anna: the collapse could be the industry's lehman moment. welcome to the program. it is 5:00 in london and i am anna edwards. anie: and i'm angie lau. welcome to "bloomberg markets." you side, the u.s. markets reacted to one fed governor sounding more hawkish on friday. from brainerd, who is a dove, ahead of this silent period. and she moved the markets as well. anna: the markets where primed to find out how dovish she would be. will she stick to that script and she kind of did, didn't she? some of that is wearing off in the asian session a little bit, isn't it?

when we look at the u.s. future picture, it looks a little bit less bright. so, let's listen to what brainerd had to say, talking about less urgency than others at the fed, and talking about the need for patience. the extent that the effect on inflation of further gradual tightening and labor market conditions is likely to be moderate and gradual, the case to tighten policy preemptively is less compelling. anna: making the case therefore patience. -- making the case there for patience. it seems the fed might be on her side. heir investors are urging t fellow investors not to make all of their decisions based on the bloomberg work function. the markets are really making up from the doldrums in recent days. angie: that is certainly true.

you know what is waking up as well? volatility. i want to show you my bloomberg right now, where we have a chart lynch,e b of a merrill the global stress financial index. i want you to note on the far right, that huge spike we circled in red. that is a one-day move as volatility awakens. volatility, you could say back surged on. markets, friday by the most since august of last year. a tightran out of trading range. let's get more on the markets in this region. said,er: angie, as anna we have pulled back a little bit from the relief rally with a earlier in the session. we can see some weakness coming

through in japan. it has been fluctuating between positive and negative territory, but the stronger yen is impacting the japanese market, down by .1% in the afternoon session. australia is only up by .1%, despite a gain of .7% on the open, and the fact of course, that we did have better than expected data out of china. and you can see all of this red here. either of the markets that were closed during the holiday. so, coming back online, and you can see that catch up selling coming through, following through from the big sell off we saw in this region on monday. the hope that we would see a little bit more of the rally has faded, that we still can't the hang gains on hant seng, up by .8%. career,a little bit -- a little bit more supported by

the fact that we do have samsung rebounding. i wanted to show you bonds because gilt growth came through after lael brainard co spoke. we saw this big rally coming through in stocks. why aren't we seeing it as well in u.s. treasuries? we don't see much coming through in the japanese bond market either. also, an interesting story on the bloomberg. yield hunters are becoming the hunted. japan's debt has lost 9% during the last quarter. we still see negative yields there. and oif i could look at the dollar-yen, we can still see a lot of weakness on the back of lael brainard's comments. up by .1% there, angie. angie: thank you for that. well, the other big story we are following, the chinese economy

is showing increasing signs of perking up with the latest data. it shows that july could have been a hiccup. is that the case? >> final think so. the numbers did dip lower than expected. all the three numbers beat expectations. let's run through them quickly and then get into the reasons why. production rose thre three numbt expectations. 6.6% in august and we were expecting 6.2%. there has been a deceleration of factory output. the monthly average was 9.6% growth and in 2014, 8.2%. now, we are back up to an average in the first eight months of the year of 8.2%. retail sales, a key barometer of

consumer appetite, better than expected in august, 10.6%. we expected 10.2%, and that was the same number as july. the floor has been placed there, as you can see. investment, the same as july, 10.1%. economistsrd hsbc talking about how the economy is bottoming out. talk to us about the property sector because a property rebound has underpinned this recovery to some extent. what have we learned there. >> it absolutely has, and some of the accommodative policies have helped to see that recovery, lifting up restrictions on mortgages and one cities have

seen some price gains as well. we had those interest rate cuts. the central bank has held off from further easing, but th onee seen some price gains as well. weose six interest rate cuts have finally worked into the property market. there could be -- but those fixed interest rate cuts have finally worked into the property market. there could be some signs of this. i have a few comments here. the chief economist, raymond, saying this is a decent set of numbers that continues to reinforce the message of economic stabilization. but then we have david from brookings saying, the authorities are walking a fine line between enough stimulus to achieve that 6.5% growth target, but not so much that risks build up alarmingly. if there is too much of a rebound, they will take away the punch bowl. saying,, anna overheating in the housing market has become a serious concern. anna: thank you, stephen. hsbc says the key question will

be around how the stimulus is removed from markets. now, let's see how markets have been reacting to what we have heard out of china. julia sally has the analysis. reporter: we're watching three markets for reaction. australia, china, and here in hong kong. not a lot of conviction is coming through, particularly in shanghai and australia. beatte the fact it did expectations. we can see more weakness on the shanghai market, down by .2%. i wanted to show you three interesting stock moves. these are three companies that have made their trading debuts today, and they have all his the daily limit. we are still seeing a lot of appetite for ipo's coming into the china market. beijing advanced digital, the

