1% higher. japanese markets climbing as well on that weaker yen. ee those taxv reform concerns have been put on hold. the german coalition talks that have disappeared into thin air, that has been pushed to the wayside and this is what we are seeing right now. inso remarkable is that sydney, it is gaining as well. i also want to show you the shanghai market because we are seeing some recovery there, but not here. it continues to fall here. this is a story we are continuing to watch because a couple of days ago, the news agency flagged this stock specifically. this is something that a state run agency rarely does. so, when it does, it does it with the editorial power of

china and what they said was, the valuations are way too high. the shanghai stock exchange is in the yellow. see kweichow moutai climbing along with that, surpassing the shanghai composite at some point and the concern was that perhaps some of these big staples on the shanghai composite -- if the valuations are too frothy, perhaps this could bring instability of market. we got word late yesterday that the shanghai stop exchange added fuel to the fire. the research note might mislead investors and kweichow moutai actually coming out with its own listing, saying -- or rather, with its own market note. the stock market exchange saying, valuations are very high and investors should be cautious. something else we are watching, bitcoin. all right. i was going to buy a bitcoin.

a lot of you guys were thinking about bitcoin. then you were thinking about how frothy it was. $8,085.72. it is as but here's an interesting chart here. 711, and this is a note from morgan stanley. this is from its global head of interest rate strategist. you can liken the trend of u.s. treasuries to bitcoin. what he figures, and this is what we are seeing, the bitcoin price is in the yellow and we're seeing that yield spread between two and 430. he's saying, guys, long story short, just buy into the dip.

he recommends adding to bets that the dip will continue to narrow and that trend is as strong as the trend that is driving bitcoin as a safety haven play, as you can see right now. when it comes to currency, this is also what we're watching. the u.s. dollar paring back its advances, especially after the euro. to get arkel trying coalition together. those talks essentially call-up collapsing with angela merkel saying she would rather go back to the electorate, go for another vote and get more of that political capital that she did not have to begin with. so, let's see what happened there. you can see that drop. now, we see the whipsaw back up. the u.s. dollar paring back the

euro recovery and that is what we are seeing across the market. angie.thank you there, there is big news out of the fed and somebody who will not be there anymore. for that, here's steve engle. janet yellen confirm she believed will leave the fed once a successor is sworn in. the term of governors does not end until january of 2024. this leaves president trump with additional spot to fill on the seven person board. she was the vice chair from 2010 to 2014. before that she was the head of the san francisco fed. well, the united states is designating north korea a state sponsor of terrorism, opening the door to further sanctions and isolating kim jong un's regime. there, but was

sydney. what's the reaction been to those rba minutes? scott: well, the reaction to the rba minutes has been up and down. it was already heading for its worst three months this year. .75s barely clinging to u.s. cents this year. when the rba came out with his minutes now, they sounded less optimistic than they have been, that the turnaround they expect will not come anytime soon. they sounded more resigned then they have been for quite some time, but they will be holding interest rates. that gels weird with the markets that are pricing in for the first time since at least 2000 that the cash rate will be below the fed rate in a year. reason to a good

expect continuing australian dollar weakness. david: i am guessing, when i look at the spread, as you mentioned, the managing yield premium that you pointed out on your blog. you came out with an estimate of, what was it, .65 cents? garfield: yeah. david: that is a realistic target to get to. that is certainly possible. morertainly feels plausible than the consensus forecast for about .80 cents, i think, which from here look like a very tough ask indeed. as i also wrote on the blog going forward from that, australia has a key role in the world economy. it is a developed market, but plays a lot of the time like a emerging-market. so, if the aussi is looking this

weak, and this is the reason behind it, that has got to give some pause to those who expect global growth going forward and who expect the asian stock markets can build on what has been their best rally since 2008. angie: you wrote in your blog that there will be some news about a rally reversal. why? i mean,: well, because, we had the strong selloff, of the previous last week, and a strong selloff partly on tax reform concerns, partly on what was saudi arabia playing at. it was the feeling that the market was due for a correction. we had that and then there was a very strong turnaround, especially in asia, on friday. a lot of people were like, that's it. it's done. we can get back to bidding

stocks up endlessly. instead, all of that turned around. now we are in a situation where no matter how good the rally might be, it might need to be sustained for a while. otherwise, everybody will be nervous and also, time of year. a lot of people are sitting on some pretty fat returns. this could be a good time to say, i am going to take those and come back next year. garfield: david: -- david: yeah, why not? frankly, garfield, a lot of people are getting nervous out there. you are up what, 35% on the year? how could we expect we will have the same returns next year? we've got to leave it there, though. that's the game changer, isn't it. garfield reynolds, you can follow more of today's trading on our market's live blog. you can check that all the market rundown and analysis.

from one bubble to another, let's talk about china. it continues to open up its economy to the world. overseasion to let companies move in and have more control in joint ventures, but risk remain in the form of the country's debt pile. >> even the pb oc is worried about maintaining stability in the market. let's bring in our chief economist in beijing. you are forecasting death of 327% of gdp in 2022. how did you get that number, and secondly what is the economic environment in which that exists? it is a bit of a complicated calculation. there are a bunch of moving .arts we have to think about the composition of gdp in terms of industry and services.

