♪ all right, welcome back. sorry about those technical difficulties. now.ve recovered can't say the same about the markets, a downbeat monday for investors. juliette: that's right. we are seeing selling across the board today. we are waiting for a key speech from a female fed member. it is not janet yellen. it is one of the voting members. she is normally quite dovish. if she signals a hawkish tone upe her fed peers have come with that likelihood of a september rate hike back on the table. the moment, 30% chance of a september rate hike. 60% in december.

cba saying the u.s. economy is not strong enough to withstand to rate hike's this year. that nervousness and what we saw on wall street friday playing into markets here. we had huge volatility in the u.s. session on friday. the firsts 15 for time in 44 training sessions. a lot of volatility in asia, hang seng off by 2%, only two stocks in the black. off toi also being sold the tune of 1.6% today. we are seeing selling coming through in all the asia markets. japan off by 1.5%. strengthening, impacting. a mixed picture on the japanese economy. ppi showing deflationary pressures exist. in australia, weakness in commodity players, weighing on

the overall benchmark index, off by over 2%. willie parsons leading the parson -- willie daye: it is a remarkable today, also remarkable for samsung, plunging, check it out, 6.3% down after a told note offn users to turn their phone because there may be a fire hazard. the company has lost $20 billion in market cap since thursday. samsung announced a global recall more than a week ago. why is the stock reacting now? >> some investors still thought that it is just a temporary product pickup and they were not seeing a major downgrade until

recently. saw the risingey regulatory risk may hurt the company more than expected. the company has said they expect the cost to be about $1 billion, but then they may be assuming that some consumers may ask for a replacement unit. now it could be that they ask for a full refund given that they can't carry phones on the plane. angie: exactly. you buy a phone because you needed for your life. if you can't use it, you have to go somewhere else. exactly. note seven targets business users, so that could be a big deal. this is a huge reputational blow for samsung. how important are u.s. sales to samsung? regulatory agencies are pretty strict in the u.s., so if

samsung loses their foothold, that would hurt 20% of smart phone sales. angie: how has the negative news been priced in given today's plunge? >> as we spoke earlier, the impact on the brand equity would be more than earnings given that investors would be willing to pay a premium on the brand today'sso if we look at valuation after the plunge, it is trading at nine times forward earnings. it lost market share to apple, so it could go as low as eight times forward earnings. the could be more to calm. angie: all right, this is a nightmare scenario for samsung. so much for that. you can get more on that story of bloomberg.com. you can watch some of the on bloomberg today.

the boj may start adopting a new communications strategy. first, break down the numbers. >> what we saw today was a bit surprising. eatingmachine orders estimates, jumping 4.9%. analysts were expecting it to fall 2.9%. we have to take these numbers with a grain of salt because these are very fall until sets of data. pasts been erratic in the six months. earlier this year, we saw a jump of 50%, than april a plunge of 11%, now up 4.9%. a different story when it comes to wholesale prices, in the ppitive since april 2015, fell more than expected. companies are holding spending because we are seeing the

stronger yen, up 14% in the past year. we will see the central banks new communications strategy of not trying to surprise markets anymore. also, analysts are noting that perhaps this is a shift at boj? >> that communication tactic we are seeing is different with the boj. , communicating in a way that markets will respond positively hopefully for the boj, so last week we saw the boj governor haruhiko kuroda and his deputy explain the costs and before usingpolicy similar language, something we have not seen in the past. they went one step further to try to explain their negative rate tool, and at the same time one of the dangers of excessively low yields and long

maturity bonds. so we are now seeing the market starting to react to that. we are seeing that in the yield curve, a steeper yield curve, so take a look at this. central bankhe signal a preference for a significantly positive rate in that part of the long term, we are seeing that the yield curve is becoming steeper, that white line over there compared to the red line, which would be a month ago, and were seeing the 20 year yield above 0.4% after dipping to around zero earlier this this change in strategy by the boj may be starting to pay off. the bojysts are saying is changing its tactics to one that is more focused on dialogue with the market. importantlogue very from a governor who is notoriously keen on surprising the market.

>> exactly. angie: thank you so much for that. we are taking a look at markets right now, a massive selloff, including the hang seng market. fact, we are looking at the selloff in the hang seng because from the last trading day shanghai, so interesting note there. let's get some more insight. yes, a lot of notes coming through today, but one stock we are watching closely is samsung still being sold off on recall, downen 6.4% at the moment. this has taken two thirds off index.r all kospi you can see how much the stock is been under pressure, down 6.5% during friday's session as well, the biggest two-day drop we have seen in sam's son since

2008, about $20 billion wiped off its market value. since 2000 son\ eight, about $20 billion wiped off its market value. samsung continuing to be sold off, down 6% in korea. this is waiting to into other electronics companies as well. moon down 9%. we are seeing buying in insurance stocks in japan and korea. dongbu at an 11 week high after the bank of korea left interest rates on hold. i want to show you the energy stocks we have been watching in australia. oil continuing that the klein in asian trade, down 1.5%. decline inng that

asian trade, down 1.5%. origin energy coming under pressure. in asian trade, down 1.7% for the oil price, the u.s. nymex contract. oil lower, a lot of concern about the central bank, all weighing into this deep selling we are seeing across the market today. angie: deep selling despite better than expected machine orders out of japan. we are seeing asian stocks leading this morning. banks, special the boj, and focus today. put on your thinking cap and your diagnosis of the boj right now. essentially a a lot of people pressing that there needs to be action soon.

