gathered which includes emails from executives and people who were there at the time, fourth -- for the first time, it really ways that out. it does not litigate or relitigate charges against him, but it does give some indication there may have been a motivation for why they cooperated with allegedors, why the miss doing from the alliance partner from nissan for many decades. we found the top executives, including the former head of the chief executives office and the aboutmself were worried plans to further consolidate of the alliance as early as february of 2019, almost a year before he was eventually arrested. this only coming out now? >> this story has been months in the making. reportingen a lot of

--nissan and there's been why they have cooperated and the allegations that are quite separate to this, why the backing that the company and executives in it gave to the tokyo prosecutors. this fills in some of those gaps about what they were worried about, what top executives at nissan were worried about. they did not want further consolidations and tieups between the automakers in the alliance and they were worried about their own fate in terms of reaction to what was a steadily deteriorating financial balance sheet for the company. going what does it mean forward for nissan in this alliance issue? >> this could potentially requite destabilizing. we learned of a memo sent by the

executive to the former ceo the day before going, he was laying out plan calling for the termination agreement that garners what is -- that -- that governs what is the alliance and gives renault certain power over nissan and the right to buy shares or even take the company over as well as the scrapping of their right to nominate key executives like it's coo. we know renault was kept in the dark and that has had some fundamental ramifications. coming at such a pivotal time, the auto industry and a huge pressure from the economic slowdown brought by the pandemic and more long-term pressures from this pivot to electrification, they need cooperation as much as they can at this time. shery: which is interesting

because it seems they will be cooperating even more than previously planned. what happens to those key players in this saga? are eitherthem working at nissan or have retired. the former ceo who was quite , with the the time head of nissan was concerned when those allegations came down. he himself left the company into number with his owns scandal. he remains at the company, doesn't speak, but has been pivotal in the internal investigation. emma o'brien, global managing editor with the latest on nissan. breaking news out of china -- beijing has removed this at -- a district level official for the

>> the and tally, the conditioning is very deeply embedded in this market. >> you don't think this pullback is materially worse? >> i think yesterday, while the market was due for a pullback, i think the tone was probably too harsh. >> if you think of where equities bottomed out and how fast and explosive they rebounded, they got overextended. the monetaryo with policy. >> for a time, it seemed like every thing was going to rally because the fed was behind you. now have to be more cautious. the fed is behind you but they are not going to rescue everybody. not everybody is going to make it. >> even with the policy response, it's going to take a while to get back to the long-term growth potential of the u.s. economy. sharpis not going to be a v and it's one subject to --

ounce back may not materialize. guestssome of our remarking on the wild end of the last week and markets. our next guest says we've seen some inconceivable things from market and economies from around the globe, from talk of negative interest rates to evaluations sales from to share a bankrupt company. let's get more from stephen glass. great to have you with us. theave seen it hurts to get green light raising cash, even saying they would warn buyers at the stock could become worthless. what is this telling us about the environment of rick -- of risk-taking at the moment? inconceivablean volume of risk taken at the moment. absolutelyely fab --

flabbergasted. but itit is going ahead, does make sense. i look at rings like the startup that hasn't sold a single car and has the same market cap as ford. tesla has twice the market cap of gm and ford combined. apple's market cap is approximately the same as your entire australian market. these are mind-boggling things in a lows resulted interest rate environment. we have seen they are probably going to take some gearing in their funds, so these are things that have not happened before. are getting a lot of it is creating some inconceivable things happening in markets and they don't relate with what's happening in the underlying economy.

ofwe are in an age uncertainty, severe uncertainty, and i worry about where this is leading us. is that saying we should be more conservative investing in the markets and position yourself more defensively now? steven: absolutely. should always be invested in the market -- don't try to pick the market. if you do that, you miss out on the 40% rally since mid march up however, it is imperative someone is conservatively conditioned, that means empties that have generated free cash flow that are growing, that have strong balance sheet and a reason for being. importantly, being diversified, it seems like there has been in the age of risk on, people have forgotten the importance of diversification. there is a herd mentality toward fan stocks, which are wonderful stocks but they are exceptionally expensive and crowded.

