6:07 pm
you have to go back to march, that is when they were making their first rate hike of the year and then you saw this move up, back then, you get to 2.6%, you have a bear market but we didn't, things turned around, inflation was reeked. -- week. ak. what is interesting, on this this is the double in, the gross is it that of it early, he says if the 10 year we have get over 2.63%, a ways to go on that, it will head higher. he also said that the 10-year note has to close at 3.22% and actually and the market and bonds, i'd do see that he says this is plausible sometime in 2018 and he says it looks like a 2.5% two-year treasury could be

6:10 pm
getting back on today's nice, stronger levels again and now the question is what does it mean? there very least in ms. more confident in having a strong chinese currency, it could also mean they want to get closer to a more freely floating exchange rate. it means that they could want a new division. this will is more headwinds in 2018 and need more help. tweakst of technical there. now from bonds to stocks, look at the new round of all-time highs, this is a tone that it sets forth the major earnings report, we will look with su keenan. the s&p and nasdaq keep trudging along, hitting records every day this new year. sue: six straight days in a row. the dollar getting a boost from policies, check it

6:13 pm
and they are saying that they have hired morgan stanley to pursue options, take a look at the stock chart, you can see there has been a significant rise, the activist paul singer is really involved in pressuring countries to get involved, there is a 6.5% stake in the company, we are not hearing directly from ,ither singer or morgan stanley however those close to the matter said the options that are being reviewed, the strategic review could include a sale or it could go nowhere, that that is what we are hearing now. if you look at the year-long stock performance, you can see the pressure the stock has been under an singer is known for coming in at a weak point and buying a lot of stock and putting pressure to make changes that add value which explains why a lot of investors have jumped on board as of late. >> thank you so much su keenan. later on daybreak asia we will be live with the consumer

