9:05 pm
the same number as the leading abe's own. andin if you look at the budget on how much money they have left over, there is only 2 million, ¥3 trillion what that means is that you do any serious stimulus, any kind of extra spending, you're going to have to issue extra revenue bonds. abe mention they would bring forward the construction of the train line to hokkaido, but he is not given details on what the money will be spent on from that. angie: is this really pressure on her hugo kuroda and the bank of japan? mean for monetary policy? james: the yen was very strong. it wast until yesterday,
9:06 pm
quite strong. that was one of the reasons people were saying the bank of japan would be forced to ease, because the yen had strengthened to that point. with the yen weakening, it may be relieving pressure on the boj at the end of the month. inflation is still low. in actual fact, their prices are falling now. while the pressure from the strengthening yen may have bank ofed for the japan, there's so the real economy with deflation and also with lackluster growth. it is still making the case that the boj should ease more and there is still a lot of expectation the boj is going to add to their stimulus to try and assist the economy. to be enough?oing i mean, look at the japanese economy right now. it is still in a funk. james: that is true. a lot of people were saying that
9:07 pm
there were marginal dancer many increase in bonds, for example, is diminishing. the if the boj does more, effect is not going to be the same as it was in october 2014 or march 2013. i guess the real question is, there are two questions. will the boj do anything? is it really going to have the effect they are looking for? that is what the bank of japan would be considering for the end of the month. governor kuroda and preminger imee --primus abbe -- pr minister abe. he followed the japanese economy quite closely. ago about what the boj should be doing. i think that discussion will be very interesting. angie: central banker emeritus. thank you so much for that. it will be interesting to see

9:18 pm
and stimulus bets. my guest things the volatility index shows less concern for risk. investors may be getting too complacent in equity markets. eo of td ameritrade asia. we got a sense of that with the rally event extended globally right here in asia, back to levels pre-brexit, but everyone knows that perhaps this is a temporary reprieve. you still got to take the profit now when you can get it. sure, angie. i think so. good morning. look, last week you saw the 10%, and i think investors are getting a little bit complacent on the u.s. side. however, as u.s. equities continue to make all-time highs and treasuries make all-time lows, it is basically the best place for them to put their money.
9:19 pm
as they are chasing yield or value, the u.s. equities seems to be relatively, at relative strength right now as well as the market in the u.s.. angie: we have got earnings coming out. just based on the past performance of u.s. equities over the past couple of quarters, don't you think that perhaps we could see some upside here in this quarter? definitely. look, as i have talked to other people about this, the last couple quarters, their earnings, expectations were not all that inflated. the earnings definitely has a chance, if it beats to the upside because of the downward revisions we have been given. we have a few different factors coming into play. it's going to help with market clarity, and markets always liked clarity. i say it all the time. we have theresa may being put in place in the u k. it gives a little more
9:20 pm
stability from britain. we have the earnings season kicked off this morning. we are going to have some bank earnings coming out later this week. that is going to hopefully give us a little more clarity because i think you are going to see some downward revisions on the bank earnings, revenues going forward, because of the low interest rate environment we have been in for this period of time. definitely some things to look out for. we absolutely could see an upside to this earnings season. angie: absolutely, financial getting kicked with the low interest rate environment. that looks like it is going to be low for some time. christopher: yes. i mean, look, if you look at the meet your later this month, the likelihood that they raise rates is becoming less and less a likelihood. i was firmly in the camp that they were going to raise rates to more times in 2016, but after -- thisrised mexico,
9:21 pm
surprise brexit vote, the likelihood that they raise interest rates 25 basis points to more times in 2016 seems very unlikely. you still have some analysts coming out and saying that there is a possibility they will raise rates to more times in 2016, however, if you look at the fed funds futures market, and what traders are betting on, essentially december is only showing a slightly over 20% chance that they raise interest rates only one time for the remainder of 2016. so, just wanting a kind of want to point out. if you go back to the horrible lookobs report, and no you at the great jobs report here in june, janet yellen came out after the may jobs report and said, look, don't take all credence into one job report. the june jobs report comes out last week, and everybody forgot about may. do not put all your credence just into one jobs report. we have to have some type of
9:22 pm
follow-through and gets more stability and till the fed actually has some type of ammunition and order to raise rates going forward. angie: look, i just want to point out that divergent view here. andrally hits s&p high, then we got bond yields plummeting. what gives here? gold we have got continuing to give. gold continuing to rise. something has got to give. christopher: all-time is on the money market. right now, -- all-time lows on the bond market. they are taking a more risk on approach or state haven approach to gold. picks in gold stock the gold sector. and the treasuries
9:23 pm
equity side of things, it is basically the best place that people are looking for for valley. -- for value. we have this big economic stimulus going to possibly come out in japan. all of the things are going to factor into that plan. angie: problem is, that places -- a rock andnd a a hard one. trending business, coming up. this is bloomberg. ♪