you need to marry valuation and growth together, and if you don't do that, you are taking up too much risk. and i make or break you, don't think that's a good idea. it's time to start up the conservatism in the four bed -- in the portfolio. as extraordinary as it seems, is just the function of a free market because you can't say the market hasn't been completely transparent. is it a good think that it can go ahead and do this, given it has openly said yes, your money coming or stocks may be worth nothing at the end of all of this steven:? it is a good thing that they can do it, it's a bad thing that people are prepared to get involved. we believe in free markets, but in the current market environment, risk on is like taking a whole lot -- taking a

case of beer to the aa meeting. you should be able to drink if you want to drink, but maybe that's not a good place to do it. i do think people should be able to do what they want to do, but this is not something you necessarily should be doing. much of these too examples of people taking on risk and in many cases, it is these investors investing in these kinds of stocks and they should be allowed to do it, but they are taking on risks many of them are not familiar with. just because it's easy to participate in the share market and you think you are good at it, it doesn't mean you can do it through all the environments and that doesn't mean it's always a good idea to get involved. the kinds of things we think people should be looking at now hold things like u.s. health insurers which are cheap and have a reason for being network affect, fantastic businesses. i can't say it's a crowded

trade. things like dollar tree, we get this great bifurcation between the rich and the poor and at the end of the day, people are going to have to go to discount retailers. just a quick number to give you a sense on how wide that gap has become -- the fed recently disclosed the richest 10% of the u.s. hold 90% of the equities. so we have these low interest rates and asset classes, but it all going to the rich people and most people are not experiencing that. so we think this makes sense and we bought shares in one of the biggest companies involved in debt restructuring. if you think there's going to be evenbankruptcies, i don't think -- there are more bankruptcies. if you want to play it, here's an established company that is cash-generative, that has a reason for being, and is not crowded because it does not have

the. calm at the end of it. the at the end of it. taking these risky positions is not the smart thing to do. haidi: usually we are talking about over exuberance and the mainland chinese markets. does that mean we have seen the scale up slower? the loss is about half last week. they present better opportunity? steven: there is no doubt that e.m.'s provide the best opportunity. they are forecast to grow about 6% over the long-term and then you have a market at 1% or 2%. so there's no doubt that is where the opportunity is long-term, but one has to be careful in the short-term and they have to be able to hold through the short-term.

for's are not as prepared covid. it's hard to shut down and economy where people live day by day and often live in very tight quarters. that's where we are seeing massive growth -- in brazil, india, nigeria, russia. all of these economies, except for china, presumably, and there are a lot of questions over that data and we saw the spike in beijing, but to go back to it, it is very tough for e.m.'s in this environment. when the economy slows, they slow more and covid is going to be a shock to them. vulnerablem.'s look in the short-term, but there's no doubt someone with the fortitude to hold for the long term, e.m.'s are where you want to be. shery: we appreciate your insight. we are listening to the s trillion prime ministers speaking in what is his state of

in places like new york and new jersey, they really crushed the coronavirus curve. they shut down their economy tightly and took them down to quite a low level. but if you look at texas, florida, arizona, tennessee, over 20 states were coronavirus ores are on the rise again hitting new peaks for the first right.nuchin is probably a national move on this come about i think you have to watch arearefully because there some troubling trends as well as positive trends from the coronavirus situation. what are we hearing, given we are hearing about ask leading cases in 20 states? what is the response from white house officials? >> president trump his closest on fromve really moved

worrying about coronavirus. the white house task force headed up by vice president morning, we heard from larry kudlow, his economic advisor, and he was bullish on the economy. he is typically bullish and talked about a strong surge in the fourth quarter and even says 80% of small businesses are back running again. he has said in the last few days, within a month or two, every business will be back. it is hard to prove that at this bullish viewpoint contrasts with jerome powell. it was an interesting double take on tv when we had kudlow saying at the end of the year unemployment would be below 10% and we had the fed governor saying it would be 8%. maybe 8% to 10% is the sweet spot.

officials have moved on and they don't seem to be focused on the caseload. shery: when it comes to the economy, we have to read between the lines. when it comes to unemployment among black americans, it's the highest level then more than a decade and topping that for white americans. what we are seeing, that trump bump has not benefited most americans. >> that is true. there was an interesting survey this morning that basically a majority of americans say they have not benefited financially from president trump's term. if you look at an indicator like market, if you look at comingmployment rate, into the coronavirus pandemic, maybe you would expect to see numbers there, but it points to the fact that gains in the the wealth had been

concentrated in surkin -- in certain segments. we've heard a lot in the past few days and weeks from state officials and others about as the economy recovers, they would like to see it become more inclusive. about policy ideas behind that. but it may be that we have come to a tipping point where policy will either be more inclusive as wealth is accrued on a more equal footing. we will have more perspective on the virus pandemic ahead with a harvard mobile health institute director in the next hour. coming up, emerging-market currencies see their winning streak snapped. this is bloomberg. ♪