6:17 pm
is nuclear program is not on the table. when that wased brought up. stephen engle is falling all of the developments from seoul. can you describe to us how the talks went, as you mentioned early on, it started off promising. >> actually, it started promising. it even started with a joke from the head of the north korean delegation who basically said that the relationship with the and ofas been frozen course, you can see the steam coming from my breath, it is extremely frozen here in the koreas right now, minus nine unders here in seoul but blue skies, that is a plus. but again, the money session was all about the low hanging fruit and that is the olympics and south korea's desire to have games that basically personified intent and that is goodwill and
6:18 pm
not have the threat of war hanging over the games. so south korea was able to get that by allowing more promising the north koreans -- offering the north koreans to come march with us and bring your athletes, bring a high-level delegation, the north koreans, this video the games as a korean of the games, not just in -- not just south korean games. so there was goodwill around and there was also progress made on the military, the military hotlines, they will be reconnected after more than a year of being disconnected, that will be reconnected today, starting today. there was some progress and goodwill in the morning session and then they broke for lunch, a separate and went there are various directions, north and south for lunch and came back to the real nitty-gritty working level discussions, that is what it started getting a little testy. they started getting into other issues, the south koreans pressed for a possible restart of denuclearization talks and
6:19 pm
wanted more answers on north korea's missile and nuclear programs. while the north korean delegation took exception to that and basically drew a bit of a redline, north korean delegation, mr. lee issued a strong complaint that south korea even dare to bring up this missile and nuclear program so relations,e start of just the first day of discussions and at the end of the day, the discussions went late into the night towards midnight and if not beyond that. not helpe could himself, he made the statement saying all of north korea positive high and strategic reckons -- weapons are targeted at the united states. he doesn't like a north koreans will back down from their programs. it looks like they went back to being quite frosty at the end there.
6:20 pm
steve: that we wait and see of the stock is going to last into thaw will last into the spring. will these discussions on the limits escalate or broaden to them as a programs and other issue between the two koreas? we are standing here at the blue house complex, the government center of south koreaf because later this morning at 10:00 local, we will hear from president moon jae-in who will give his new year's speech and keep in mind, since he took ,ffice, in may of last year there have been 11 missile test by the north koreans, including their six nuclear tests, there are a lot of questions that south koreans have of the president in his first year in office.
6:21 pm
quite good points, thank you. stephen engle, or asian correspondent joining us live from a very frosty so. up, a former u.s. congress official, now the senior vice president of park strategies to talk a little bit more about what is next. it seems the momentum has stalled pretty early on, was at the right move from south korea? to bring up the issue of denuclearization on the first round of talks? >> i guess they thought they had to. north korea has made it clear that they are not given of the nukes, in fact, they cannot, the north korean response is exactly what i would have expected. >> the ball is in whose court? >> etiquette is a south korea's court to walk away. intellectually we can't argue with the talks because we always told pyongyang that the road to washington runs through seoul, we can talk to them until i talk to her ally. -- southe in danger of
6:22 pm
korea is so desperate for some kind of -- it is bad enough that they're coming to the olympics, now we hear that south korea is paying for it. why don't they pay for it -- pay for a few rockets as well, as i see it we are desponding the enemy. this breeds a lot of questions about the redline, there's been some uncertainty about what president month red eyes are and how they line with president trump and how do you see how he deals with these stocks and how some of the liberal predecessors who historically have been pretty solid when it comes to these negotiations with pyongyang? >> we had sunshine in the past and it seems like moonshine is a little tougher than sunshine because while he is a liberal, that is the korean nationalist he is x special forces and seems to be a lot tougher than his two liberal predecessors and still is pretty closer to the united states, the czech republic is a lot tougher on the north that was 10 or 15
6:23 pm
years ago so i think he will roll over for the north like his two liberal predecessors did that he will not be as tough as the other two as to conservative predecessors. >> are you disappointed with how the talks came out? >> definitely. i didn't expect so soon that they would be willing to send goodies to the north just for them to smile and then to i skaters to john chen. >> they are walking a very tight line here. >> are they afraid that north korea is going to attack them if they don't go to the lipids? they're kicking the can down the road, giving more money to the regime that has been under the gun. pay them now or pay them later. i guess they see having -- >> what about diplomacy? >> i am open diplomacy but diplomacy at what end? at it we should talk to them but giving money before there any concessions, that is how my diplomacy, that's as i can one-way street and i know have just mood has an incentive for north korea to be at the
6:24 pm
olympics. the last time korea posted the others in 1988, north korea blew up a korean airliner to scare people away. they may do some kind of propagation on the border but the idea that they would attack themselves, that was far to begin with. >> so kim jong-un's overture on wasyear's day, you think it a complete farce? there was no genuine meaning behind that? inside the head of kim jong-un. i don't even understand what is going on in this country let alone north korea. i thought it was a decline down from north korea. the three had refused to engage the south. them, the south was a foreign control colonial puppet. for us to refuse to engage the north and reach out south, north
6:25 pm
korea blinked. the talks themselves don't bother me. >> does this put the u.s. in an awkward position? other questions -- to choose between retreating from this fire and fury language and actually planning for some type of war? does this hurt or help this south korea good cop, u.s. bad cop strategy? >> outthink was in the cards but we are in a spot because as i understand it, south korea asked us to delay the exercises during the liv-ex andy lopez are february 9-25. is jong-un's birthday february 16 so that could have always been an excuse for another provocation. so we delayed it out of there will. what now? what about when we do do this, the next exercises? and we look like the bad guys" occupier, north korea may say that you had to delay further, then what? asks ussouth korea
6:26 pm
again and win of doing exercises on her own without south korea. i think it could be a potential public relations trap for us. but we had to support the south and the right to talk. what do they present from should do next? >> at executive what he's doing what do more of it, keep tightening the sanctions, any chinese oil company that supplies north korea and stuck in a series about secondary sanctions on the chinese banks and entities enabling the north, cut them off, we have them on the ropes, that his wife. i'm not on twitter myself, i don't know. >> now, a quick check of the latest business flash headlines at this hour, microsoft says that exist to the security flaws in intel chips could significantly slow down some servers for personal computers. this is just the slowdowns could be more substantial than the

6:33 pm
that there could be a breakup of the currency pending in either direction because of course you have the yield of differentials as well but when it comes to the others forced are, that does remain bullish. you can see on g #btv 5167, even with the yen, we have both the nikkei and the top-of-the-line in white radio. imagine this going to court is have your house. this is a japanese expert volume climate to track that pick up in global demand and that is voting for corporate earnings. this is from the world bank, listing is global growth outlook , their reporting that the boj may consider raising their gdp forecasts at this month's policy meeting. >> the correlation between the yen and stocks and the inverse relationship, things have broken down late last year already so maybe that is not going to be a headwind now when it comes to japanese markets but what we're seeing in the bond selloff, we have quite a bit of brutality,
6:34 pm
especially in the long and, where the wanted? we heard that before, every time they cut back on their bond is notes, they said this tightening. >> the boj has had plenty of times not to take too much stock from these operations, they take place weekly, we have to keep that in mind and they have been cutting back on their bonds since 2016 when they introduced that yield curve control policy and several economists including a former boj official say that there is a long way to go before boj start meaningful normalization and inflation, that is still not meeting the target and we have seen from the boj governor, he is saying the deflationary mindset will be hard to shake off and that is up does not signal intent to exit policy stimulus so when you look at g #btv 5046 that could be in debtwith the boj's basics of cut in quantity, especially after a 30 or 40 year curve last

