paul: welcome to "daybreak australia." sophie: we are counting down to asia's major market opens. ♪ paul: hear are the top stories we are covering in the next hour. mario draghi sends his strongest stimulus signal yet. amazon may not deliver. income forecasts are short of expectations. there have been concerns over

more big spending. and drinks all around. interest in an ipo. about a minute away from the launch of the spacex mission. the latest attempt last night was canceled because of stormy weather conditions. you are taking a look at the spacex dragon cargo carrier. this is being put on the falcon nine rocket and will launch from cape canaveral. this cargo carrier of moreing supplies than 5000 pounds. this launch has been canceled multiple times in the past because of stormy weather, but it it actually goes ahead, this will be the first time the same dragon has gone on a third trip to space. very significant moment when it comes to the reusability of these rockets.

and i believe this rocket as well has been used once before. it was going to be used .esterday the count was aborted 29 seconds before liftoff. here we go. here's the count. 0.3, 2, 1, it mission. liftoff. ignition. liftoff. paul: the falcon nine rocket with that dragon capsule, on its third trip to the international space station now.

2270 kilograms of cargo on board if you like the metric measurement. 250 experiments, experiments on how to culture cells, a 3-d printer, which could print 3-d human tissues in space, also an about how microbes interact with rocks in zero gravity. that could have implications for mining and space. and of course, lab rats. it is also going to be an historic moment when it comes to installing that docking adapter, which is what they are trying to do in the exterior of the international space station. that would be sort of a new parking spot for two future commercial spacecraft. this docking adapter was made by boeing. that is what we're expecting from this trip. would be theis 18th commercial resupply mission for the iss. one of the final cargo missions

spacex will do under its .esupply contract with nasa a very interesting moment as we continue to see this race to by not only elon musk's spacex but also by other billionaires such as jeff bezos .nd blue origin agent of ais the contract with nasa, but a second contract has been signed that will keep spacex and nasa's partnership going through 2024. the next seven missions will be using a new dragon capsule and that will be similar to the capsule's has which will be able crews. cruise -- take they would go. now clear of the earth. there you have it. with thiswill be back

launch as we get that landing, but for now, let's get a quick check of how markets closed here in the u.s. you can see it was all in red. the s&p 500 and major indices coming down from those record highs. the dow at the lowest level in two weeks. we had tesla, ford taking a hit. of course, lingering concerns over the global automotive market. will sustain the largest fall in about a month. facebook had impressive results less night, but despite that, we have that ftc probe also weighing on the stock, so it was down today, weighing on sentiment. we also had the ecb president, mario draghi, being a bit less dovish than expected. if you can bring up that euro chart we have, we have seen big fluctuations swinging between gains and losses in the previous session. initially plunging against the draghi left mario

rates unchanged, but then a significant degree of monetary stimulus is needed and the outlook is getting worse and worse, that led to a euro spike and sort of initial unchanged, but of course, we will keep a close eye on what happens throughout the rest of the asian session as we see how things are shaping up there. sophie: this friday, no liftoff for risk on sentiment. earnings very much center stage. more pain for the auto sector. reportinge, nissan 14-week numbers. on the eagle agenda today, we do and korea cpi data will get a read of consumer confidence at a time of economic

uncertainty and here in hong kong, we're going into the weekend with more protests anticipated amid signs the economy is under strain. the latest trade data showing exports slump in june for an eighth straight month, this ahead of the gdp report due next month. thanks for that. as you can see, we continue to watch that launch from spacex. we have confirmed main engine separation the stage has been confirmed. in the meantime, let's take you through some of those earnings. amazon is falling and extended trade up to reporting lower-than-expected profits and trimming its forecast. the tech giant says it will continue its cycle of spending big to improve delivery times and boost topline growth. , and ourss to seattle tech reporter is there. we have seen -- we were day --ng the record high

record prime day to help. what was the outcome? >> they did have a good revenue guide. the big thing spooking investors is the earnings miss in the second quarter and the outlook for earnings and for operating income in the third quarter. that is also in this by far. what amazon basically explained is that they previously one-dayd this shift to delivery would cost 800 million dollars. it is actually costing more than that and will continue to cost more, so it will put a dent in profits for the next several quarters. investors are initially a little it issh about that, but trying to reassure them saying this lead to long-term growth. we can sell more things to people if we can get it to them in one day. there will be things they simply cannot wait today's four. they are trying to do a little

damage control on this spending uptick. paul: a little bit of remote building -- a little bit of too, by theg, looks of it. what does it say about the health of the consumer? >> it is tough to read. revenue was quite good, so there's no indication of a weaker consumer market, at least from amazon's results because revenue growth remains strong. more azon situation is reflection of this uptick in spending to make a big reduction in their delivery times from two-day to one day. thank you very much. you just missed that stage one reentry burn. we just saw that happen. we know the main engine cut off and stage separation have been confirmed with that spacex dragon cargo carrier avoid that falcon nine rocket.

