7:18 pm
china, the u.s. taking a bit of a retreat now? could this be seen as an alliance between the u.s. and india? , india as ane angle counterbalance to the rise of china, but also the terrorism agenda. india grapples with some of these issues, and so does the united states, the terrorism angle. with theou can also argue expected growth for india that india is a friend the u.s. has to have. what degree do you see this growth prospected elevate ties? big to ignore. apple just opened a manufacturing plant in india, so big u.s. companies are looking to india as an increasingly promising market. it used to be everything was china, but now it is clear that india is gaining that critical mass as well as a big consumer

7:20 pm
large, indian i.t. companies are very flexible, and nowadays physical location is not all that important anymore, so we expect the indian i.t. sector to adapt to lower visa quotas in the u.s. and to ultimately grow. it is as you say a thorny issue in the near term, and an important constituency for prime and the i.t. sector, the professional class of voters in india that feel they are impacted by this. then?uld he bring that up given what she said, they are very adaptable. should he bring this up? >> it is such a big issue within india politically that certainly raising that issue while he is at the white house, i would be surprised if he did not broach the topic at all just because it is a big issue in india. mightically speaking, it
7:21 pm
not be material for the next several years, but certainly on the agenda. >> i'm kind of curious also. we have been talking quite a bit these last few hours about this relationship, personal chemistry, the prime minister modi had with obama, and it seems the so far in the beginning that he has with trump . how do you think from mr. modi and other asian leaders are dealing with the transactional nature of the trump administration? this is a president who is all about transactions, you give me something, i will give you something back. is that working as well as he says it? asian policymakers tend to be open to that approach. soy are very pragmatic, transactional politics plays reasonably well in this region. if you think about the chinese leadership for example understands that there is a give and take, and that's probably
7:22 pm
one of the reasons the mar-a-lago meeting went reasonably well. a longer strategy, or what is the longer strategy behind this? there are still open questions. terman have short successful summits, but the long-term strategy is still not entirely clear. indian policymakers are wondering where india fits in in this new asian security arrangement that is being developed under the trump administration. >> you mentioned china. i want to talk about one belt, one road. of this aseen wary well. they did not send big representatives to that meeting. how big of a hotbed issue would that be for india? there is such a glaring need for infrastructure across all of asia, including south asia and india. >> you think they will jump in? there will bent,
7:23 pm
some projects rolled out in is a more it difficult relationship between india and china, and there are still other issues that need to be ironed out. here perhaps the u.s. angle is also interesting because it helps india maneuver a little bit away from china and use the uss perhaps a counterweight to what they perceive as growing influence of china. >> great to have you. one feature on the bloomberg we like to bring to your attention is our interactive tv function at tv . you can watch us live and see previous interviews and dive into the securities are bloomberg functions we talk about. all those have links on the right side of your screen. you can also become part of the conversation by sending us in his message during our show. this is for bloomberg subscribers only. check it out at tv .

8:07 pm
what most of us were reporting earlier this week. that should help in terms of funding and when it comes to the production of replacement parts. we have heard from experts that estimated the cost of these recalls as well as production of replacement parts could cost as much as $5 billion. let's get the latest. we continue to see this trickle of news coming from takata. $1.6 billion for this deal, not to do much in terms of resolving the replacement of parts. when itnext for takata comes to customers and owners of affected cars? next is a looks into who will ultimately pay that gap between what takata
8:08 pm
cash on hand may receive from this transaction and what it's costs are. you mentioned the $5 billion figure. that is just an estimate. we don't know what the total cost will be for replacing all of those airbags found to be faulty, so looking ahead, we can see a situation where there are lots of costs related to lawsuits against takata. some of them in the u.s., and less money will have to pay those off than it would have if it had remained. key safety systems, the company taking that over, they are not accepting any liabilities, so takata would be saddled with those, and how they will pay those and how much they will pay remains an open question that will now be settled in the court. >> so who will likely cover that shortfall? will it be the carmakers in japan? >> exactly.
8:09 pm
the carmakers are in a tough position because they need takata to remain open and functioning and producing these airbags so they can continue to replace them in the vehicles they have sold to customers, so they have to provide the cash to keep that flowing. they are not legally liable for those costs, but have to provide them and hope to get a fraction back from takata. will have tostems produce the bags and provide them, but they are not the ones holding those liabilities that have to be paid back to the automakers. >> we know the loser out of all of this is the takata shareholder itself, but are there winners out of all of this? >> key safety systems, they are faster growing, china-based auto-parts maker. this brings them into the global industry and makes them a very key player for all of the major
8:10 pm
automakers. they are supplied by takata airbags, so they become the number two provider of this most important safety feature in , so itard that is sold is a big win for them. it won't be clear sailing for a while. this will be a real struggle to keep up with the recall demand and the troubled industry in general because of these liabilities, but does put them on the global stage, so a big win for them. ofand how to deal with one the most complicated recalls in automotive history. thank you. ahead, toshiba, the latest in a line of disasters. up next, as supply climbs, prices fall, what is ahead after oil's fifth week of declines. this is bloomberg. ♪