6:37 pm
they're starting to wonder what this hasten bird but become a car electronics show, they're excited, the conversion of technologies to create connected experiences here, this has gone around the whole show. >> i can imagine, let's talk about what you unveiled, as you are under the umbrella of samsung, tell me a bit more about this digital cockpit that you are developing for cars, driveline path -- platform, what is it about? samsungve been part of for not even one year yet but in travel collaboration, we have produced these three travel relaunch drive lines, those are the words for us. autonomous driving, that means you can bring in signals from high-definition cameras around the car, the
6:38 pm
other sensors and you can integrate them so they created is highly automated service which has security and safety, leading up to all the way autonomous so that is one, number two which is very important is five g technology but as you know, five g -- five g is 100 times faster than the current 4g or healthy and it five g will be really -- be able to take data from car to car and infrastructure, this is billy helping that industry. leapfrog, the times experience and development and what we have lost is a digital cockpit. ais is basically converging multitude of fragmented islands of information rather than discussing and what have you as the compliant with automotive security. so there we have brought in the samsung hospira technology of
6:39 pm
quantum led and migrated with the full 3-d and 2-d. >> socially there is a lot of questions with each of those that you outlined but let's talk about the first part which is cars, in platform and thought mobile i had the market stamp on that. anydo you plan on making inroads in a market that mobilized which is brought by intel, they are the dominant player in this field. right, is absolutely this was the first to enter in this market, by 2030, automotive byustry groups cost six seven joined dollars. the autonomous market right now in terms of revenue is about a billion dollars. good and an is very
6:40 pm
extra derek lowe's platform so it doesn't allow the development of communities to come participate so what we have lost is an open source, open platform, it is still comply with all the requirement. this is the multitude of developers. >> who you expect will be customers for you? with these new platforms, will be your customers? we do with all automotive customers, all of these are the customers of hours and we will see in asia, china will be part of our advantage, the chinese customers are really leapfrogging, they have the appetite for these two technologies, they will not wait for it to be first implemented in high-end luxury cars and of course, american customers so we had in the last two days, we had ceo level of customers from
6:41 pm
europe, asia and america obviously, great interest because these guys one personality, he wanted to have open source of they come participate was automotive autonomous experiences so personally, decided that because it is harmful and an industry spokesperson, industry was waiting for open fax to come out and that we need to make it expand on that. and hear all of this stuff i see all of these pictures and they look incredible, we are basically turning our cars into entertainment centers, computers but i also worry, i can barely walk down the sidewalk you're in new york and not bump into someone because i'm so distracted by my phone, isn't there a concern that with all this capability in your car, we are making them actually less safe?
6:42 pm
>> that a very genuine concern, that is a concern of ours, the only way you can solve it is and make as intuitive it suggestion about and cognitive, that is where we will be spending our money and dollars so you can speak to the cockpit, you can use google intelligence, google home, amazon or samsung's boys enabled interface so boys would be a big deal of until now, i have been investing in automotive and voice has not been mature. so i think we are seeing our explanations develop, the retina best, so less personal -- and digitalovation cockpit is a big step forward in that direction. just tell us a little bit
6:43 pm
more about the connectivity and the promises that you have had since 1998, how is that evolved over the years into what you are seeing in innovation now and what is the risk? any newusly, developments you do have had their own risks, this jumps to connecting cars without worrying cybercybersecurity and safety compliance issues, i really care for that because once you bring in the big 54 5g, you are also going to invite undesired and unintended intruders in the car, cybersecurity needs to be talked about a lot, banking is secure, defense is secure, automotive industries are not, they were not designed that way so that is the concern and the risk and you need to her about the car, it is not your cell phone or smart device, it is light and death. so we understand that and that is one reason why samsung
6:44 pm
brought us under. i think we will use that experience to minimize those risky factors but that is another reason why when people get excited about autonomous cars, it is a journey, it will not happen tomorrow, is a multi-your process, we have to test this things. >> we have been asking many of the ceos when they have been taking a broader look at the well, i know you are so focused on your technology, in terms of what you're seeing and talking to customers around the world, what is the biggest risk right now, the biggest global risk in 2018 in your view. risk isiggest global what you all talk about in your network, the trade war, we do not want that because technology has no boundaries, innovation, collaboration needs no boundaries, so look at harmon and samsung and in china and markets like china, that is the biggest market opportunity not
6:45 pm
to just develop but as consumers for automobiles, consumer electronics, professionals, enterprise and in those emerging markets for us, very big opportunities so we do not want protectionism, i think innovation will always find ways to country the boundaries. christ thank you so much, the harmon president and ceo joining us from ces and we will have much more from the conference because of next we are joined by the was largest ad agency, wpp's martin sorrell, this is bloomberg. ♪

