rishaad: it's monday, november 9. this is "trending business," and i am rishaad salamat it. coming online in singapore and beijing, here is a look at what we are watching. china's challenges. expectations of more government intervention. exports fall again, leaving another record trade surplus. strugglinga to survive, still down about 40% this month alone.

has jumbo found the recipe for success? let us know what you think of our top stories. follow us on twitter. that's my handle. find out what is happening with stocks starting out the week in a positive note, although there has been a switch out of some of these minors, hasn't there been, juliet? juliet: we are seeing share 200, down byasx 1.1%. ,e are seeing big falls particularly from the index leader. the terrible disaster in brazil waiting on its success. about .5%.down by the region is getting a boost from japan after the strong session on friday. the nikkei 225, earnings really impressing the market. gains in taiwan, which has just come online.

a little bit of a little bit of the switch out of the malaysian sharemarket on the open, and we are seeing good gains in new zealand, up by 2/10 of 1%. this is the picture on the overall region. we can see the switch out of oil and gas stocks waiting on australia, and basic materials stocks coming under pressure. good gains coming through on health care and natural stocks, leading the gains across the region. let's have a look at some of the movers in the region. rising by itsly daily limit. it is currently up by 14%. they are having a strong session in japan. coming under pressure due to that mining disaster in brazil, and new crest mining in australia, the largest gold player, being hit hard by weekend commodity prices. -- weakened commodity prices. rishaad: back to our main story, disappointing numbers,

offering a little encouragement in china, and indeed ramping up the pressure for more government intervention. here is heidi. heidi: it is all looking very , down about fact 7%. let's take a look at the details. exports missed the mark by a large margin. this is twice as bad as bloomberg economists had been expecting. remember, the government had put in place six interest rate cuts over the past year alone and a number of easing measures am a but this is a global slowdown story. interest rate cuts help chinese companies, or to clearly state owned companies with high debt burdens. -- particularly state-owned companies with high debt burdens. taking a look at the first 10 months, exports to japan were

down almost 10%, hong kong, almost 1% lower, so this paints the picture of a regional and global slowdown. imports, also missing the mark. we didn't see an improvement, a decline of 19% for october. this is showing that while china sneezes, the rest of the world d.imports from australia were down over 25% . we are seeing that in sydney today. there was a little bit of a bright spot, -- rather come over the weekend, and that was in china foreign exchange reserves. we did have record numbers when it comes to capital outflows, $93 billion in august. that has picked up. we are seeing the first pick up in china's foreign exchange reserves in six months. really, i guess, putting a little more confidence in the yuan.

we also had the effect of that stock rally. shanghai stocks returning to the all market, picking up 11% in october, and policymakers putting in place new ways to deter capital outflows, illegal money transfers out of the country. all of seems to be bearing some fruit. rishaad: thanks. of course, we will have a deeper look at that story later in the show. tweet us your thoughts to @risha adtv. singapore's chili crab train debut, theits company seeking $30 million in its ipo, making it the biggest in the city state this year. it's on an absolute tear, isn't it, haslinda? haslinda: yeah, an increase of 50%, a delicious debut. the ticket to watch on the sb,mberg terminal is jumbo everyone wanting a piece of it.

are close to the heart of singapore, so demand has been growing, and jumbo has said it's using the money to opened new outlets, including in china, where it already operates . it is also looking to upgrade existing outlets, get new equipment and machinery. interesting to note that it big-name shareholders come including state investment company temasek holdings, as well as a company that makes massage chairs. sellse it or not, jumbo about 1.4 tons of crab day at its restaurants in singapore. the company has grown more than 30% annually over the last few years with profit for the first half of this year totaling about $5 million. some would question the timing of this ipo following the recent in china, butown the company says, don't worry.

the easing will not rock its business, which it expects to be resilient. chili crabs for you? rishaad: i'm not so sure actually. i have mixed feelings. [laughter] at what elselook is making headlines. here is rosalind chin for the roundup. rosalind: takata has slashed profit forecasts by 75% as its biggest customers lose faith and walk away. net income is expected to fall from ¥20 billion to just y5 billion. takata posted a loss of $70 million in the second quarter, and that's exactly related to product recalls. their faulty airbags can fire shrapnel into the cabin, and they have been linked to serious injuries and deaths. is the latest automaker to drop the airbags, along with other automakers.