>> it is becoming incredibly boring. they say they will increase liquidity by buying government bonds. the markets got skittish. in the last two weeks, we have seen selloff of jgb's on the basis the boj will change policy. it won't. it can't. angie: you are saying the markets should return to jgb's? >> absolutely. there is nothing else they can do. they need to stop this nonsense that by buying paper assets it is going to cause prices to go up. it won't. they can start giving money to people and not to banks. when you give money to banks in a recessed economy, they will put it somewhere safe.

they will not spend it. thanks have started renting sa fes for storing money. , yeah,eutsche bank exactly. since nobody is giving them anything, with an economy that does not seem to be able to hit 2% and stay there, they will spend it, of course. angie: let's look at machine orders today. it was a robust figure, 4.9%. a lot of people got that wrong by a margin of 6%. this is something we have been harking on this whole time, if only businesses were confident and would invest more. >> this is been going on for six months. let's not move away from that.

it is based on three precepts. one is huge injections of the quiddity. second, fiscal policy that cannot make up its mind whether it is expansionary or contractionary, and the third arrow being structural reform. we have seen the first one. the second one is primarily on hold, and were seeing practically nothing on the third one. they better start doing what they said they were going to do. angie: do you bet against japan in the short-term? >> very much so. they are not doing what they said they are supposed to be doing. best-known primarily to politics rather than to economics, we have decided the economy japan is not going to move and less as a government and as a bank is going to do something. i feel very uncomfortable about that. literally waiting

to see what they are going to do. angie: you and i both know they have tried for 20 years, lost decades it has been described as , but this really is the first time we are seeing coordination, right? monetary and possibly fiscal. we saw the budget stimulus coming in. things was yet another that when i read about it, i started to laugh. i'm sorry. i'm still laughing. come on, please, give me a break. problem. a huge major address it, address it massively. i'm exaggerating. has shinzoour view,

abe and haruhiko kuroda lost credibility? , prices goncrease up. and when ian old man was in my prime, milton friedman was the highest god in the sky. on prices of assets, not goods. haruhiko kuroda is 50 years behind. i'm sure he wears flared trousers. angie: he looks pretty stylish. whether or not his style of monetary policy is modern, that is to be argued, and certainly you have made that argument. i do want to know if you don't think that those ideas aren't working, so what ideas are working? get you on the

positive side and 20 minutes for the rest of the discussion. coming up next, yahoo japan tried to merge with yahoo! before the deal, but why was the proposal rebuffed? more on that coming up next. this is bloomberg. ♪

story. first, why make an offer? we all knew that yahoo! was in talks with verizon to sell itself. why was this in there? it was most likely a hedge. the bids range from $3 billion to just under $5 billion, and this looks like it came in just izon's deal. it was probably based on the thought that a combined yahoo! may have been able to turn things around, but there were other parts of the deal that did not make sense come the tax treatment of yahoos ownership and alibaba, so ultimately it was doomed. with the deal have brought any benefit? -- would the deal have brought any benefit? >> yahoo! and yahoo japan many years ago kind of took different

.aths yahoo! in the u.s. found itself against formidable competition in the form of google and facebook. japan, yahoo! has become the ebay of the country and it is still a major web portal with news, mail, as well as being the brand for softbank's telecommunications business. findingrms of synergies, whether technological or in terms of market share, that would have been rather tough i think. the main thing they shared was the name yahoo!. angie: all right. we will leave it there. thank you so much for that. we are still engaged in watching the markets right now as they take a tumble and follow the lead on friday. .ou are watching "asia edge" plenty more still to come after the short break. this is bloomberg. ♪

since the 24th of june, down by 2.7%. under players coming quite a lot of selling pressure due to the fact we are continuing to see a selloff in u.s. nymex oil. the shanghai market also heavily sold off as it heads into its lunch break. it is down over 2%. ,orea having a bad day as well samsung shares accounting for two thirds of the drop on the kospi index. the nikkei extending its selloff, stronger yen playing into things, a mixed picture on the economic front as well. we have machine orders looking showingor july, but ppi we are seeing the factory floor in deflationary mode. taking a hit on the asx 200, commodity prices.