reacted quickly to lockdown a key part of the city. at the moment, people can probably be reassured that china is acting fast enough to stop the spread from getting too much. that will probably start to filtering during the day and people should get more reassurance. >> does that mean we don't see a weakening in the yuan as a correlation with the second wave? seems all behaved since the end of march. we had a brief spike where it got close to 7.20 on offshore yuan, but it reversed from that. the core range for the dollar yuan has been 7.05-7.15. there's no reason to think it will be outside of that. it has been expensive to short the yuan, and that is something

traders will watch quite closely. the forward juncker of is steep and that's where most speculative traders will be using to finance their position. there is a consideration. yuanu want to attack the at the moment, you need a fast-moving environment and a lot of moves coming through quickly or the cost of shorting it will be quickly wiping out any profits you might see. that is not happening at the moment. we don't really see the constant flow of bad news coming out of china. but the data that comes today will probably health -- help offset the situation. the yuan will not move that far. pbocn depend on the keeping volatility down in the short-term at least. >> let me get to the question of the day -- how will hong kong stir assets this year? mark: it's a different picture from a year ago, when the street

protests came to the fore. people were very uncertain about what would happen with hong kong. we sell the stock market go down quite a bit during that time, underperforming a big part of asia. one year later, china introduced a new security law as well and they seem to be tightening up in ways that are keeping the street protests to a minimum. the bottom line is that hong kong equities in particular are relatively cheap in relation to the rest of asia, probably on a global basis as well. the fact that you got stability in the hong kong dollar, there shouldn't be as many of the disruptions that we've gotten used to over the weekend last year. people can start to focus on the relative book value they see in hong kong, which is quite low. with companies reestablishing their networks with asian markets starting to reopen.

with china the biggest contributor to hong kong as well , reestablishing its economy there. peoplet as bad as some have been worried about for hong kong. we should see a gradual improvement in hong kong assets. as long as the hong kong managerial authority sticks to its normal situation of geeking -- of keeping the hong kong dollar study, and everything points to they will continue to do that, they are not giving up on the peg, the outlook for hong kong is better this year than last year. >> our strategist mark cranfield. you can follow more on our market lives blog. onecan get a rundown with click and there is commentary and analysis from expert editors. still ahead, more on the outlook from hong kong and an exclusive conversation with a chairman. why she is supportive of china's security bill despite the sharp

i think that depends on obviously the relaxation of mobility restrictions, if people feel comfortable to go out, and also if they feel comfortable about future income. thatecent data suggest consumers are gradually coming back, and we expect continuing recovery in retail sales even though it is lagging the hind things like industrial production and construction, infra structure and so on. is twofold in what you just said, what could prevent the consumer led rebound in china. theis that we are seeing second wave with the cluster in beijing. that has shut down economic activity and consumer activity in a large part of the capital. also the jobless rate. we have heard it could be as high as 20% unofficially. wang: yeah.

the impact of covid-19 on the economy was in the first quarter. -- people were not working at the end of march. the number greatly diminished by the end of april by more than half, and that number should continue to decline in may as well. numberunt of people, the of people who are no longer not working by the end of may will probably decline more. that means income is also recovering, the jobless rate coming down as locals go back to work. in beijing, i think the second wave is a concern for the global economy and in china. in beijing, they had shut down the food market and elsewhere. [indiscernible]

tens of thousands have been traced and isolated. it is not anything like february and march. trends of domestic activity continue to recover. shery: what about the risk that despite the fact that you don't have mobility restrictions, people might change the way they think about going out, eating out, social distancing measures, and change the fundamental behaviors of people, eventually affecting consumption? wang: absolutely. i think that's probably one of the long-term impacts, that people remain reluctant. -- of economy more crowded, before the crisis, before the virus. restaurants and travel will take some time to recover. retail sales, our expectations

for may is recovering, but still year on year, a minor decline. construction and industry production should have your near growth. we are looking at i.t. growth. it will be an uneven recovery. online sales, online entertainment should continue to be much stronger, but off-line entertainment will be weaker. shery: talking about long-term effects, where will we see the biggest impact of rising trade tensions, protectionism around the world, the decoupling between the u.s. and china? addedi think covid-19 more -- it is an additional factor for that decoupling already happening. is the biggest risk probably going forward.