to shiva shares are tumbling after it said it is suing five former executives over accounting irregularities. three those are former toshiba presidents. there's an investigation into thatnting irregularities started in april. toshiba has lost about one third of its value since then. fined ¥91 million by the turkish stock exchange in september, and there could be more fines coming. earnings, out over the weekend, so net income rose to ¥46.8 billion. that was helped by asset sales. the consolidated forecast for the full year of 2015 has yet to isreleased, as the company

challenging businesses, and the company says it is assessing the impacts. a cut in annual profit forecasts by 14%. net income is expected to come in at ¥91 billion, $750 million. this is the japanese contractor, which is under investigation because of the building that is tilting over. the housing business accounted of their profit last year. the company admitted data linked to other projects, and it will have to check the condition of more than 3000 buildings it has worked on over the past 10 years. the fallout iss too difficult estimate and has not been included in the revision.

rishaad: just have a look at our website. we are looking at the real capital class, why australia is supplying live cows to china on a 747. program, later on this we will get a head start on the week as we look ahead to some of the key economic data coming out of this part of the world. after the short break, cloudy with a chance of volatility. our next guest looks at the chances of a lift off in the u.s. and how central banks in asia may well respond. ♪

rishaad: you are back with "trending business."looking at the odds of the fed rate hike because they've shot up for next month after that amazing number, that huge jump in u.s. jobs. it lets get more on that and what it means for asian markets. joining us is ig strategist evan

lucas. great to see you. we often start questioning what chinese data is telling us, and then we get these two numbers. september, that was an aberration, and last month's number, another aberration. what gives? is it better to take an average of the two. either way, it looks like december is going to be a go. it's a very big turnaround from what happened in september to october, 270 6000 jobs, a staggering figure considering how low it was the month before. we are now expecting about 170,000. i think you have to take an average of that figure from september and october. throw in august, as well, considering how low that was, and you come to just around 200,000 jobs added. although the market has moved to that number, the highest level it has priced in for a december

hike -- economists forecasting a hold have basically moved. they say it needs to be your base case. a rate hike in 2015, a first move from the fed since 2006 to the rate hike side. rishaad: bond markets reacted. the currency was a big mover. equity investors were fairly sanguine about it, weren't they? evan: i think the way to look at theyquity market is that are expecting this to happen. we keep seeing it in the doty plots. what we saw with the nonfarm payrolls from august through september, the base case was they were going to raise rates a little bit this year. it is nice to see. it we are not talking about a taper tantrum or some rate hike hysteria. it's more like, we knew this was coming. is it going to be a drag on what we saw withexpectations ye

market so far hasn't said that. the question you've got to ask is, how much of the -- of an effect does it have on the u.s. dollar? it has rebounded into the pound and the euro, as well. the u.s. dollar is having a huge impact. it is really impacting topline growth, and for the first time i post-gst, youince had topline growth that didn't beat expectations on a 50% basis or more. that needs to be factored into your rate expectations. her to do that on the 17th of december. rishaad: looking at this part of in world, do we see gain cash, running out of the rupiah? evan: yes, you can certainly see the possibility of outflows. there's a building expectation

there will besia, an epicenter of pressure. you need to start looking at places like malaysia, thailand, vietnam that also may see that outflow. it will be an interesting push-pull factor. how much do they do into 2016? are expecting rate hikes. that would accelerate the u.s. dollar and accelerate emerging-market exits. it will be interesting how the central banks react to your. how do they continue their growth? liabilityve quite a to u.s. debt, and that will be the 20 16th aim, unfortunately. theme, unfortunately. rishaad: china, an opposite story, an economy faltering given the trade numbers. probably,t stimulus almost certainly, and we think that will play out in these emerging markets.

i6 evan: would have to evan: agree. i think what you saw. i would have to agree. i think what you saw with the chinese seeing a 6% growth year on year, that's a huge impact. for us in australia, it was a 24.9% decline year on year. that's a staggering figure. commodities-led boom in australia is slowing, but also in places like malaysia, indonesia need to be very aware that if imports into china are slowing that much, they will have to start looking elsewhere. that brings back pressure on to the u.s. dollar debt problem. you are right. we have had six rate hikes in china in the last 12 months. it means we could see another one before december 31. how much is that going to uptick gdp? medium to high level gdp growth is needed over the next five years. you would have to build in a base case that you are going to

see the pboc move again. it puts more pressure on emerging markets and how they moderate the china slowdown we are seeing. rishaad: just picking up on what you said about u.s. earnings, the most important bellwether as it comes to the global economy, they said it was the worst burning season since 2009. picking up on what you are saying come it wasn't really, was it? yeah, you do have to caveat -- the headlines running around the weekend were, it's the worst since 2009. if you look at materials and energy, it was a fairly standard if not slightly better u.s. earnings season. most had about 5%, 6%. apf numbers were 71% beat on expectations. it was a fairly standard u.s.