we are also seeing now the upper stage propelling the dragon cargo into orbit. right now, we're expecting for the landing to have of that first stage booster that will attempt to land back at cape canaveral, and of course, very this reallybecause signals and new momentum in this space race when it comes to reusability of these rockets and boosters, which help the profitability of these companies. the: yeah, indeed, reusability has made a huge difference to the space race. this blows my mind. cany time i see it, i scarcely believe that this is possible. spacex has such a good record when it comes to re-landing these boosters, and there it goes. i believe they have only lost ditching during this entire contract period with nasa. there you have it, stage one booster back on the ground after

its second trip into space. on the first word news now with jessica summers. jessica: the european central bank has sent its strongest signal yet that stimulus will be stepped up would lower interest rates and renewed asset purchases on the agenda. eurozone inflation remains far from the bank's goal. meanwhile, the new governor at the bank of turkey deliver the country's biggest rate cut in 17 years, slashing borrowing costs by 425 basis points. hong kong exports plunged more than expected last month, marking an eighth straight month of declines. there are warnings that there's no relief in sight. overseas shipments declined 9% to the equivalent of 39 billion u.s. dollars. that was the worst result ends 2016. hong kong is struggling with the trade war, public arrest, and

paul: counting down to the sydney open, we have futures pointing lower at the moment by about .5%. this is after we saw some .eclines on u.s. equity markets you are watching "daybreak australia." the u.s. and china head back to the negotiating table next week after a two-month rate. china is making some goodwill measures to smooth the way. for a global perspective, we turn to someone who has been through these types of negotiations.

it is great to have you back with us. we talked to you while you were in australia. the talksstarted with in shanghai. it is not just that they are speaking to devise for mayor, but this time around, the commerce minister will participate in these talks for the first time. he is supposed to be a bit more of a hardliner than the vice permit or what can we realistically expect in these talks? >> it is a good sign you have both ministers there. the foreigns found minister good to deal with. i think the real issue around the bilateral relationship between the u.s. and china is going to be an assessment of the political landscape here in the u.s. because in many respects, the question a lot of people does theesolve is president think it is in his political interest to have an ongoing dispute with china? that is obviously distilling it

to its most basic elements, but it is still a primary consideration driving the primary agenda. in that sense, will the chinese be able to trust the u.s. administration, especially given what they have seen the u.s. do when it comes to handling matters with mexico? they first agreed on nafta but then backtracked and push harder on immigration. will the chinese have learned a lesson from that? >> i think one most sides, there is goodwill. what we are seeing is a .ifference in policy approach that has been quite well received in a number of democracies because of the impact this had around intellectual property policy. that notwithstanding, i can say that having spoken to a number of people globally, the fact that the u.s. is pushing back on

what is viewed as an incursion on what is fundamentally a lack of respect for ip laws has been respected and well received. you have to take the good with the bad, but i think the u.s. has demonstrated that if they can do it, they will stand by that deal, especially when it is time to see a marked downturn in trade volumes, for example, and expectations. there is a desire to smooth some of them over. paul: i want to return to the point you made a second ago about the chinese calculation as to if president trump will be around after 2020. politician, surely you appreciate the power of campaign rhetoric. there will not be too many candidates on either side of the field that will want to appear weak on china. doesn't the 2020 election cast a huge shadow over all of this regardless if president trump wins or not? >> it does not cast a huge shadow, but i think it is in the interest of both president xi as

well as president trump for the two seem to be a pathway forward. nobody wants to see protracted downward pressure on economic growth. people want to see continued growth. they want to see the creation of jobs. all that flows from a trade congested environment. when you have ongoing conflict, aat's when you start to see downward back in terms of economic growth. we continue to see sluggish growth across europe and we are not seeing terrifically strong growth in the u.s. ,or all of those reasons there's a lot of reasons to get a deal done. paul: the u.s. would like to see some structural reform in china, but is there simply too much to ask? >> not at all. i think the fact that the united states is pushing back, especially in relation to intellectual property, as i said has been welcomed in a number of corners and i think it is in putting to delineate between a