the new zealand market off by 2.5%, the worst day we have seen in new zealand's market in about four years. this is the state of play across asian markets. not looking like a good session at all angie. angie: all right. thanks. oil extending declines following the biggest drop in more than a month after u.s. producers increased drilling despite the glut. ok, tell us more about this bearish sentiment. is falling again for a second day today. $45, brent around trading around $47. there is quite a bit of bearish sentiment. rigs drilling for oil in the u.s. rose for a second week on friday, 414 rigs drilling for oil in the u.s., the highest

since february, so clearly u.s. producers are getting back into the market and think they can make money and will try to boost production, so that is weighing on prices. the second factor remains the glut here and there is still an oversupply in the u.s., inventories are more than $100 million above -- 100 million barrels above the average, so that's why you're seeing the market fall for a second day today. why might opec producers then prefer voluntary output caps to a production freeze? >> that is the other thing folks were talking about. opec members are planning to meet in algiers later this month along with some non-opec members, including russia. to thef the talk up meeting has been about a potential freeze to production, a production limit, but it seems

like that talk is shifting now towards these voluntary output cap's that would allow each country to name their production limit. bearishy that is quite for the market, but there could be interest from opec in doing this. they obviously want to achieve some unity and want to avoid what happened earlier this year when there was another meeting and they failed to come to an agreement because iran would not agree to limit production. toy are returning international markets after sanctions were lifted in january. so this might provide some starting point comes impunity, even if they agree to voluntary that each country would decide for themselves, but that is bearish for the market as well. angie: thank you so much for that. in other news, the greek prime minister has repeated his call for debt relief, saying the country needs stability, not elections. he spoke as opinion polls showed

he has fallen afoul of the authorities. he was in violation of serious this plenary violations. that usually mean some form of corruption are taking bribes. states what the tianjin run newspaper said, anyone who violates party discipline will be sternly dealt with no matter who it is, no matter what post. thisbly he also had umbrella of protection back in august of last year when there it was that massive explosion and fire ball at the port from hazardous material being stored in legally at the port. 165 people were killed. we have that aftermath footage here. many executives as well as some local authorities were sacked because of that, but he was fairly protected. however, that protection seems to be running out because of these latest charges. probably not related, but you don't know.

that umbrella protection is no longer above his head. angie: two perceptions from the general public, going after his own guys. second one internally is that someone loyal to xi jinping, you can't be protected, so where is the loyalty? how does this affect upper tier leadership? >> there will be a shakeup of the committee next year as well as the 25 member politburo. there is a central committee meeting in beijing next month, all the contraries across china are jockeying for position. it is a highly politicized environment right now among coming his party leaders and middle tier technocrats. probably know that was -- you know that huang was probably lobbying hard to become the party boss. there has been an investigation. , hehe party boss of tianjin

hillary clinton has canceled plans to campaign in california on monday and tuesday because on sunday she left a 9/11 commemoration ceremony early and the video is doing the rounds showing her needing help to get into her official car. it has revived questions about her health, physically and politically, i guess. exactly. she has canceled events in california for monday and tuesday. a fundraisertend and appear on the ellen degeneres show. and donald trump attended a 9/11 commemoration event yesterday at ground zero. thestander notice she left service early and shot some video of it, which he posted on twitter that has been picked up and reposted by the big networks. you see her standing and waiting for the car and appearing to stumble and perhaps need assistance to get into the car.

he posted on twitter simply title, hillary clinton, 9/11, n.y.c.. she had been diagnosed with pneumonia and had become overheated and dehydrated. she was given antibiotics and advised to modify her scheduled to get some rest. nowe is video of her showing her need assistance to get in the car, so reviving all these questions. we expect to qualities from political candidates, but at the same time we know their schedules are relentless. how does one even find time to sleep, let alone rest, let alone recover from pneumonia? a key question is what republicans will be doing about this. how will they be using this as a political foil? >> bloomberg has been told that donald trump does not plan to do anything with it. apparently he will stay quiet with it.

believe it for trump is a defining moment for the campaign. the problem is whether trump can stay on message and refrain from saying anything about it. has been criticized for trying to highlight hillary clinton's health issues, saying they had been spinning conspiracy theories. with the latest event, it's difficult to manage it further. clinton has a narrow lead over donald trump, but because of the delay between the pneumonia diagnosis and her campaign releasing this information about the fact she had pneumonia after the 9/11 commemoration, her departure from that early, there was concern that maybe voters may be less confident in her. with her use of private e-mail as secretary of state and also the ties to donors to the clinton

foundation, so these questions may fuel into them. weekss several important leak coming up. one person on twitter said the more you focus on her health, donalde you ignore trump's taxes and trump university. another question, what happens if hillary clinton is genuinely ill and not able to continue hurt candidacy? which is a good question. next, theing up latest dose of china data due tomorrow. our guest ishy feeling optimistic. this is bloomberg. ♪

-- my answer is they won't. they will be hard put to say we will increase rates. november is election. the fed has got a very ofsistent track record raising interest rates right before and right after an election. maybe they are politicizing it by not doing anything? >> it is not true that during an election the fed says they will wait, no. interest ratesd just before and right after an election. if they don't do anything in september, then october is out, november is out, and then christmas time. merry christmas, world,

fed rate increase. what about china? how close are they looking at china? some datang to get that could possibly show stabilization. >> yeah, they will look at china, but it is not one of their priorities. exports to china is 1/10 of 1% of gdp. angie: ok. let's shift out to china here. it is the world's second-largest economy. it has been the workhorse of the global economy. >> don't start me on that. angie: we could argue that. >> they are still growing at 6.9%. as long as retail sales don't come below 10%, i am happy. 20%stment has come from