earnings season. look inside the biomedical space, which has been beaten up this year. it you are right, there needs to --a caveat, but if it needs starts to filter through on consumer discretionary, financials if, that starts to come home, you will start to see 2016 being a choppy year. rishaad: have a good week. evan lucas joining us from ig in melbourne. we are going to have a look at some stories making headlines around the world. to brazil, prosecutors are planning to request a suspension of the operating licenses of mines owned by bhp billiton. the search continues for victims of the massive mudslide that was triggered by ruptured dams in the iron ore project there. bhp says at least 15 people are still missing. the chief executive is fine to brazil today. deutsche bank says the cleanup task could exceed $1 billion to support her of myanmar's

hong kong stock exchange, the cicc. this is the first foreign investment bank based in china. $811 million here, and as you can see, it's rising in its trading debut. this is the premarket action, six or seven minutes away from the open. this was offered at $10.28 apiece. that's the top end of the market range. we understand this is five times oversubscribed by retail investors. a strong start. the financial-related ipos we've seen this year have been popular among investors, given the rally in the chinese markets, the roller coaster rally. cicc raising money to expand its equity sales, trading, wealth management, and international businesses. this all follows on the shanghai composite surge from that august low.

going to the market now, and the deal, by the way, adds $25 billion -- adds to, rather, the $25 billion raised this year alone on the hong kong stock exchange by first time share sales per that is a 42% increase from the same time in 2014. we are seeing a banner year for those offerings. as we take a look, $10.90, that is where we are right now. $10.28, a 6%d at advance for china international capital. rishaad: let's take a look at what else is going on. a tradingsantos in hole, announcing plans to raise $2.5 billion, but why? they want to cut debt. we've seen that a crew because of the plunge in global energy prices. santos will also sell half $1 billion worth of shares and offload its stake in the kipper

fraction at the moment, and it's a mix to morning generally in this part of the world, and trying to fathom what is going on is juliet. juliet: we've seen quite a bit of weakness coming through in the region in the morning session, although the shanghai market did open slightly weaker, now up by about 2/10 of 1%. we are seeing a little bit of a pickup, but certainly a volatile session. the week china trade data has been weighing on the markets in australia, but we are seeing a little bit of a pickup in the early session. the hang seng index, down by 6/10 of one then percent. zeb has talking about the strong .hsbc of cicc , the best performer coming through on the hang seng index, up over 1%. a little bit of a pickup in casino stocks. generally, a weaker start of the session in hong kong. also seeing weakness in malaysia, singapore, despite the

strong debut of jumbo holdings. elsewhere, taiwan is looking quite good, as is new zealand, but it is australia that is seeing quite a bit of weakness coming through, particularly from the mining players. bhp billiton has been coming under pressure, as well, due to the mining disaster we've seen in brazil. bykorea, the kospi, down 4/10 of 1% in the early session. weakness coming through on stocks that have been fallen by more than 10%, so that is weighing on the kospi and the yuan. handshake 70as a years in the making, and it lasted more than a minute. the leaders of china and taiwan, meeting face-to-face for the first time since 1945. bloomberg news' reporter at large is here. it was hugely symbolic. >> it is very symbolic. it's the first handshake between

leaders from taiwan and china, ,or the first time since 1949 and therefore, it has served huge historic symbol laws them. -- symbolism. rishaad: the man on the left, he can't stand again in taiwan for the presidency. ting: he is retiring. rishaad: he has to constitutionally, right? ting: he has served two terms. one of the purposes for this summit was to lock in the progress he has made for the , economicars cooperation. rishaad: does this have any implications for the upcoming elections in the next couple months? want to see how it exactly affects election results, because we have seen many poor results coming.

the disappointing numbers offer little encouragement and ramp up pressure for more government intervention. tom all look is in beijing. with chinese exports, it's not looking good, is it, this growth outlook? tom: i think the challenge for china is that they've got weak domestic demand with trouble in the real estate sector and weak external demand with exports contracting, and those things are happening at the same time. that's why there is so much concerned that china's growth is .eak at the moment a going forward, the outlook isn't much stronger. rishaad: yeah, and looking at what happened with the currency reserves, they are up. that is something that hasn't been the trend of late. has there been a panic over the yuan? pretty much over with?

tom: i think it's kind of a complex picture. back in august, the pboc did that need to valuation of the -- that mini-devaluation of the yuan. and in august and september, there were quite sharp falls in chinese foreign exchange reserves, outflows of funds from china, and that contributed to a sense of pen, a sense that the only way was for the -- sense of panic, a sense that that was the only way for the yuan to fall. october's numbers were a little more robust. we had a surprise increase in foreign exchange reserves are the obvious interpretation of that is that the panic on china's currency is over, and capital flows across the border are more balanced. that said, it could be a bit more complicated. china's central bank seems to have found different ways of managing pressure on the currency, channeling intervention through state-owned banks, rather than doing it

itself using its foreign exchange reserve, and intervening in the forward markets, and what that might mean is them even though the fx reserve numbers rose slightly, there is a lot going on behind the scenes as china's central bank struggles to control the currency. rishaad: tom, thank you very much, joining us from beijing, bloomberg intelligence's chief asian economist. commenten declined to on reports that a whistleblower flagged problems in october. vw is examining its emissions testing procedure. it's raised estimates for the potential financial fallout to more than nine doing dollars. alibaba stepped up its video streaming strategy, agreeing to buy a youtube-like site. the unit is said to be worth $4.8 billion in total. alibaba, raising its initial offer by eight dollars.