number of different elements in u.s. policy. lighthizer i found terrific to deal with, very pragmatic, but also unapologetic about the policy outcomes the u.s. is pursuing. the u.s. is pursuing particular outcomes around ip policy and that is different to what is being pursued around threats on auto tariffs or biopharma and the sort of thing. we also need to see real commitment to what can be done around reform at the wto. there was a conversation initiated when i was trade minister that is ongoing today. ultimately, how the wto is reformed will also have a marked impact going forward. shery: it has so many different paths. see the path of a conciliatory tone coming from the trump administration, but

having a different path when it comes to congress, where they do want to rein in huawei and other chinese tech companies? >> the design is always too simple fight it to its most basic elements, but the fact is there are many elements to trade investment that have a marked a material impact on the economy. i've always thought about the ist that trade investment the large genesis of a lot of economic growth, both to mystically as well as globally. when you see pressure in relation to trade volumes and the impact on tariffs and nontrade barriers, automatically you see a decline in economic growth, so there is a fundamental sense to maintain liberalized trade as much as you .an that is what basically the administration is saying. shery: of course there is the economic incentive. australia, for example, is a good economic partner with china

but also u.s. ally. you have so many domestic political considerations, has the environment just changed? >> it's more competent it. the impact it has in terms of global supply chains, there's so many strands to this. you see it for example in relation to the ad sector here in the united states. from australia's perspective, the dispute between the u.s. and china was positive for agricultural exporters because it meant we could fill some of the large demand coming from china. if the u.s. and china were able to resolve some of that, will that be a marked impact on australia? i would argue not as pronounced as people would take. we are still not touching the sides of aggregate demand that is coming from china. happens when you

conflate economics, politics, history? >> it gets difficult. that's why i think a lot of people are uncertain about what the pathway forward is to markets are always looking for cues about the direction for where this is going. that is why i post the question which is to say you have to look at it in the context of i think the largest blip on the radar, and the largest blip on the radar is the forthcoming presidential election. that is why i distillate to its most basic element. is it in the president's interest or public in party's interest to have this dispute ongoing or to be resolved? ultimately, i think it is in their interest to have it be resolved. shery: thank you for joining us today. plenty more to come on "daybreak australia." this is bloomberg. ♪

and yet, not moving just yet. kathleen: not just yet, but, boy, oh, boy, it's pretty clear the ecb is revving up to do that rate cut and more come september. when you hear the head of the european central banks say that things are looking worse and worse, that has got to signal to everyone that draghi is aware things are weakening quickly. let's listen to how he put it when he was describing when he sees in the euro area economy. >> generally speaking, you have resilience in the service sector and social sector. at the same time, this outlook is getting worse and worse, and it's getting worse and worse in manufacturing especially and it's getting worse and worse in those countries where manufacturing is very important, but because of the value chains, this propagates all over the eurozone.

kathleen: countries where manufacturing is very important, germany right at the top of the list. 24 hours ago, we were talking about the purchasing managers index for july and germany slipping down to 43 point one, well below 50 which signals contraction. no surprise that mario draghi went on to make it pretty clear more stimulus is coming. >> in this environment, inflationary pressures remain ofed, and indications inflation expectations have , therefore it is significant degree of monetary stimulus continues to be necessary to ensure that financial conditions remain very favorable and support the euro area expansion. kathleen: the ecb let us know they have committees studying if they will do rate cuts, renew bond purchases, make forward guidance even deeper and longer, etc.

maybe we have to wait until september, but it sounds pretty clear like the ecb monitoring forces are getting ready to ride to the rescue. latest german report sentiment pretty much underscores the need for stimulus. kathleen: that's pretty much all there is to say. institute -- felt ,fo institute, well-respected well known for their service and what we saw is business expectation tumbling to the lowest levels since 2009. where were you in 2009? we were in a financial crisis, a great recession. the head of the institute saying that the business climate indicator went into freefall in july with more than 80% of the factors in contraction. that's that turquoise blue line. you can see that this just underscores that you could not

have the whole question of worse and worse being better book ended by the pmi and now the ifo index today. the institute saying if this continues it could push germany into recession. we have now seen the impact on the bond markets. european markets selling off, not translating into the u.s. as well. kathleen: which is interesting because when this first came bonds started going up. then when draghi started speaking, people could see he was talking about rate cuts in the future. he said it is hard to be gloomy. he is not worried about recession, and apparently for bond traders who really needed a dovish statement from draghi to keep this rally going, that kind of put the kibosh on it for a while. does not negate what mario draghi's message was and is. september is just a couple