trillion market capital. those are the big seven that will be fighting out on artificial intelligence and voice-activated devices. that is the duopoly in the advertising world, google and facebook which are most disruptive and dominant in the advertising world, what do you expect this year in this duopoly ? how that affect wpp? particularly as facebook is trying to attack this issue of fake news. think you have to give us some perspective, our immediate look is about 75 billion buildings of which 50 billion is our medium. if you look at that, in 2017 and even 2018, google and facebook will be extremely prominent, there will be number one or even one and two. if disney and fox go through, they will be a strong number two whereas last year, facebook and
6:54 pm
fox were pretty much the same. so what has happened with the , what you see in the duopoly is the growth of a partnership with the agencies, ourselves included which has friend and 8 -- france had become much more possible in their approach, i think the biggest thing in 2018 will be what happened with google amazon threatens on search and threatens google on their advertising, it is very small probably around 2 billion, to onelion but close hundred billion in advertising and google and 40 billion on facebook so in its infancy in the foothills and a pen on the health is backside but haven't said that, amazon is coming fast and coming quickly, in addition to that, there is not in the foothills and both which is in the process of formulation and development so there are some
6:55 pm
threats to google and facebook but they are still dominant. i think the big one is amazon. i think what you will see his regulation starting to rear its head, not just in europe but in the u.s. as well as the five big the two inies and china, tencent and alibaba become more and more important. >> i have to squeeze this last question and, you were probably expecting this but there was a lot of disruption going on in the advertising world but for you, the disruption is coming som the consultancy world, consulting.t wpp where do you see wpp in the next few years -- do you see yourself being bought by one of this?

7:08 pm
and closing price for the yuan. that allow them to factor in strength of the economy as well, being to reduce volatility seen in the early parts of 2017. you will see on the back of that you see the yuan pick up against the dollar and then it was removed. the yellow circle points to it being suspended and then you see the dollar picking up marginally against the cny. analysts expect to see a bit more volatility and the yuan, a little bit more interesting for pboc as confident in the trajectory of the yuan this year. is this a signal that they are determined to liberalize the chinese currency? that is the key question and

going forward. on the other hand, the problems market -- most of the market trade, what is happening yuan --hey trade the it's a positive carry trade. have done this policy carried trade for a long time. it makes it difficult, because at this point everybody long .rades yuan we see it strengthening quickly because of the one-way chase and one way expectations. that's what happened yesterday, pboc tried to remove some support. do you think it will have any implications, the last time we saw the pboc sounding the alarm, we thought higher treasury yields, stronger dollar, and a
7:13 pm
triple arc cut as well. hao: yes. they always look at external factors. the most important thing for them is they have to strike a balance between growth, debt, currency, and also look at growth potential and deleveraging effort. in this case we see complicated policy in terms of managing china's yen. i do think they want to see two .ay volatility reduced we haven't talked about the data we are in flex think -- expecting later this morning. you are saying that inflation appears to be picking up. where do you see this going for 2018? will it be a concern for the pboc?
7:14 pm
largely they have been not too worried about this. the feedthrough has been pretty muted. hao: i think we have been in the cpi right now. i do see it will be picking up a little bit in the coming year living that demand has been improving from china's perspective. on the other hand the most important thing is where we see the inflation picking up in china, actually when demand corporations have the ability to increase price over time. that's a factor for the cpi to pick up, but the problem is when it picks up there is little room for china's central to maneuver. we know that from a deleveraging perspective china should tighten that part of policy, but if cpi picks up there naturally is --
7:15 pm
the policy will be tightened on the margin at least. in this case, for the real sector, it will be under pressure. if the inflation continues to rise, inflation expectations on the rise. higher but if we see rates, the big losers are the corporate's with higher debt? hao: that is a problem also. that's what i'm concerned about. if the inflation is higher and rates are on the rise, we do see that on one hand the real sector will be under pressure because of the high funding costs, but especially corporate with high debt. it's an even bigger risk going forward. in this case, i believe that there is little -- a significant

7:44 pm
consolidation we have seen over the last three years or so has really pushed the top five to dominate the whole market. there's a bit of competition among the top five to basically get more market share and the more market share they can get is pretty much from ordering all of these ships as well. the other part is unit costs. you can pretty much bring down your unit costs in that is ineffective if we are in a market where prices might be higher, other costs might be going up. it is a double-sided and that they are looking at, unit cost bringing down the cost for them to improve profit, but also to defend market share as well. >> and global trade picture looking better, too. you talked about consolidation that we see in these big giants
7:45 pm
now, the supersized shippers. how that change the market, the bankruptcy of hands and an costco? >> obviously the whole am in a consolidation we have a nova the last few years has really been brought because the container shipping market has been making losses ever since the financial crisis and obviously that couldn't be sustained. they had one of their most years in terms of freight rates and profitability and that led to the collapse. i think a lot of the troubles that they had faced brought in a lot of discipline, which i think a lot of shipping lines are maintaining, but at the same time some shipping lines are obviously the ways they could probably secure more market share in an environment where the top five putting much dominate the market. that doesn't mean that the m and