of dams at the iron ore project. bhp says it needs at least -- at least 15 people are still missing. >> we need to do a full investigation about things that may have happened in the past, but right now, my sole focus is very much on making people safe and thinking about how we can clean up the impact of this. let's bring in bloomberg news's david stringer. this stock took an absolute hammer he in london -- hammering in london friday. how is it doing in australia, and what is the latest on this disaster, as well? david: that's right. bhp shares are down in australia this morning, understandably so on the back of the news from last week, and bhp has been talking a little more this morning about the incident in brazil. we certainly know little more about what happened, though not

necessarily why the accident happened. explained that the dams were three-tiered, three dams stacked on top of each other, at its joint venture operation in brazil. venture,, its joint they are monitoring that third dam. while the cause hasn't been established, we do know state prosecutors have said workers were raising the height of one of the dams when this incident took place. it is not yet clear if that is connected to this breach. bhp has also said that at least one person is dead. there are 15 -- i'm sorry, 13 workers unaccounted for and 15 local residents still missing. searches remain ongoing in brazil. awful.:

what about the potential ramifications for bhp-violate? are they likely to face fines, or are there more drastic actions? david: that's right, all of those things are a prospect, and the first piece of action that will take place is in brazil. state prosecutors will request the suspension of the license. that could be followed by potential civil investigations, and some lawyers suggest potentially criminal operation -- investigations. it is likely they will be fined, compensation to follow. when estimate suggests the joint venture could face fines as much as $30 million. the cleanup bill is likely to be more hefty, deutsche bank saying that that alone could top about $1 billion. rishaad:rishaad: thanks a lot for that, david stringer joining us. coming up on the other side of the break, china's slowdown hits exports.

rate hike in september. we still think january or february is more likely. you have seen the fed vacillate before, so if you get the market selling off this week and next week, a poor payroll in december, they might change. rishaad: why do it just beforerishaad: -- just before christmas? mark: it's not really fair, is it? it make sense if you look at janet yellen's history that they wait longer, and we think they will. rishaad: we've also got -- market pmi's in europe. there are signs of improvement, or are there? mark: there are signs of improvement everywhere. if you look at all the pmi data over the last two months, service companies, the financials, the telecoms, they are doing pretty well. it's the manufacturing side, which is been difficult. consumer growth in the u.s. has been picking up. same in europe. overall, the picture is looking optimistic. rishaad: your verdict?

have a lot of patience. it seems this time, unlike 25 wins,ago, that if the nld they will allow it to pass. or will it be more complicated than that? bridget: i think it probably will be complicated. they have in the system for themselves. they had 25% of the seats, they control key positions of the national security council and they still control the election commission. there are some initial concerns about the electoral process. these things are still playing out and they will be playing out in the next few days. they have constitutional procedures, and one of the important elements is that suu

kyi is barred from being president, so someone else will have to be president by proxy or there will have to be another set of negotiations. she has declared that she can be above the president. what does she mean by that and as she clarified her position? bridget: she hasn't, and i think it is best for her to clarify it. people have analyzed to comparing her role to sonja gandhi in the congress party. what she seems to imply was that she will be these -- will be the main person to make the decisions. the question will be whether or not that is acceptable to the military and the ruling party. i think this is something that is going to play out in the next series of months. we don't's -- we don't expect a government here until possibly

bridget: there are three different sets of issues we look at free and fair elections. manipulation,tic consistent with serious problems. you've a situation where rural votes are weighted heavily, the military facilities have a lot of control in terms of advanced course, theof constitution ensures that the military gets 25%. the second areas have to do with kind of administrative problems. i think the big problem has been disenfranchisement on the voter list. very large group of populations. these other questions that people are asking now in assessing it.

i think most people feel the .ystem has had minimal aspects vote buying did occur. we see that there were some attempts at fraud, but we have to wait until we see the actual results. advanced voting, the voting that comes particularly from government service and the military, which is not really observed by outer polling agencies. the second is the election commission controls all the assessments of the complaints and rule out different candidates. numbers -- this is why these things are being watched very carefully. i think this is an election that is much better than people far,ted, and i think so