that companies are getting pressure from their government on the supply chain. people see [indiscernible] trade tensions rising as well. the data continues to show strength in china much better than expected. chinaand may, exports and were -- compared to a year ago. there's also a benefit of producing in china where it is first in, first out in terms of the virus control. i think there's going to be, again, some companies staying in

china or moving or at least at the moment, maybe not in a rush to move and some companies continue to think of decoupling going forward. how much of a concern is the output gap when it means for employment data as well as the prospect for exporter deflation essentially? for the output gap, i think one of the longer-term covid-19 shows a great recession across the world, even though china is rebounding somewhat. the global demand will remain week and even in china itself, consumption recovery is slow. uncertaintyorporate and they will be reluctant to invest even with unprecedented monetary easing across the world

and even with stimulus measures in china. we expect corporate capex spending to decline this year year on year, even with government infrastructure support and properties staying resilient. sorry, what was the second question? haidi: exporter deflation. [laughter] wang: exporter deflation, yes. i think in the interest of the overall global demand weakness, of course we have commodity prices coming down, and that has translated into deflationary pressures. that said, i think there is a tech cycle going on around the world and memory chip prices are rising. in the last few months, we've seen strength in exports of electronics out of china but also out of taiwan and korea as well. that's another thing. sorry, we have to

♪ ghosn always said he was set up and now there is some evidence that might support his claim. reed stevenson led the reporting on this. there might have been a methodical campaign to oust him. what did you find out? heard from various sources of information about what you just described, a campaign that began around february of 2018 up through november 2018 when carlos ghosn was arrested. essentially starting with concern over his push to seek a

closer relationship with renault and nissan. and then later as the date of the arrest near to conversations internally talked about how nissan would seek to essentially seize the opportunity by his removal to redefine its relationship with renault, its partner of 20 years. makingt of a global auto alliance with mitsubishi motors. haidi: where are we at when it comes to the main players in this drama? reed: yes, so, one of the key people here is harry nada. he was head of the ceos office. he has a cooperation agreement with prosecutors and really led a lot of the investigation into what carlos ghosn did. he was also integral in what i

just described, the relationship with renault. he is still at nissan. carlos ghosn made a dramatic escape last year and is now essentially an international fugitive in lebanon. a few other people, executives and others, have had to leave the company as a result. for different reasons. and also, greg kelly, a board member of nissan also arrested, he is still awaiting trial in tokyo. been changes to the partnership with renault, but given this seems to be at the heart of the conflict, what does it mean for the reliance -- the alliance? reed: the alliance continues. they forged a new agreement in march of 2019 and just last month reiterated their

commitment to work with each other. and given the global pandemic and the drop in demand for new automobiles across the globe, they need each other more than ever. in fact, if they work out synergies, which they are, they should be able to get through this. robust it remains how each auto company on its own can remain given the pressures on the business to the topline and bottom-line. haidi: our senior editor reed stevenson there with the latest installment on carlos ghosn and nissan. let's get to the markets. sophie cameroon is looking at a mixed picture to start the trading week in asia. in the region led by the kospi off 1/10 1%. it will be a data heavy week for

so theody expected it, element of surprise probably created a little bit of uncertainty. david: why is it that businesses feel they have to pick a side? laura: i believe in the current geopolitical environment, many companies are finding it very difficult to navigate. and especially for companies that operate in multiple jurisdictions. each company makes its own decision and will take its own position. i think it's up to the company to decide what will be best for them. david: and an terms of the concerns you've heard from institutional investors, what would those concerns be? and at the end of the day, how does the government and the business community address those concerns and hopefully lay that to rest? laura: i think first and foremost, it is confidence. by the time the detail regulations come out, what i

beijing has closed its largest fruit and vegetable market and locked down surrounding houses after the largest daily rise in new covid-19 infections since late april. most cases involve people who work at the market or had been there the last few days. a district level official has been removed after the resurgence, with beijing saying the risk of a second wave spreading is high. covid-19 cases are also reported in latin america, with daily highs recorded in mexico, chile and argentina. in brazil, the total number of infections are nearly 900,000 brazil has the highest number of fatalities in the world after the u.s., after passing the u.k. over the weekend. meanwhile, france is speeding up its reopening. president macron said france is ready to turn the corner from the coronavirus after 30,000

deaths. restaurants and bars are reopening in paris next week. the french economy is expected to shrink by about 11% this year. and spain is to announce a $4 billion stimulus on monday with plans for the tourism industry later this week. tourism accounts for almost a quarter of the nation's gdp. both sectors have been severely hit with the pandemic, with the spanish economy expected to shrink as much as 15% this year. global news 24 hours a day on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm karina mitchell. this is bloomberg. shery: for more on the global buyers outbreak, -- global virus outbreak, we are joined by our guest. right to have you with us. we continue to see more reports of infections not only in the united states but also in china.