a fifthrices fell for straight week after slumping into a bear market on concerns that rising production will offset opec's output cuts. let's get an update. we are seeing support around $43, but has the narrative really changed? rig counts rose again, hedge funds still less bullish, so what has changed? apart from modest support around these levels, not much. supplied level still the same. >> it is short covering then? >> possibly. priceslast year when fell to below $30, the price
8:14 pm
doubled, so there might be room to move. at the supply situation in nigeria, the u.s., and brazil, adding extra pressure to the market. it is not changing the supply situation, but putting pressure on the market. the rig count up, the longest ,un of adding rigs in 30 years so all this fundamental pressure adding to the market, but holding at the moment, so there is a little bit of positivity there. >> we were hearing last week in the midst of that route, the iranian oil minister saying some opec nations are considering deeper output cuts, but will that work? is opec losing its relevance? >> they put a lot of work into getting the deal to cut exports with russia and the other non-opec countries, so the expectation is deeper cuts are hasired, but russia
8:15 pm
essentially said they will not do it. saudi arabia and russia are probably the two countries you need on board for that to happen. at this stage, it looks like it will be a deal to cut through to the end of march next year, but a lot of people are saying be patient. demand is climbing, although incrementally. they are hopeful in the second half that we may see stockpiles declined even further. >> thank you so much for that update on the oil price. let's look at further analysis. good to see you. we have seen this debate among some of the banks, talking about where does oil price will go. some are saying that technicals are trending towards the $30 mark for wti. what do you think the moment? >> i think you have touched on it, it is about supply, not demand. some of the demand numbers

picked up on friday at of the u.s.. range of leave us in a trading for the year and moving back to $50 a barrel on average. it is easy to make the parallel with 2016. you are not seeing that same reflection this time. markets are still moving higher. seeing a selloff in high yield, but not to the same extent. there is scope for oil markets to tighten as prices they weak , then company start adjusting outlook for investment and capex. you will hear a lot from the opec pr machine, but that is talk and it's not helping in the near term, see you need them to strengthen their commitment to making sure production cuts they have planned really are believed by the market. >> possibly further jawboning

from opec. #394t to throw up a chart, , when it comes to correlations between oil and the stock market , the s&p 500 basically that relationship has broken down to zero now. given that this is more of a supply-driven story than demand, there is limited contagion effect, but what about the value story right now? we have seen a rotation from growth to value. when you don't have higher oil prices were higher yields in the market? >> in terms of what i mean for the inflation outlook, people are seeing that rotation away from the growth or cyclical to the value, but right now, you will see that inflation number which has been weak out of the u.s. for the last recorder quarter start to build over the rest of the year and these
8:18 pm
impacts will be transitory. oil price close to $50 a barrel, we will get that inflationary impact not so great. for us, we believe you want to be in the cyclical parts of the market in the u.s. and europe and will still move higher. that the inflation outlook starts to dent some of that. that starts to weigh on sentiment, but overall, the mobile economy is growing. we are seeing some inflation, but not a huge amount. provide that idea of a goldilocks position for investors, because of where valuations are, this is a fairytale for many people. we are cautious towards the u.s.. we still like this cyclical parts of the market based on where growth and earnings are going. >> moving away from oil, i want to look at technology. you have not only seen the tech

just owning the index. the facty low reflects the index is moving, but there as people reallocate between defensive, cyclicals, technology, and other growth stocks. markets have moves such a long way, valuations are high, so it's hard to provide those returns. this particular sector does not worry me too much in terms of what it means for returns. it just alters our approach to the market. thehen it comes to finding best value, where would it be? >> we prefer to look at europe in terms of the growth recovery there and relative violations compared to the u.s. we look at emerging markets where you are seeing relative i you wish and's. -- relative valuations. to thoseortant to look parts of the world to deliver equity returns and combine those

preferred bidder. it is not clear who will lead the bid. recent reports indicate the japanese led fund will own the majority. hynix will probably come in as a lender to an spc vehicle. the question is how will western digital respond. they have been pretty aggressive with legal action trying to bring toshiba into arbitration. so far, they have not backed off their claims. the question is can they derail the bid or can they delay it sufficiently to make toshiba negotiate with them? as far as we know, toshiba does want to close the deal by wednesday when they have their shareholder meeting, so we might see some news coming out as early as today or tomorrow. >> thank you. joining us live with toshiba shares down 3% this morning. china's overseas shopping spree curve dramatically after a