tech company, and a chemical manufacturer. three very separate industries, and all doing very well. that is one bright spot in the china market. here in hong kong, we are up by .8%. however, we have to remember that this market locked closed 4% during the selloff on monday. when the numbers did come through, we did see an initial spike from the aussi, and that is represented here by this move that we saw there. that was a better picture for the aussi dollar, but it hasn't started to give back again from the losses at the beginning of the session. so, we see dollar strength there, that we can't the dollar weakness against other currencies. -- though we can see the dollar weakness against other currencies. anna: checking in on the first word headlines now from around

consumers flocking to london to buy goods from those luxury areres, or how much of it is these retail leaders who want to have a stake in london? >> retailers want to make money and that has been the case during the recent time. i think what we have seen most recently is a lot of retailer did nasties perhaps -- retailer ownsties, buying their investments. its urse, the sterling and 10 year loans currently, is a touristsction for flocking to london. so, it is both the domestic

tourist and the overseas tourist. anna: a lot has been written about how we are in the middle phony war post the vote. we have not actually brexit-ed. it is difficult to talk about what the u.k. economy will look like in the future because we don't know some of the things. is there a sense that the u.k. market is holding up at the moment, but could still be vulnerable? >> they could be vulnerable. the lowest level of unemployment the 1970's.nce people are shopping and they are shopping in numbers. there might be a lag, but currently, it is business as usual. weumber of the retailers represent are looking to expand their market.

toailers whoar are new areon and the u.k. expanding. a good take -- it could take three to four years until we know what the brexit will look like. anna: how much is being driven opportunistically, if you like, by the weakness in the pound? >> we certainly have spikes and there was a spike in february before brexit, if you remember when boris johnson stated he was going to be supporting the brexiteers, and we saw the movement dramatically improve the market sentiment for this region. they have certainly seen it post brexit, although there has not been the distress in my sector, the london retail market, that people were anticipating. is still very much has the safe globaluality is the capital is looking for.

we have had rental growth. theon retail will be one of successful stories in the short term because of the weakening of sterling. people are buying a lot more watches, i think it is up 12% to 14%. anna: it is time to invest, pun intended. but as you say, a lot of investor sentiment, they are feeling robust about real estate. and as we know, it is about location, location, location. so, where are the hot spots? >> there are headwinds around retailers and there is a lot of development coming into london. the biggest and most exciting project in my business life is the elizabeth rail opening, which comes online shortly and which will dramatically improve some of the established areas of london. some of the other areas of london will also benefit. businessa lot of the

districts investing heavily in the core london areas. it is important to the london economy. i think the shoppers will continue to come, even without brexit. globallyinterest rates are still pretty low, many people are asking questions about how long interest rates are going to remain so low globally. if we do see a general drift higher, how does that change the investment story within the u.k. retail assets? >> i think it will change fo. the capital market volumesi in the u.k. are down some 30% to are but in london, we actually about where we were last year with interest rates rising. long outcomee the people crave, there is still quite a big point of difference

for most investors. interest rates where they are now, i think inflation for retailers is more dynamic and as i said, other headwins about valuations, that could impact us in the short to medium term. moment, it ishe still quite a benign market for us. anna: thank you very much, phill cann. we look at another look at the u.k. inflation a little bit later today. bankg up, china's central resumes the use of a 28 day lending period. details of that story, next. ♪

that trend very familiar. we saw them doing the same thing in january. now, we have another fed hike down the horizon. pboc doesms like the want to act at this moment. angie: what is a tighter liquidity scenario do to equities? >> is always bad news for equities. it seems like china is ready to sacrifice the equity market to stabilize their currency. and you know, defending their currency usually means you cannot also have aggressive easing movies, like cuts to the benchmark lending rate. so, that is definitely what people are looking at right now. angie: that is why they call it a tri-lemma. thank you, the latest moves in

regards to assets. it has over 40,000 branches in its network with roughly 500 million clients. this is really a servicing of the rural population. you are talking about smaller cities. towns, tier pricing, it is expected on september 20 and we are expecting that listing to start trading on september 28. we are looking at bank of america, jp morgan, chase, and morgan stanley as the joint sponsors. anna: the bank has clearly been on something of a capital binge then lately. the ipo is only part of their fundraising effort. >> the question is, wyhy?

they have recently gotten regulatory approval. it is an endeavor to try to close the capital gap, when you compare it to its competitors. this chart shows this gap that exists between the bank of communications, a similarly sized lender. postal savings bank has a capital ratio of 10.6%, above the regulatory minimum. but that number gets raised to 10.5%, and so, it will fall short. it is trying to shore up its balance sheet to have more of a buffer. another reason is asset quality. some of these chinese bankers have been trying to reign in risk weighted assets, but when it comes to a savings bank, they are going in the other direction. we know that risk weighted assets could lead to bad debt,

something the bank wants to avoid. you can see the gradual rising when it comes to risk weighted a assets. it doesr risk really, have the most branches in china. with that, comes the increased risk of fraud and theft with of those 40,000 plus branches in the country. you can see why it is bolstering its defense. at the end of the day, it is pretty much a pure savings bank, one of the most conservative lenders. the idea is that hopefully, it thects some interest into market in hong kong, which has been sluggish so far. anna: thank you. not a bank we talk about every day. checking in on the first word headlights from around the world now. reporter: malaysia is looking to spend $1 billion over the next five yearsto refurbish its airports. the terminal will need an