in beijing, the dreaded potential second wave hitting more economies. what are governments doing wrong, or is a second wave pretty much inevitable at this point? >> thanks for having me. right now, i would say many countries are still dealing with the first wave. certainly china got over its first wave and much of western europe and spain, other countries were able to get past. america is still struggling with the first wave, brazil, latin america. africa has not even li bin hit yet. it is slowly growing. take the virusto much more seriously than they are doing. especially countries not doing well, still not taking it seriously enough. we are still in the first wave but the lockdowns are starting to ease. here in the united states, for

example, with states opening across the u.s., did they do enough to control the outbreak and -- or are we not there yet? in the u.s. you see is basically the federal government, the u.s. federal government has abdicated any leadership role and has said every state has to figure this out on their own. president trump doesn't want to be involved in managing the virus. what that means is some states are doing a good job and working slowly and carefully building a good testing infrastructure, and many states opened to early or without a good plan, without much testing, and they are starting to suffer in terms of a large increase in cases. how effective is contact tracing when you have large gatherings almost inevitable in the next few weeks? ashish: i think large gatherings

in general, if you can avoid them, they are not a great idea. they fuel disease outbreaks. contact tracing is a really important part of disease control. it is harder to do with large gatherings. even if they are not perfectly effective, they are still useful to do. i have encouraged policymakers under every circumstance, if you can invest in contact tracing, it is almost always worth it. haidi: it is interesting, it feels like markets and a lot of health care officials are under the belief that we will have a vaccine sooner rather than later. some saying they think we will get a vaccine by the end of this year. how likely is this a false hope given how long we know it takes other vaccines and develop meant? -- development? ashish: typically vaccines take 5-7 years. i think we will have a vaccine

relatively quickly. to me, the most optimistic scenario that is still grounded in reality is sometime in 2021 and probably closer to the midpoint of 2021. we may have identified a vaccine but there are some any complexities to producing hundreds of millions of doses and assuring people it is actually safe so they give it to their children and elderly parents. this idea that by november and a summer we will have the data and everybody is ready for a vaccine i think is a lot of wishful thinking, and i think under the best of circumstances, it is probably the second quarter of 2021. shery: there's also a lot of hype about antibody test. i have some friends who have done this and tested negative. is it worth going into a coronavirus clinic to get tested for antibodies? do we now know more about what immunity it could provide?

ashish: [laughter] this has been more hyped than i know what to do with. antibodies are very helpful. it gives you a sense of how much diseases in a community. for the average person, is not clear whether it is useful. poor of antibody tests are quality. so if it is a positive you don't know if it is a true positive. we are still learning what a positive test means in terms of immunity. i have not been encouraging my colleagues and friends to get one. i think we need a better understanding of what these test are telling us before we rush out and get them. a final word on vaccines, picking up on what you said. there are real concerns and doubts over efficacy and safety by the time we get it right, because even if we get one by the middle of next year, a lot of people are concerned that corners have been cut. if we listen to what authorities are saying and they are saying we are not cutting corners, the are conducting trials in

parallel, why wouldn't they do that for every other drug underdevelopment? we know how expensive and unprofitable that your bang of time can be. why wouldn't they be doing -- timefitable that period of can be. why wouldn't they be doing that with everything? we started human trials before animal trials and that's usually a level of risk we would not undertake in most circumstances but we were able to do it because we were in the middle of a pandemic. there are also financial risks we are willing to take moving from one phase to another and another. i think coming out of this vaccine, future vaccine develop and probably will get faster and shorter, but i believe that the most important and best way to bring the pandemic to a close is not just to have a vaccine, a vaccine that has been tested well enough that people feel confident in not just its

effectiveness but it's safety. oft requires a large number people being inside a clinical trial following them for long enough that people feel like they know what the vaccine is doing. shery: giving the trends you are witnessing right now across the united states, are you expecting to see more states or a few states at least reimpose a shelter-in-place order as continue to see more infections? ashish: this is of course what we want to avoid, having to shut down in shelter-in-place again. the problem is, many states opened to fast and are seeing a very rapid growth in cases. they have no plans for how to curtail and slow down that spread. at some point they might find themselves in the unappetizing situation of having to shut down again. i hope we don't get there but i am worried it will happen. harvardhat was the