sales to their growth and outlook? >> that was one area that was actually pretty strong for them. we saw about a 37% year-over-year increase in terms of their other revenue category, which is basically their ad actually, that was even though the quarter was interpreted as being somewhat negative because they missed on the bottom line, that was actually part of the report that was actually very strong, so that is encouraging that they are continuing to garner more of that online advertising dollars because we saw great numbers earlier this week from facebook and snap in that same space. call: that's the encouraging side of the picture, but amazon has had to defend its story around this one-day delivery. how is that cutting and profitability, and does -- is amazon's story believable going forward that this is the way to go? >> it's not really much

different than we have seen from amazon over the years. they came out, said they are going to spend $800 million to do one-day shipment for all prime members, and that obviously impacted the bottom line. net margin dropped from over 7% to over -- two about 5.9%, and they missed in terms of earnings, so i think this has to hail back to the days when amazon was spending money to build fulfillment centers and do all these different things to kind of set the stage for growth down the road, and i think that is how we have to kind of view this investment in terms of one day shipment for prime members. a different story when it comes to earnings results for alphabet. it was pretty strong, beating estimates. will this calm some of the about growth? >> you are right. advertising revenue was up 16%. their other revenue, which is a place for gc p, which is their

cloud group and also their hardware group, that was also very good. there was a comment they made during the call where they said that the run rate right now for their cloud business is $8 billion, which would make you think they did probably about $2 million in the quarter. i think it does put aside some of those concerns we had after the first quarter that google was not growing fast enough, and it gives people some evidence that some of these newer businesses for them are starting to kind of take off a little bit. those especially for sectors like maps and shopping. will this add to their monetization potential? >> i think so. the key to them is keeping traffic acquisition costs down and finding new businesses, like the one you mention. also, driverless cars is another area of growth for them. youtubeutube tv and premium, those are areas they are really starting to monetize

in terms of advertising and i think they are really starting to get a handle on that. they have a lot of things they search injust beyond their standard model that could be pretty exciting for them. paul: just want to grab your thoughts on this book as well. reasonable set of numbers for them. privacy,risis of antitrust probe, but seemed to be crickets when it comes to the market. the stock just continues to perform. >> yeah, kind of like they just shrugged it off. they wrote a check for $5 billion. obviously, that was the largest settlement ever with the federal trade commission. think google wrote a check for past,$23 million in the and the market just kind of, in terms not even stop of into's he. they had really good growth in their ad revenues. it was very, very strong,

stronger than what we saw in the first quarter, and even though their monthly daily average user growth is slowing down to about 8%, they are still moving forward in terms of their of theirion of some newer platforms like messenger and whatsapp and so forth. things that are still positive about facebook even though they continue to be under this scrutiny from the federal trade commission. intel we also had numbers, sales, outlook all beating estimates. how much does this reassure investors that demand concerns, trade tension concerns will not affect the company? >> you have to remember that the bar was very low or intel coming into the quarter. we know texas instruments reported numbers a day or two ago and they were pretty solid. if you look at the intel numbers, their data center group going intothey make the cloud centers, that was

actually down 1%. -- excuse me,roup up 1%. the data center group was actually down 10%. if you sort through the numbers, they did better than expected. they raised guidance for the next quarter for the fiscal year, but it does not really change the fact that they are not really growing the top and bottom line right now. as i said, i think the bar was pretty low for intel. thanks for joining us. if you missed any part of that conversation, tv is your function. you can watch us live, watch past interviews as well. also become part of the .onversation this is bloomberg. ♪

euros and that they are very own -- very heavily weighted toward emerging markets. you are seeing an acceleration in declines in the beer category of they are really fighting an uphill battle to try to sustain volumes. they are doing a good job of premium rising -- premiumizing, and they've had a real winner in michelob ultra, but 70% of their u.s. portfolio is really vulnerable. particularly as this hard couldr phenomenon accelerate and make it harder for light beer to grow. paul: let's talk about the debt pile. if they are going to have another go at that ipo, how critical is it to get that lower? >> just to clarify, the us trillion deal will not close until the first quarter of 2020, sales price,llion

anywhere near a strong as the second. in terms of fx, if you look at where rates are today, we should be entering a much more favorable period going forward, but anything can happen in emerging markets. the argentinian crisis a year ago was not expected. if something like that were to happen, it could set them back, but the codes look fairly clear and even optimistic about 2020. shery: thank you very much for that. coming up, we are discussing markets and earnings. we will also focus on the trade pact between china and korea. plenty more to come. ♪ is it from "daybreak australia." we will have all the action in "daybreak asia" next.