9:33 pm
tribunal gives its ruling on a dispute between china and the philippines. we have tom mackenzie taking a look for us. just how significant to this ruling be for this region? come from aing will rather obscure arbitration panel, but this is going to be of great significance. they could really change the dynamics of the dispute in the south china sea. we have seen a flavor of this, perhaps a flurry from the u.s. and china leading up to this. the chinese saying they have 60 nations encouraging their claim. they have put up a lot of pressure in the state media to drive home their campaign. we saw military exercises by china over the weekend. how they react will be crucial. what went into this dispute and why it is so controversial, take a watch.
9:34 pm
regional friction over territorial disputes in the south china sea has been ramping up months. this will likely put fuel on the flames. the philippines launched the case in 2013 in a challenge to beijing's claim of what that 80% of the south china sea. the u.s. says under president xi, equipping some with sports and runways. the the philippines acted after they seized the shole. it has unnerved neighbors including malaysia and vietnam which have competing claims to this stretch of water. $5 trillion worth of trade passes through the south china sea every year. it is home to rich stocks of fish and significant oil and gas reserves. beijing says it has a pistol work right to islands in the area of the sea spanning almost 1800 kilometers.
9:35 pm

9:36 pm
nationalism, but on the ground, ease back on some of the tensions. 80 pulling back some of its patrols -- may be pulling back some of its patrols. that is one end of the spectrum. the other end, beijing could have a much stronger stance. it could ramp up patrols in the region. 9-line.d codify this you could also put into place an air defense identification zone which could cause of issues for the u.s. the u.s. response will be very interesting as well. how they will carry out their freedom of navigation exercises to drive home to the chinese that they see these as international waters. then, we have the role of the philippines. president wants a slightly closer relationship with china. how he works the philippine response.
9:37 pm
then, vietnam has a claim to the south china sea and may put its own case over towards this panel. there are a lot of moving parts. , they are bound by international law to abide by the ruling. china has said it will not do it. what kind of enforcement action can we expect, if any, from the international community? tom: that is right. china has said it does not see the panel having any jurisdiction. ever since the case was launched in 2013. the decision cannot be enforced by the panel, by the united nations, but it can damage china's international relations. you can possibly strengthen calls in the region for china to step back. it could solidify any
9:38 pm
partnership in the region when it comes to confronting china on this. of course, the u.s. response. freedom ofease its navigation exercises to try to drive home these waterways have $5 trillion of trade every year should remain open. the response from beijing and washington will be absolutely crucial. angie: china growing military power and the world's second-largest economy. it will be very interesting to watch how this plays out today. thank you for that, tom mckenzie. well, over to the u.k. right now where home secretary theresa may is set to take over as prime minister as soon as wednesday, after her arrival went out of the race. we have rosalind chin taking a
9:39 pm
look at what the social media has to say. rosalind: finally, some signs of stability. having the next prime minister in place will help smooth stability. there are always people's comments who can stir things up. one is this person on twitter saying, he was running scared after 2007. what they are referring to is back in 2007 when gordon took over from tony blair, there was no election. he was given the place in the transition. it was criticized and called for an election. we are seeing plenty of posts on --ial media saying she had
9:40 pm
bringing up a quote from the past -- no mandate to rule the country. there are pictures like this making the rounds on twitter. similar ones bringing back theresa may's work. she is effectively going to do the same thing. she will take over from david cameron without an election. the s postponing election. labour and liberal democrats want it held earlier than this. with all the other things going on, including having to steer the country at of the european union, that is on tap. angie: such a long time away. what about david cameron? : david cameron saying he will resign on wednesday. things that social

9:50 pm
challenging. domhnal: brazil is such a huge economy. there was often it being called the country of tomorrow and it always will be. it is a very cyclical market. the economy is so large. angie: let's bring it back home because when you take a look at china, this space is exciting. what are chinese airlines doing? we are hearing from air asia. they are buying. what is the strategy for airlines? domhnal: china is probably, in the next 20 years, the biggest aviation market in the world. today, it is the biggest aviation market in the world. chinese airlines are growing at a significant clip. parent company is the fourth-largest airline in china. the prospects for chinese aviation are explosive. they are significantly under ordered in aircraft demand for

9:56 pm
toyota to task for investing in uber and collaborating with the company. toyota is on the defensive. the federation spoke to toyota himself and he assured them they would not be partnering with uber in japan. it is interesting to see these close allies really kind of at odds over the fact toyota and uber are are getting together. angie: how challenging has it been for uber to get traction in japan? craig: here in tokyo, it is really difficult to find an uber available. it is a system that you are only driversaccess through that are working with taxi organizations. it is really limited. uber's usefulness in japan. angie: craig, thank you for that. coming up, brexit makes yuan the