data should continue to hold up. angie: david expects china will teady before stud befor it takes on reserve status . >> these is a priority of china. it does not mean it will depreciate the u.s. dollar. but it is going to be extremely stable. the dollar has depreciated already by 7%. it is quite helpful to the chinese economy. angie: the pboc's actions are not the only thing investors are watching. currentpected that the emerging-market rally will continue for a number of reasons. factors that have driven the strength of the emerging-market this year have been a weakening

u.s. dollar, low yields, and a continuing belief that we won't see an increase in rates from the fed. therefore, yes, we do think that will be slowing down, however, assuming the fed does hold up raising rates in september, and assuming the u.s. stella does not significantly strengthen -- does not significantly strengthen, we have a positive view on equities in the latin american region and emerging-market debt across the board. angie: that was the word from asia. anna: let's stick with that china theme, then. china is on a stable footing, perhaps. let's bring in the senior economist and strategist from credit agricole. great to have the on the program. are you encouraged by what you see in the chinese data? what excites you most? >> i am absolutely encouraged because it is very clear that

the growth momentum picked up in august. the economy continues to stabilize. the government is on target to achieve its annual objective. ehe most exciting part is th private sector spending on long-term projects. it accelerated after slowing for much of the year. because the private sector accounts for a large part of the investments. pick up pace, china would have to spend more public money to stimulate growth. now, it can rest a little bit easier. anna: if private sector investors are gaining confidence , is that raise questions about when the government starts to withdraw some of the stimulus they have been putting into the markets? what is the time horizon on that story? >> they will be no withdrawal of stimulus, even if the private sector picks up pace. the matter what it does, -- no

matter what it does, it cannot achieve the growth target without support. the objective of 6.5% growth is so much ahead of the potential that stimulus will continue to be necessary for years to come. angie: it is very optimistic that we are seeing small and medium private investors and companies feeling optimistic and investing, but why? is it because they are feeling optimistic, or is it because they now have access to cash? >> i believe it is too early to say that business has really improved. the data is not clear enough. managedclear, they have to stabilize asset prices and the demand in the economy to a level that gives hope to the private sector. and in this kind of environment,

they feel a little bit more peace in terms of their investments now. angie: you know, we also saw the injection of 28 day reverse repos, to try to inject a longer horizon liquidity into the market ahead of the autumn moon festival, and golden week is coming up in october. c ishis a sign that the pbo listening to the market and trying to figure out the minutia of what the market is asking for? >> it is a sign of concern regarding the onshore markets and liquidity. even onshore, things are a little bit tighter than they were earlier in the year. primarily, because in our estimate, the ratio has declined. the central bank is boosting liquidity through a variety of means, which put a lot of cash into the market.

they used medium term lending operations. all of that is helping insurers so there is enough cash in the system to continue the credit actions needed to achieve the growth target. anna: we have spoken to a lot of investors that are skeptical about the growth numbers they have seen reported by china. you are a little bit more confident perhaps in those numbers. what does this latest data do to the trajectory of those growth numbers for china? >> we believe the growth in china continues to slow, but gradually. it will never come back to the double-digits rate. the key point weber, is the celebration -- the key point however, is the growth in china is not too far from what was reported. people do not know enough about what is happening on the ground. there is so much proof to show the economy is strong.

look at the volume of the imports, for instance, which are rising. this has to display real strength in the economy. angie: thank you very much, senior economist and strategist at credit agricole. coming up here on "bloomberg markets," switching focus. is the philippines turning its back on the united states and looking to china? we have analysis, next. this is bloomberg. ♪

he did not explain anything about the india summit or the photograph. what he has to say does not really add up. it really big the question about what this means for his efforts to play off of china and the united states. anna: what have we learned about the relationship between the philippines and the united states? he called on the u.s. special forces to leave. reporter: these are the special forces that are in the southern island of the philippines, driven by terrorism at the moment. these forces have been there since the early 2000's. it has nothing to do with the philippine forces, which are rotating through. it looks as if he is trying to use this as some sort of lever against the u.s. at the same time, he is saying good things about china. the risk is, he could

potentially, because of a financial incentive from china, he could actually undermine this arbitration decision that came out heavily against china a couple of months ago. angie: david, could he undermine as well, u.s. relations? reporter: that is exactly it. the point is, the u.s. is trying to look very carefully at what he is trying to say, but he is very unpredictable. he called the philippine -- the american ambassador to the philippines, he called him "gay." he is constantly talking about, or referencing, the people who died during the colonial period. this is very destabilizing for the u.s. relationship, though the u.s. said they want to continue their relationship. angie: the rhetoric makes it harder. that is it for us on this edition of "bloomberg markets."
