we
actually look at this breakdown we've
lost jobs in a lot of sectors look at
this minus 8 000 jobs for goods
producing this is a shrinkage in jobs
information down seventeen thousand ten
thousand down Financial activity
professional and business services
education and Health Services minus
minus minus for services lots of job
losses here we're almost exclusively all
of the jobs coming from right here folks
Leisure and Hospitality this is really
interesting because if we compare this
to a separate ADP report we could see
that in most of the monthly earnings
gains between 2019 and 2021 are
occurring in the group The cohort of
lower income individuals and ADP
suggests this makes sense that lower
income areas are seeing the largest the
lowest paid workers are seeing the
largest increases of pay in some cases
as high as 42.5 or 42.4 percent pay
increases since before the pandemic so
you're really seeing that lower end
really see dramatic strides in wage
gains and the reason that's so important
to differentiate is because if we gave
the fed this report and just said hey
annual pays up 7.7 we might have a Fed
that needs to rug pull us because these
numbers on the headline are scary it's
only when we break them down and say
wait a minute it's actually that lower
income job sector they're the ones who
are getting the jobs and they're
probably the ones making up the bulk of
the pay increase and on top of that we
see that job gains for momentum and sort
of these wage increases is starting to
ebb in fact for year over year uh pay
growth we saw an edging down of pay
growth for job switchers from 15.7 in
September to 15.2 percent in October but
for people who stayed at their jobs were
still consistent at that 7.7 percent
these are high numbers here and if we
look at median pay change by category
look at where no surprise the biggest
pay change category is so on the surface
we have bad news but when we actually
break it down we're like ah these are
the lower paying jobs that are seeing
most of the wage gains and they're the
ones that have been catching up most
since before the pandemic they really
deserve to be getting the biggest pay
bump because they've been so far left
behind and so hopefully hopefully we
have a Federal Reserve that will come
fed time here today we have a Federal
Reserve that either today or in the
future starts realizing hey wait a
second we need to talk about this wage
price spiral and identify it as what it
is it's just a one remaining sector
catching up the rest of the jobs Market
is starting to slow now I want to talk
about JP Morgan we're going to talk
about JP Morgan just a moment but keep
that in mind the rest of the jobs Market
is starting to slow it's just Leisure
and Hospitality that's booming and quite
frankly if you look at Uber if you look
at American Airlines you look at what
American Express is saying all of them
are saying travel is still booming that
will eventually get hit as people draw
down on their consumers I don't know
that you need higher higher fed funds
rate to get people to stop traveling
because here's the reality a higher fed
funds rate isn't going to affect home
like people at their homes and their
ability to travel like a higher fed
funds rate is going to affect a company
that's trying to buy uh you know finance
a plane or Finance new Machinery or
whatever because most of those rates are
directly tied to the FED funds rate with
the consumer they just use their savings
or they go from a high interest rate
credit cards to a personal loan over at
Sofi it's brilliant now let's realize
that is a good thing we just need the
FED to realize raising rates more is not
going to stop Leisure and Hospitality
spent we just have to let people spend
their money get through the holiday and
then realize we're in a recession and
then that'll slow you don't actually
have to be more aggressive now let's
talk about JPMorgan right after a
message from our sponsor established
titles you know some of you might not
know but I'm not a landlord anymore and
I'm a little disappointed about this
because yeah I sold 85 percent of my
properties all the ones with tenants in
it and I'm not a landlord anymore so now
when people are like but Hey Kevin the
the New York Times has you featured as a
landlord influencer but you're not
actually a landlord like what happened
you know I thought you were the landlord
to go to with questions about
landlording online and I have to say I
was so disappointed I thought you know
what maybe there's a way I could become
a landlord again
and so what we did is we got ourselves
one square foot of land in Scotland and
now we're technically Lords of the land
again we have one square foot of
dedicated land on a private estate in
Scotland we have an official certificate
to go with it and I'll show you that
certificate and I'm gonna take you into
this special spot where my certificate
is see my certificate features a unique
plot number so that way I can always
geolocate my exact location and the
company that plots these plots and sells
these plots plants a tree with every
single order so if you want to be a
landlord consider using the link down
below and you can officially change your
name to Lord or lady like on your plane
tickets and credit cards there's some
things you can't put it on like
passports and driver's license sadly but
but I'm officially a lord again so you
can now go to established title dot com
slash meet Kevin to get your last minute
gift for someone else you get 10 off
when you use uh the meet Kevin coupon
code or you go to establishtitles.com
meet Kevin uh what's really cool is
established titles is running a large
sale right now that's unique to this
moment in time so make sure you use that
code meet Kevin to take advantage of
that sale and quite frankly it's kind of
cool to officially say I'm a landlord
again by the way established titles told
me the first 200 people purchasing a
title pack using my link down below will
effectively be next to my plot within a
few minutes of walking depending on how
many of you want to become a lord or
lady we can build our own little Channel
named Kingdom 93. let me show you the
certificate here it is my certificate in
my new podcast said don't tell anyone
yet but we are gonna hang this up so
that way I'm officially a landlord in my
podcast said let's go so JPMorgan
provides multiple outcomes for what
could happen with the Federal Reserve