we have to think about how much credit is required to produce a unit on a sector basis, and then finally we have to put in an estimate of how good and effective china will be at writing off bad loans. all of those variables come to gather in this projection of 2022.o gdp at 327% in behind that is a an assumption by the policy choice which china's government will makes. china's government could choose to step back from its ambitious growth target and make more progress on deleveraging. our assumption is they will not do that. they will stick with the ambitious growth target, and that is why we will see debt continuing to rack up. a lot of the people we talked to here, debt to gdp history keep your japan for example, not a lot of people worried because it is

domestically owned. the problem with china is that relative to where it is in its development cycle, debt should not be that high come so what is the major implication for the economy there? >> you hit one of the key points, debt is a development instrument. if you want to move up the income ranks and pay for the infrastructure and industry necessary to develop, you need to borrow money, so the u.s., japan come a they have higher debt levels than china, but these are developed economies. the bank of china has already taken on a very high level of debt whilst still a lower middle income country. the question that raises is how easy is it going to be for china to continue accelerating up in income rankings. >> there is a lot that can happen between now and 2022.

what could push china into a more positive trajectory? >> i think that's right. there are a lot of assumptions baked into our arecast, and they could go in more positive direction for a more negative direction. a bunch of things which have been happening in the last few months and the last couple of weeks have suggested that maybe they could move in a more positive direction. firstly, the chinese government has succeeded in ramping up nominal growth. has accelerated. that means more corporate income and tax revenue and household income and more money to pay down debt. in the last couple of weeks, we have seen the government taking some dynamic steps to try to drive higher efficiency in the financial sector. david mentioned at the beginning of this segment, kicking open the door to the financial markets to foreign firms, moving aggressively to bring this wild

west asset management sector. the hope is this will mean a more efficient financial sector, more growth thing for less credit buck. if sustained, the government could cap credit at less than 300% of gdp in 2022. angie: we will leave it there. thank you for that. remain in china because its effort to rein in financial dangers faces the challenge, convincing individual investors that risk is real. in the last 13 years, the value of chinese asset management products have swelled from almost zero $215 trillion, in to $15cause -- trillion, in part because it is considered safe. david: there is never a good

time to put in place unpopular measures come that you are saying in your article that it is a bit more sensitive to do it like that. why? >> china's ten-year development bond yield hit 4%, psychologically important for bond investors, the highest level since october 2014. in the meantime, the chinese corporates are probably going to .ace deeper refinancing risks the chinese government is trying to clamp down on issuances in the corporate bond market, and the ipo market is not fully open come so wealth management products and that they were a major source of funding for a lot of corporates, 15 trillion yuan, so refinancing will be tricky when that benchmark bond yield is rising. in 2008, saw this sudden tightening of liquidity, the most respected, the most stable companies, so what could

happen here in china? week, anstance, last major port operator in northeast -- that borders north korea defaulted on its october 31 bond. sinking investor sentiment in the corporate bond market. if you look at the financials, it is a profitable company. they're operating margin was 15% for the first nine months of this year. the problem is they could not refinance fast enough. going forward, we may not only corporatesrofitable going into default, but also profitable ones that cannot get money fast enough. david: i'm guessing a good example would be property developers. in a previous life, i used to cover a lot of these things and market them as well.

you did have implicit guarantees on your rate of return and you are guaranteed this cash flow, right? be a problem for property stocks in terms of refinancing? >> over 10% of wealth management went into the property sector, and also the only privately placed wealth management products can invest in nonstandard assets, basically the property market, and the wealth management funds that you can sell to mom-and-pop shops, they cannot invest in those, so it will be a problem for them down the road. angie: a problem you are flagging now. thank you for that. that is on our radar. coming up -- angie david: flipping the switch on an electric vehicle deal. details next.

secondly, they acquired a company making electric cars in india. they have a small electric car which they sell commercially in 20.ia, the e it is working together earlier and the market potential they see in one of the biggest car markets in the world. what does the indian company bring to the table here? >> essentially they have already made a distribution network and are among the top three car companies. of carse a huge lineup come so it has a distribution network that ford can access right down to the village and rural area, and two, ford brings

best practices to the car market is sellingahindra electric cars commercially, it is not to the standards that possibly tesla and other chinese carmakers have, but essentially ofy have an understanding , and alsoic market ford can speed up the production lines and other aspects of carmaking. david: help us understand what the government's position is. the headlines over the last two weeks is that the air pollution where you are makes beijing seem like switzerland, and i guess that has skewed the government's attitude towards the transition to cleaner energy. >> that is true. what you have read in terms of the headlines out of delhi is much closer to reality than

the u.s.-china trade relationship, because he could help you when you are looking to the u.s. market? is that something you would be happy to see at this stage? value ofmber and total american cars exported to china are far more than those of chinese cars sold in the u.s. theet, therefore i hope governments of the two countries introduce more policies that will favor the auto industry development in both countries and more measures to encourage the carmakers in both nations to deepen collaboration and areas of technology, manufacturing, and sales. i am very optimistic about this and really looking forward to better policies. angie: that was the president of guangzhou automobile. focusing on what it means for the aviation industry, exclusive from the ceo. airbus has built a new