is "daybreak asia" in new york. on annese companies went international shopping spree worth more than $300 billion. that has dropped off as the government has cracked down on overseas deals. we have seen a dramatic slowdown from the $250 billion in 2016. regulators have stepped up scrutiny on buyers. for does this mean acquisitions still in the works? i want to bring in our guests. let's set things up really
8:44 pm
quick. ?s this a red flag how is this different from the latest probes? i think we are waiting to get more information on how deep this investigation will go. it rattled the markets last week and raised some alarms, but all we know is that the banks were asked to give more details about overseas lending for these five big companies we have been talking about. we will hopefully get some more answers, but what it seems like is that this is certainly going to be a warning to these companies ahead of this party congress towards the end of this year. whether it will go for it will go forward is something we have to watch for. a toughening from stance from regulators here. regulator,ies banking regulator, and insurance
8:45 pm
regulator. there are some questions that have been discussed for quite some time whether we are moving closer to a super regulator overseen by the pboc. they are sharpening their teeth, and part of that will be down to the political atmosphere in china at the moment. , whatrpening their teeth is the endgame here? do you think the probe will have any affect? i think it is already having an effect. you can see that outbound m&a has curb compared to last year. i'm not sure beijing has a real in the game in mind, of their than to start to assess and deal with systemic risks. would like to ensure that they have a smooth economy in the run-up to the party congress, and even longer-term dealing with some of this debt-
8:46 pm
related systemic risks is important to general economic health. a lot of the recent moves are done with this in mind. that anbang is too big to fail in china. what do you mean by that? >> anbang appears to big to fail. anbang controls $300 billion in a countless army of retail investors who have bought its structured products. i don't believe the government wants to do this, but if the government where intent on business,bang out of the question would be what to do with all of those people who would like to redeem their products and suddenly can't yet paid. i believe everyone is on the same page and wants anbang to come out of this whole and deal with its obligations. >> what is interesting is that when you talk to people who know anbang and know the chairman and
8:47 pm
who watch and observe this have seeney problems for years and noted they did not want to do business with the company. i want to read you one quote from hank greenberg, the former ceo of aig. says "people buy life insurance because they want benefits to be there when they and it, not to be used by organization that is gambling with their money." he is highly critical of how anbang was ron, so what took regulator so long? ok, but that is an insurance guide taking on a company that is technically in the insurance business, but for all intents and purposes is just in the fund raising business. these people who are buying these "life insurance policies" don't expect life insurance.
8:48 pm
they expect short-term cd-like instruments. i believe everyone is aboveboard in terms of what is happening here. in the waynsurance hank greenberg would look at it. probes,ve seen these days after the msci decided to add a-shares to its global indices. it is a stamp of approval from msci, but you also have regulators tying conglomerate's hands in terms of overseas deals, doing the opposite in terms of opening up. as a foreign investor, how can you interpret this? >> it is confusing. the heads of these companies, it is confusing for them as well. they were encouraged to expand and by assets overseas.
8:49 pm
what you hear from policy makers experts is the focus is on ,ational overseas acquisitions and that is what they will continue to encourage. there's talk about more m&a next year, maybe that will be within the framework of the so-called rational overseas acquisitions, so not so many football clubs and movie studios. this,eign investors read caseuys pushing the bull would say there is a push to add transparency with all the on board. help add transparency and improve corporate governance on the ground in china and help to ease rings and smooth the path or foreign investors, but clearly this is a red flag for those who see the domestic market as littered with risks. brock, i wonder if you think we superving closer to a
8:50 pm
regulatory body and closer coordination between all these regulators under the pboc, is that something likely to happen, if not before the party congress, then after? it certainly is possible, but i don't see any moves indicating it is imminent. all these moves we are theussing are all based on common belief that beijing has do something about systemic risks, and as a foreign investor, i can only flawed these moves. it is about time. i think the moves are rational, and i think beijing is finally tackling this in a reasonable and aggressive way. i am also still bullish on outbound m&a for the coming year, especially after the party congress. people will resume their prior , and no one has any incentive to tell corporate china that they should not go out and become global players.
8:51 pm
beijing is not interested in curtailing corporate china, i think. >> have the rules of the game essentially changed here? you don't see this as a seismic shift on how the east engages with the west now? financing will change, deal financing will change. it may be harder to finance deals the way that a dealmaker like anbang had been doing up until now. i would look for more sophisticated offshore financing. has been doing this and a lot of their deals, and i look on,war of that as time goes particular he the party congress has passed. >> certainly don't want to have any rough waters ahead of that. thank you so much. straight ahead, president's