let's take a look at some of these
outcomes so first JPMorgan suggests
there's a low likelihood of the FED
coming out with a 50 basis point hike I
agree I think this is almost a zero
percent chance but they suggest If the
Fed turns dovish now because for
whatever reason the FED flips and
realizes okay we've done enough let's
slow they think markets could rally 10
to 12 percent now if the FED goes 50 and
is hawkish which has a slight chance I I
think almost no chance here but is
slightly possible uh like already seeing
a reduction in these rate hikes uh in
the pace of rate hikes you could also
see a substantial rally at the S P 500 I
I don't think so I don't think we're
seeing that until December next they
think you could have a 75 basis point
hike with a dovish press conference they
think this is the second most likely
outcome I personally don't think you're
going to see it dovish Powell I think
we've got two jobs reports and two CPI
reports before they could dare have this
credibility challenge of having a dovish
Fed Reserve meeting and then getting
really bad data over the next two
reports right now the ADP report has
some levels of optimism to it but again
you don't want to go into two jobs
reports and two CPI reports with a
dovish meeting and then look like an
idiot right so I feel like you have to
be hawkish anyway dovish could lead the
s p up two and a half to three percent
whereas unfortunately a hawkish press
conference and a 75 basis point hike
which is deemed the most likely outcome
could lead the S P 500 down one percent
now you do have a 100 or a 100 basis
point hike possible but probably
unlikely but if we got a 1 100 basis
point hike and a dovish Fed or 100 basis
point hike and a hawkish Fed you'd
probably see either a four and a half
percent s p decline or six to eight
percent decline it would be so
unexpected it would almost be deemed a
rug pull by markets now we're not
expecting that though unfortunately we
have Nikki leaks to give us a little bit
of insight remember this is the guy who
always writes about the Federal Reserve
uh this is the guy who gets the text
messages and what is Nikki leaks telling
us well he tells us that the FED is
trying to tighten Financial conditions
and keep them tight notice keep them
type is a tight is really important
because you could tighten to a certain
level and then continue to keep pressure
by talking hawkishly right and Mr Nick
here says that talk about the FED pivot
can be confusing because there are
multiple ways you could see a pivot you
could see that raising rates rapidly to
catch up is deemed somewhat of a pivot
right you pivot to get aggressive like
what we saw at the beginning of last
year that would be a bearish pivot right
then raising rates at a slower pace is
also deemed to be somewhat of a pivot
then the holding rates at a given level
is deemed to be a pivot going from
Raising to not raising at all and then
there's another style of pivot which is
just like the FED going to straight out
bailout mode like a fourth pivot here
right so there are many ways to look at
a pivot usually markets bottom when the
FED does the four thing which is when
the U-turn and rather than just doing
any of these they go okay we've done too
much we've caused too much damage we
need to support markets again like what
you know we've seen historically by the
Federal Reserve following Black Monday
in 1987 uh 2003 at the end of the.com
bubble February of 2009 December of 2018
and March of 2020. those were
historically the bottoms of the market
and they aligned with fed uh massive
u-turns u-turns not even just pivots
like full on u-tunes anyway like think
of a pivot in like basketball right you
do it you dribble you got your dribble
dribble and then just pivot like to the
left to the right I think a U-turn is
like okay I'm out of here you know full
on full-on reversal anyway derivative is
Market uh Nick here says it shows that
investors expect the FED funds rates to
to remain and three and a half percent
dude we're not even at three and a half
percent yeah that's crazy and expect it
to remain at three and a half we're
close but I expect it to remain at three
and a half percent for the long run the
highest level since 2014 as wages rise
uh and people worry that higher
inflation will end up being structural
in other words sort of built in and it's
self-sustaining so we'll see we've got a
lot of reports coming up but here's my
take I really want to see the FED make a
clear distinction between the type of
wage gains that we're getting but I'd
also like to see a clear distinction in
the type of inflation that we're getting
that it's heavily based on the housing
markets shelter inflation again if you
subtract shelter inflation from CPI what
do you get you get no inflation now I
see some comments people pounds are like
oh how could you subtract the single
biggest thing if somebody's somebody's
uh you know expenditures and say you see
look in station zero
because the way CPI is measured lags by
6 to 12 months rents are already coming
down but CPI still sees them as trending
up and CPI hasn't caught the inflection
point yet so it actually means that real
renters today on the open market are
getting better deals on rent than they
were a few months ago
uh and CPI doesn't see it that way yet
so hence why some people call it the CP
lie now I know anecdotally a lot of
folks like to come out and go I don't
know man it seems like rents are only
going up just look at the data the data
says rents have already peaked we're not
going to go debate that here we've
debated that in plenty of other housing
videos so
my demands for today
and expectations 75 basis point hike
hawkish fit he's got a hawk he has to
Hawk because otherwise we're just going
to loosen Financial conditions and lead
to a stock market rally he doesn't want
a rally yet
let that come in December be patient
then I'd like to see this is my like to
so I expect 75 and I expect Hawk but I
would also like to see some clarity on
concerns around a wage price spiral and
insight into CPI shelter inflation and
if we actually get those two things
those two things could actually be
deemed dovish and so you could see what
sounds like a hawkish bed turned dovish
and bullish for markets so I'm
optimistic and hopeful but remember hope
is not an investing strategy thank you
so much for watching and we'll see in
the next one goodbye
